You guys need to read up on the definition of boarding.

That’s a clear penalty even if it wasn’t a headshot.

It’s a boarding, but the context of the play is what I have an issue with. The ref is staring G the play the whole time, calls nothing, then waits until the Avs are up the ice to call it dead. Then they review it, but decide to say it’s a minor and not a major (even though I’m pretty sure that shouldn’t be possible)

Then lift your f***ing hand and blow it dead as soon as we touch up, not when we get into the offensive zone 10 seconds later

This is my issue with it. It wasn't whistled right away. How do they review it?

How about going back to review that elbow on Mikko, since apparently that's what we do in the NHL now.

Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

Rantanen invited the penalty upon himself by taking the action of initiating contact on a downed opponent. However, it wasn't heavy contact and the ref (who was looking right at it) didn't call anything. I am more confused on them retroactively calling a minor penalty. If this is the standard, are they going to go back and review every missed trip or hook?
