Vatrano cross-checks Kostin and gets knocked down with a left hook

The Klim Reaper does what he does best.

As long as the gloves are still on that's a cheap shot and should have been more than 2 minutes.

How long was he down for? It seemed like a little bit of embellishment? Also, unless there is more to this between the 2 from an earlier play, Vatrano didn't start it in the video shown.

Thread is hilarious.

The chicken wing was barely an elbow - he was digging for the puck. Even if it was an elbow, he was going about 2mph and didn't even connect. Let's not cry wolf here. Vatrano took offense anyway - fine - and put a lot of weight into a cross check. Fine. Kostin said f*** around and find out, and dropped him with a gloved punch. Might have been embellished, might have been a great punch, might have been unfair to punch but far better to have done it with glove and squared up from the front, not side or back.

Both got offsetting minors. Seems about right given the cross check was also dangerous.

Move on.

When you need to add in "even if it was an elbow", you should probably just stop typing.

That's like somebody justifying a cross check with "His arms were nearly fully extended before the cross check hit Kostin, so there wasn't weight behind it."

Yea, no. Vatrano turned into a lil bitch. Poor guy. Legends has it he's down embellishing it.
