Now, I’m not surprised it was called two on the ice. IF Greentree got a penalty for his, I would’ve assumed it was two as well.
I think the two is a better assessment for the act.
Greentree was given 5 for an assumed injury, which was nothing. Hurt was given 2, for the act.
I’d rather guys be penalized for their actions, not the result of their actions. There’s a lot of clean hits that result in injuries, welcome to hockey bud, move on. You intentionally swing your stick at someone’s head, whether you knock him unconscious or not, you gotta Guo.
Hurt was making a defensive play on the guy with the puck, it sucks Belchetz got hurt. Greentree was making a play to obtain the puck, it sucks Dickinson fell down.
NOW, I Agree more with the call last night than on Greentree from the Refs. But the league can’t review these nearly identical incidents and suspend one and not the other… can they?
