Laval Rocket’s Xavier Simoneau gets injured from hit to the head, refs take forever to stop play



Late in the 1st period, Simoneau was hit in the head by Hartford Wolf Pack’s Matt Rempe. The referees didn’t initially call a penalty and let play continue while Simoneau was lying on the ice. After a long consultation period, the refs gave Rempe a 5-minute penalty and a game misconduct for a check to the head. The lack of a stoppage during an obvious injury was eerily similar to what happened to Simoneau exactly 1 year ago, as seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSFv3VxXO_M&t=297s
At least this time, Simoneau was able to return to the game.
