Dmitry Orlov hit Zach Hyman face first into the glass and there was no call. A few seconds later Ryan Nugent-Hopkins hit Orlov in the corner, and it was deemed two minutes for interference.
Which of these calls, if any, was correct? Have your say!

I don't think the first one's penalty-worthy. But the second one is.
Ones interference the other isn’t, it’s simple. Right call and non call made
DIRTY BY ORLOV
RNH was a bit late in his pay back is all. That he got called for it is fine too yet there were other plays made by Carolina that never did get called like when Kulaks stick was being held that led to a Carolina goal. Seth Jarvis got away with some questionable stuff imo yet anytime the Oilers got near him or hit him & he fell down & the Refs called a penalty against the Oilers.
Great call by the refs
I call that a ‘little late’ and a blind side hit, but i dont think there is a penalty for a blind side hit, just shame after.
One is a good hit and one is a late cheap shot. On the first hit – players need to stop turning ass towards an incoming hit. The gayest move ever.
Per usual, NHL reffing is so horribly inconsistent.
Neither are a penalty. Don't admire your pass
The second hit is a late hit, from behind with all the force they could muster.
The first hit was while there was possession of the puck. The player initiating the hit was smart and let up at the end and didn't follow through for the boarding call.
I agree with both calls.
Both are the right calls. Orlov didn’t have time to stop himself as Hyman had just left his possession. Nugget had plenty of time to move himself away to prevent the hit and the puck was gone for much longer.
