To be honest it would be better to mess with your opponent during the faceoff and get him to slash at your stick to break it so they get the 2 minutes for slashing.
Don't blame the ref's, blame the player. All he had to do was communicate to the ref's. Chose to play dumb & milk a few extra seconds. Got a couple minutes
The refs drive to the game. They have a vehicle in the parking lot. Just follow them out and tune em' up. That's what the boys used to do in the 70's 80's and into the 90's.
Everyone in this situation needed to relax. It's preseason. This is likely a reputation call for the Wings. They have become one of the whiniest and most bush league teams in the league since Lalonde took over.
Physics dictates that pressure applied to to the stick by leaning on it would cause it to break between the lower hand and the ice, it would not break between the two hands (unless already weakened in this area), so any idiot who thinks this is a good call should head back to middle school.
ALL the refs wore TML underwear as kids, and still do. The NHL HQ in TO wants to make sure he Makebelieves get EVERY call in their favor this year, cuz ya know 1967………..

Detroit vs everybody
Toronto cheating as usual
Tavares retying his skated during the penalty call for delay of game , is just another level of trolling

The announcers leave out that Detroit’s line was out for 1:45 already. He was trying to milk it n get extra time
Great call from veteran official Garrett Rank
Im a leafs fan and that was a bullshit call.
ref is a complete moron.
Reminds me of when philly refs called the same penalty on Montreal for changing their stick in OverTime 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
