Svechnikov crosschecking major on Duhaime – Have your say!
Andrei Svechnikov was ejected for a major penalty and game misconduct on this crosscheck to the back of the head of Brandon Duhaime, sending him into the boards. Tough Call will be reviewing the incident.
I would not object if he was suspended 10 games for that. This should be a major if it's done on open ice, and the proximity to the boards increases the danger substantially.
not a good hit but it was exacerbated by Duhaime catching edges of his blades that caused him to crash into the boards…having a big Russian pushing doesn't help at all.

Honestly, Svech seems like a good guy…but he should probably get a small suspension for this. That's just an absolutely terrible play to make there.
