Better than a major.. we got lucky boys.
Probably fair to be honest. It didn’t look like an intentional knee-on-knee, let alone intentional intent to injure. He went to lay the body and just kind of missed… it’s a dangerous play and he needs to realize that if you’re finishing a check like that, you *have* to make contact with the upper body, but I don’t see this being suspension worthy as it looked mostly accidental
I don’t feel like he intentionally stuck his knee out. 2 minutes was fair.
The hit wasn’t done with intent to injure. It was late, and the puck was out of the area, but I’d say that had to do more with first game timing. Two minutes is fine. I’d say a major would be way over the top.
Fine Werenski for the flop. All that commotion because of a bruise? Get real.
Hathaway DPS speed run, any %
