Alex Belzile of the Montreal Canadiens hit Scott Laughton from behind into the boards. Flyer Wade Allison went right after Belzile and forced him into a fight. Allison got an extra 2 and 10 for instigating and Belzile got nothing, putting Montreal on the power play. They scored to go up 3-0. Blame the missed call. NOT the instigator penalty.

Tough to listen to you, you said it either its a penalty or its not, this is hockey, do not bend over in the corner (like a sheep)and expecto to get a call if you get touched and act like a soccer player, ringette is played without equipment?? #playoff hockey
Yeah im a Habs fans and was shocked that didn't get called. It really should have been at least 2 for boarding.
The refs miss so many calls . Get rid of the Instigator completely and let players ploice the game . Too many cheap shots are taken because of the Instigator Rule . It been increasing ever since the rule came in .
yes its a penalty but still why dropping the gloves to a boarding
The instigator penalty is one of the worst in the league. Hold the officials accountable for their shit calling and see what happens
