Funny thing is if he just stayed on the ice no doubt it would’ve been 5. I know divings frowned upon but when that’s your standard can you blame players for doing it?
starting to think Wings fans would prefer if hockey wasn't played with sticks considering how bad they're getting bent over by crosschecking inconsistencies.
I get sometimes the calls are inconsistent with penalties like goaltender interference and kicking motion because no one understands those rules, but this is a call they should never miss.
People not getting that you can’t make the same bad call twice just for the sake of consistency. If that were the case then they may as well keep calling majors on that play all season long
No institutional memory of how Lindgren likes to throw dirty crosschecks on people? Like last season when he hit Vrana in the back right under the numbers? No? Well then, puck you NHL.
Color me surprised. I was good with the 5 minute major and misconduct to Larkin. A fine was also the right call, I'd have been okay with a game too. Suddenly the same thing happens against the Red Wings and the opposing team only gets a minor? Absolutely disgraceful. Both were major worthy and both should have been majors. Hard not to think the league is heavy handed against Detroit when they not only miss a cross check to the head against Larkin about a week ago, then after giving Larkin a major and game misconduct with a fine for a cross check to the head, the very next game they look at Ras getting cross checked to the face and then only giving a 2 minute minor? Ridiculous. With how the officiating is and the weakness of DOPS, we might be due another strike at this rate.
Let's see. Just last night alone. Seider high sticked, no call. Ras cross checked in the face, 2 minutes. Ras throwing a clean hit then cross checked from behind, 2 min charging and 2 min roughing on him, and 2 min for Fox. The reffing in this league is a joke, and has been for a long time now.

Lindgren said he was sorry….. or something
Colorado flashbacks
Horrible non-call. Hopefully there was SOME justice dealt from the Wings in the game.

Lalonde needs to go full Cooper in the post-game interview and threaten to sue George Parros
NHL loves Rangers 💘
Classic rags
And Larkin basically got ejected and fined 5k. What is up NHL????

NonConsensual Assault is part of the game
I guess it's a Detroit thing, it's well documented in football.
This and the Larkin crosscheck should both be double Minors for high sticking.

Rangers laid an egg. Ganja seeds for those in need, Happy Birds Fly Higher, Cheep Cheap!
Refs tried to help ya Rangers

It went to the situation room. Good one Toronto! Great officiating all around.
I can’t stand the Detroit homer broadcaster.
80+ years, 1 cup…
I’m not even a Detroit fan but this is why I will continue to look for streams online instead of paying and supporting such garbage.

Look, I hate Detroit and NYC in all facets…but that's messed up Lindgren didn't get kicked out for this
So we just going to ignore they playing Where's Your Head At 😛
it's easy to start yelling when there's someone in between, how about putting that energy into act ion rather than words
That’s fucking awful
I think Larkin has a good reason to ask for his 5k back.
It's only a penalty if a Red Wing does it.

idk why people are bitching, larkins was way worse
The fact this was only 2 but Larkin got 5 and a game is why I'm starting to hate the NHL. The one sport I can stand to watch, too 🤦♂️
To the neck for sure is 5 & Gsme.
The inconsistency is wild but at the same time neither were suspension worthy in my view.
need more cross check to the head, love it
I think neither of these plays should be majors, but considering that thet are being called ad game miscinducrs, this should be a misconduct
Chris Lee. Enough said. Incredible he's still employed.
