Matt Martin picked up a two minute minor penalty for interference on this play against Jordan Staal. Tough Call will be reviewing the incident. Have your say!
That's 5 and game for me, if only for the continuous non-stop penalties…. cross checking, interference, unsportsmanlike… That "sit down"…. that's a game misconduct all by itself. Matt Martin is a less talented Bunting.
Islanders complaining about the missed high stick that Mayfield put into his own face are forgetting that the Islanders, despite facing 20 minutes of power plays, still had trips and other penalties not called all night. So I don't want to hear it, because if every penalty were called the Canes would have won this well before OT
This was premeditated. Martin came directly off the bench and cross checked the hurricanes captain. My question is was Martin instructed to do this by his coach.
I'm an Isles fan and I can't believe Martin wasn't given a lot more. The refs could have called 4 different infractions there. Hell, they called a phantom slash on Pelech in game one, then they hardly call anything that doesn't result in bleeding in game 2.
That's not interference because Staal touched the puck right before the hit. It also wasn't cross checking because he used his fists to check him and not the stick. It was just a dirty cheap shot from behind.

That’s a clear cut penalty there and wouldn’t be upset at a game suspension. Intention is clear on that one
POS

Tough call, more like easy call.
I would have called two separate penalties on that. 5v3 for two minutes.

lets review the Hurricanes penalties, it won't take long
Martin is a thug and he wouldn't have done that to someone who would've come up swinging and clean his clock. punk move
Greasyyy
Should’ve got double minor, interference and unsportsmanlike conduct.
