Gotta See It: Chiasson gets game misconduct for spearing Cousins
After a whistle, Calgary Falmes forward Alex Chiasson spears Philadelphia Flyers forward Nick Cousins in the mid-section, gets a five-minute major for spearing and a game misconduct.
They also agreed it was a weak penalty, so in the name of good sportsmanship they made a point to not score on a 5 minute man advantage and the 5 on 3, what good sports. Or they just Suck, but as a Flyers fan i hope it was the sportsmanship thing lol
Looked more like a love tap but I'm sure it hurt some. Five minutes (for intention to injure) but no game misconduct needed, unless it is to preempt retaliation.
they gave him this punishment to learn you can do everything , legal or dirty these days even with all the cameras, slo mo, and HQ in Toronto for calls. just dont do it in front of refs and the other team's bench ffs.

how does a little tap get him thrown out of the game but nyquist just got 4 minutes for spearing a guy's face?! the nhl is full of bullshit
I dont respect any player who spears another player, but if you're gonna do it don't do it in front of the freaking official…moron
As a flyers fan, that's a total dive. Uncalled for that he was even poked, but still, a 5 minute major? Pretty soon any check will be interference.
I'm a Flyers fan, and yeah that was embellished a lot
2 for spearing, 2 for embellishment
Pretty sure it was a major because Chiasson was dumb enough to do it right in front of an official. And I thought Nyquist was an idiot…
It's amazing how many people in the comments don't have a clue.
lmfao does it right infront of the linesman, what a bird
I'm willing to bet this guy went home from school early often as a child because he was 'sick.'
The Wideman Tax
Spearing should be 5 and a game. Its a garbage act, and has no room in the sport. Hopefully this discourages other players from doing it.
Little embellishment imo, but that deserved an ejection. From a Ranger fan who hates the Flyers
Cousins should be fined for embellishment
I'm an oilers fan and even I can say that was a soft call. Definitely not worth the 5 mins .
Dumb and unsportsmanlike. But give him a double minor at worst. Game misconduct use to mean something.
Cousins deserves an Oscar with that performance.
Ref needs to chill out.

No any intentional act like that no matter how hard if it's intent is to hurt someone you get 5, a misconduct and mandatory suspension
he barely touched him, and this is coming from a Canucks fan
"can make a case for it not being 5 min" …. really? the intent was clearly there. biased calgary commentators…
Should've been two for embellishment
2 minutes for diving. This isnt goddamn soccer.
they gave him this punishment to learn you can do everything , legal or dirty these days
even with all the cameras, slo mo, and HQ in Toronto for calls.
just dont do it in front of refs and the other team's bench ffs.
Should be suspended because that was a dangerous spear and right in front of the linesman and low and after the play.
shouldn't be a five
Yes
Nice flop bud
live by the stick, die by the stick
Alex Chiasson, what a friggin TART! What an oscar winner, you does it so well.
I thought he speared his cousins lol
He got him in the arm? Embellishment by Cousins
The guy is a better actor than hockey player
What. A. Dumbshit.
Right in front of the linesman????? Seriously???????
0:25 watch #39s stick.
This is recommended to me after Chiasson gets suspended for cross checking Vesey
This just happend again
"Right in front of a linesman"……..just like running a stop sign with a cop behind you.
