This week:

  • A goal line stop - or was it - at Canes vs. Senators Game 1
  • Habs’ Anderson takes out Bolts’ D’Astous and sees his penalty reduced from a major to a minor… and then has his goal wiped out on a stick that was too damn high
  • Tampa’s Hagel hits Montreal’s Guhle, resulting in a high stick on Brayden Point. That doesn’t seem fair… 
  • Goaltender interference at Kings vs. Avalanche
  • Mammoth’s Durzi is out there doing head butts
  • Strange one at Senators vs. Hurricanes where a penalty shot is awarded for a hook that never happened after a goal is disallowed for an offside zone entry. Did you get all that?
  • Down goes Crosby! A career first for Sid the former Kid, picking up an embellishment penalty prior to a faceoff against the Flyers’ Garnet Hathaway
  • More chaos at Flyers vs. Pens as Rust and Konecny go at it with unpenalized elbows - and maybe a kick - as the refs break out the riot pads
  • Stars’ Benn goes high on an unsuspecting Boldy, picking the head… another accidentally on purpose play from the Dallas captain?
  • Carolina’s Hall takes out Ottawa’s Jake Sanderson with an illegal check to the head.
