Yeah, great call. Remove one of the most entertaining defensemen ever from the game for an accident. Double minor would've been more appropriate, but the NHL is run by lawyers.
He did not deserve a match penalty for that! You can clearly see from the replay that there was no malicious intent on that boarding incident. However, i think players should probably completely refrain from any attempt to board players when they are that close to the boards
I'm OK with the decision…where my problem lies is we've seen 10 000 times more vicious hits in the past that have been punished less severely. 0 consistency whatsoever in this league
I mean, definitely a minor penalty, or at worst a double minor, but… wow. Ok then. Careful what you wish for, NHL Player Safety. Expect a lot of people demanding more game misconducts for non-malicious contact.
Oh and hey, if you're a young hockey player reading this, watch that body positioning. Don't do that. You're likely to get hurt. Play like you KNOW there's a guy coming up on you. Yup, I'm victim blaming here.
A high sticking with injury (comparable) is a double minor. The league needs some clarity on injuries. A little bloody lip vs out of action for weeks are both injuries in the refs eyes.
What was the injury ??????? he was playing a few minutes later meanwhile Brock is still out and what's up with the guy that hit him ?? 1 game ?? what a joke

weakest major penalty call I've ever seen
Thr NHL is a joke
This league is an absolute disgrace I’m actually embarrassed now a days to admit I played hockey.
This is what happens when you puke a little American puke who’s never played the game in charge of a warrior sport.
Norris get up up fucking pussy

that call was 10-ply soft
Weak call for sure. 2 minutes
they reviewed this and still made that call?!
Lol give me a break. He hardly touched the guy
Those refs should be fired
Such a lame call
lol hughes is one of the smallest guys on the ice. terrible reffing

Senators bull sheet…
It looked pretty bad but come on now and then Norris comes back really
this happens at least once a night
NHL officiating is just ruining the game. Inconsistent and over-reactive.
5 game suspension!!!!!!
Queen Hughes is such a dirty player. He should be suspended for at least 10 games.
Na 2 mins thats crazy to kick him out for that.
Stop cross checking dudes in the back like a coward
They're buddies as far as i rememeber. Thats gotta suck for the both of them
Weak call, that's 2 at most. They only called it more to make an example for no reason
Two minutes at most.
That's a minor, wtf.
That was horrible
that's not a 5 and Game lol that's so soft…2 mins for cross-checking at most. Why didn't the coach say something? lol freaking statue back there.
Hockey is becoming unwatchable

Not a fan of either team(Oiler fan) that's a minor penalty
Right on. Way to dive an draw the penalty. Shit call from the refs here.
2 minutes for boarding
What was the injury ??????? he was playing a few minutes later meanwhile Brock is still out and what's up with the guy that hit him ?? 1 game ?? what a joke
Dirty player
MLB, NFL, NHL, and MLS are all legally governed as sports entertainment. Same category as WWE.
5min and a game for diving.
That wasn't boarding, the guy lost his edge
Lost my parlay for time on ice
He was the last one I needed for a six man win 😢
Hughes is a dirty player
Maybe a double minor at most. It definately want a viscous attack. A light push on the number and he fell unfortunately face first into boards.
Whos here after the eichel hit on ekholm?
Yep that echel hit on ekholm should of been 5 and a game as well
