The dude was already falling down and defenseless from the first cross check. In another sport we'd call that unnecessary roughness, and it would be a big penalty.

Here’s the major penalty for the VGK/SJS game last night. Major penalty?

The stick was high and it came off another hit. I can see that being a major

The penalty wasn't called on the second hit. It was called on the first hit

if that's the case....HORRIBLE CALL

Well deserved major.

They only called it a major because Pavelski was injured on the play

Of course the hit was dirty. Both were. Well deserved major.

That cross check happens on almost every faceoff. The second hit was the problem

Just FYI, I'm actually just being a punk. I don't really follow hockey. 🙂

Lol. Sorry, I'm a little testy. I was so angry, I only got an hour and a half of

Me too... My wife had to tell me to calm down many times. I was fuming.

Weak call.

None of the refs called it live. No one with a hand up. Only after they realized

If you think that is a major you don't know hockey...

They told Gallant it was a cross-check to the head. They were about a foot high

Thank you. Another great voice of reason.

You are lying if you say you have never seen that called in Junior or College hockey.

Was there blood? Not to be insensitive. I have seen a few photos

Don't call me a liar and yes I have seen that type of cross check

Canusa

I’m calling you a liar if you claim you have played for years and NEVER seen that called.

Comparing the penalty call to the Saints no call is not a good comparison. The

No one (or at least very few) are saying that a minor penalty wasn’t warranted

Pistol Shrimp

4/24/19 7:58am

Oh, it should have been a penalty, and none of us think it shouldn't have been

mannheimadler

4/24/19 7:59am

I agree. 4 min double minor would have been a better call.

This is where I land on it too. Vegas imploded.

Is there an obscure rule about hitting the opponent following a face-off? Like not hitting the deep snapper?

The second hit... To clarify

germm

4/24/19 7:35am

Except the tweet is wrong....they scored FOUR times on the PP to take the lead.

StarMan

They didn't have to give up 3 pp goals.
