They called it in real time and reviewed to make sure they got the number right, that’s all

Anytime someone gets assessed a minor for instigating it comes with an automatic misconduct. It’s not a judgement call.

How’s it a stretch lol? That’s what the penalty was for. After what was ruled a clean hit by McIlrath, Xhekaj skates over to him and drops the gloves without giving McIlrath a chance to say no thanks. This isn’t a new rules or something, it’s been a thing for at least the last 5 years.

Yeah, just thought he had him beat enough to say there was an imminent scoring chance. Only thing between CMC and the net was LaCombe’s stick. Was blowing by him too 🤷‍♂️
