I'm conflicted on this one. Does he get cross checked in the face pretty hard? Yeah. But he's also a midget (in NHL terms) and spinning and falling all at the same time. Do you still need to be responsible for your stick? Yeah. But we see all the time head hits are deemed "not as bad" if the player is falling or at an unusual height. Pospisil hits the chest or shoulder or arm on probably 95% of NHL players. I don't know, maybe I'm biased against the rat prick, but I'd go double minor for roughing here, or call it high sticking if he was bleeding.
Škoda dlhšie nehral a teraz ako poznám NHL tak zas nebude hrať dostane stopec a pravdepodobne aj pokutu o marchanta už bolo postarané Martin tam nemusel vletiet v tomto prípade
Karma's a bitch. Marchand, who is a full volume rat with a long rap sheet, got greased. Weirdly, I don't feel sorry for him after what I've seen him do to other players when they were in vulnerable situations (slew foots etc.). Had Pospisil kept his stick below Marchand's should, it would have been limited to a minor penalty at worst.

Wow, Marchand is really dumb.
Guys really don’t seem to get on with Marchand. It’s hard to understand. It’s like he’s got a magnet in his head that attracts sticks.
Seems like such a nice young man…
Yeah, well, you can't cross check to the head. Not even Marchand. I know, eh? But I checked the rule book just to be sure. Shocked as you are.
diving
Regardless of who it was on the receiving end, that could be suspension worthy. Definitely 5 and a game.

That was a dive by 63…😂
Kadri will probably get 2 games for this hit
