Slewfoot requires the skates make contact. At absolute worst, the knees clip. Absolutely not a slewfoot, even on a technicality. And that's before nothing that the instant contact is made, Zibanejad takes avoiding action. Not sure who got you to post this as one, but you should get them fired. 😉
ETA: Watched it again and I give Palmieri an embellishment penalty. That's a 10/10 dive.
0:14 There's Mika kicking Palmieris right leg out WHILE using his arm to knock him over backwards. That is the definition of slew foot. Just because Palms is creating a little interference (something EVERY player does) doesn't make it OK to slew foot the guy. Textbook slew foot. If you watch Kyles left leg you'll see how close Mika came to blowing Kyles knee out. VISCIOUS! This move typically gets a clean player a game off because it's so dangerous.

Yeah, not a slewfoot. Awkward fall, but no penalty
Holding or Interference. It looks similar but Palms is thrown down awkwardly and looks kinda slewy. He fell bad…
palmieri dive
I'm just not seeing it at all. Rangers broadcast thought it was a high stick. I don't really think there's anything there watching these replays
Slew foot ???? Yeah …… nope
No slewfoot, looks like interference on Palmieri.
Did Stevie Wonder ask if a slew foot took place? Not even close.
Nope. Palmieri initiated contact. Not Mika’s style! Nice dive too.
Vicious
Fire the ref … he can’t see through his own eyes 👀
Z's foot never touched him so where is the slewfoot?
Go watch cricket this is not a "tough call" .
No, it's called Palmieri is a vagina.
Easy call, Z didnt even touch him. Palmieri got himself twisted up. Stuff happens
Awkward collision… just as the Mika Z. and Adam Pelech was in the 3rd.
Slew foot yes

Please islander fans read the comments cuz not even close.
No skew foot. Looks like Palm Mary got twisted around and fell. Wanna see slew footing? Look up Marchand and Subban.
