Not a fan of either team, wish all 4 teams would lose and no Stanley cup awarded… BUT, poetic justice for this one. Wheeler known to be a "stick foul" kinda guy, gets called in OT (amazed)…
And to top it off, FLA wins on the PP, and where was Trouba? Up near the blue line, pretending to be a forward.
Considering some of the other stuff going on, that was very tame. Not sure if he even made contact. In the right situation, I might give a 10 for that, but that's probably it.
Hard to tell from that angle if he even makes contact, looks to be more of a reaction from Bobrovsky than anything else. On this angle I don't see the contact, the mask didn't even move, typically you can see the mask shake a bit if it get's hit but again…angles.
I could see Wheeler MAYBE thinking the puck was still up high … Bobrovsky's neck protector is black .. with Wheeler checking his stick last minute. If the ref's called Wheeler for 2 minutes , I would just say you have to be more careful with your stick. The contact with Bobrovsky did seem to be VERY (very) light so really no harm done overall.

Looks like a flinch to me, no penalty no foul though

2 minutes for embellishment. this isn't soccer.
Wheeler should have gotten 2. Oh wait he did. He was sitting in the penalty box while the Panthers won the game🤓
Looks like he deliberately tapped the goalie with his stick. Bobrovsky made it look like decapitation.
