K’Andre Miller butt end punch should be more than a routine minor – Tough Call Review
K’Andre Miller was given a two minute minor penalty for roughing for this punch to the face while holding the butt end of the stick. I’m sure it was accidental, but that doesn’t make it any less dangerous.
I don't think all these grades of penalties would be necessary if the officials would actually call penalties. So many of the more egregious offenses are because of retaliation.
This is a mild way of using the stick just to make the glove heavier. Some rats hold the top of the stick slightly outside the glove. It should be a special hockey rule concerning of using the stick as weapon.

I don't like the double minor for drawing blood. If players don't want to wear face protection, that's on them.
He learned it from Bennett on the Rat from prior series.
