Are you F K M !!!!!!!! Getzlaf should be suspended for the remainder of the season. Brutal, savage and vicious hits like these have no room in the new NHL……Faulk must be such a strong player for getting up so quickly after such a violent cross check……
It’s amazing how a new league initiative comes down and the Refs always seem to be so confused by it. Tip: it’s not a QUOTA you have to fill — just call guys who cross check to break people. 🙄🙄
I fully expected to watch this and think “well obviously Getzlaf made a dirty play” but even I have to say that was weak. I bet there were 10 worse cross-checks in this game alone. These refs are awful
So you can't cross check a player who has a puck now, but you can cross check the opposing player in front of the net who doesn't have the puck with no call…. Talk about a BUSH LEAGUE
I thought that cross-checking was legal in the NHL. Usually, it goes like this: Cross-check, three heavy ones, prepares to keep going. Cross-checked player spears the cross-checking player. Whistle, minor penalty for spearing. I'm pretty sure that Faulk did not have full balance when he fell.

Sofa king 😔
I thought the cross checks they were trying to get rid of were guys breaking sticks over opponents backs, not light pushes like this.
Wtf

As a Ducks fan! These types of calls always go against us! We are use to it
League has become a joke
Absolutely vicious
Getz is a badass..
These refs are saving lives. What a joke!!
What are they trying to change this league into… Garbage…
Hockey is slowly turning into a non-contact over-officiated women's sport like soccer
I’m not gonna say it’s not a cross checking but cmon this is weak for a penalty
Faulk is such a crybaby…
Ok… this is.. well.. wtf is this?
That was the softest cross-checked I have seen. How many of those hits do I see every game and they aren't called.
Cheap shot by Getzlaf…so unsportsmanlike!
I hate these new crosschecking rules. Does Bettmen know that hockey’s a contact sport?

That was a weak call. I saw "Getzlaf" and "crosscheck" in the same sentence and expected a heavy dirty crosscheck. That was a love tap lol.
Correct call by the rulebook but you've gotta be disappointed you didn't put more into in you're Getzlaf
What kindve pussy ass call is that lol
Blues fan here, that should have been an embellishment penalty

that hit wouldn't break a poppadom
Is Faulk OK?!
Man NHL and NFL is nothing but shit penalties deciding games. Players are too fast and strong and this is the consequence… sad
