Shocking it's only 4 minutes and not 5 and a game like it would be if it was against the makemelaughs. No suspension incoming either…the league is a joke.
Look at the replay. Schmidt had no eyes for puck or play at all. He just wanted to get in the way of Willy. Willy is to be held accountable for the end result, but boy or boy, any hockey player knows what it's like when an opponent just wants to get in your way despite the game. Schmidt earned this hit to the face
No wonder Nylander is scoring so much. Knock the guy out and your wide open for a pass. How that's not a match penalty, I don't know. It's the same to me as the Meier penalty.
What the hell was William thinking ? It is not like him to be doing anything so stupid as that. He should have been given a game Misconduct and suspension. Leaf Fan,Wayne
At a guess… he saw the other guy's stick coming up and put his up as well. Avoidable for sure and a bad decision. Surprised it wasn't a major. It doesn't look like he actually thrust forward and pushed through the other guy, but I could see him getting a game.
Man, the number of excuses from Toronto fans. I guess thats the attitude when you have guys like Steve Dangle and others telling Leaf fans that they are victims and treated differently by the league. Looking forward to spring and the annual 1st round exit from the Toronto Victims

Willie is tough as nails
That's no double minor. That's a major
Major penalty and game misconduct: A player is assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for recklessly endangering an opponent with a cross-check.
He’s a Leaf…um. So. 3 games. (Even though the recent comparable is 1 game to Timo Meier.)
William, wtf are you doing 😳
This should be a 3 games suspension…. deliberate attempt to injure

How was that not reviewed for a major penalty.?
He wouldn't have eaten that stick if he was facing the play like a normal human
Florida pussy should get 2 min for diving, both had sticks up in the air about time nylander got physical lol 🙂 🙂
I don’t trust that guy! He’s like that creepy kid at school.
Literally worse than what Meier did but it’s called a high stick. Brutal.
Timo Mier gets a 1 game suspension for the same thing. I guess it's because Mier can hit harder than "Willie" 🤣
Announcer never saw a thing, foolish
why would you do that there….wtf?
If Parros reviews he will get 60 games.
Florida fans crying because of a cheap shot makes me laugh. The Panthers do it every night.

meh happened against the Panthers chalk it up to Karma lol
They really wanna fuck the leafs over this year even tho they are the best team.

how is that only a double minor?
Schmidt cross checks nylander at the same time and gets his arms. Causing the sitck to go into his face instead of chest…
Toronto wil not win the Cup this year guaranteed.
Fire Shanahan , the guy has ruined the team.

His next check will be a little shorter as well.
Despite the stick riding up and being unintentional, the crest on William’s sweater will likely bring disproportionate discipline as per usual.
That snuffed out any chance of a comeback.
It's amazing that these plays happen without any context whatsoever.
Your Mom's a whore! what are you going to do about it?
No but he must have said something.
He has the drop the gloves for that
High sticking? What?
Leafs already down 8 forwards. Hopw there's no suspension.
Not a violent person or judgmental in anyway but Willie has a face on a mother wouldn’t want to punch
crosscheck to the face? should been tossed

Well done. Next time get Bennett
Two games
Shitty Maple leafs, Bennet will make him pay for that at another time.
