  1. How many more times are we going to see similar incidents before the NHL finally does something about it? Clearly pushed in the back at a dangerous distance from the boards. This is right up there with slew-footing

  2. Not much of a shove really he folded crazy fast.if he turns right and follows through the puck theres no akward left turn topple. Hes gotta anticipate contact penalty aside

  3. I kinda like that the Wild didn’t go after him. It’s obvious based on his reaction it was a complete accident and he felt bad about it. It was just something done at the wrong time in the wrong spot, you don’t need to wail on him for it. It’s rare, but this time showing restraint is the right thing to do.

  4. What a dive…-..holy crap!. Not even a cross check or anything more than a light push and he acts like a missile being launched. Glad it was only two minutes, because that wasn't much. Minor at most.

  5. Thats pretty close situation there, looks like he was just off balance a bit because he just wanted to get the puck up quick and was not as sturdy being not close to the boards, the game is quick

  6. Thats a major.
    He felt bad after he did it, but he knew what was going to happen when he did it.
    $100k fine
