Horvat boarding on Middleton – Tough Call Recommendation
Bo Horvat pushed Jake Middleton in the back into the boards. I know he didn’t mean it. I believe he was genuinely concerned for Middleton’s well being. But a shove is shove.
I hate how un-serious the league is about boarding. There is such a high degree of risk on these plays that there needs to be strict punishment even for light pushes because of the disproportionate level of injury that can occur.
I think that a five-minute major would suffice. I think suspension is a bit much; especially, 3 games. If a player has a history, then I could see considering suspension. I hope Jake is alright. I was upset when SJ shipped him out.

should be 5 min major, i don think it's super intentional but still a penalty
Board Horvat.
