Ekman-Larsson interference on Rodrigues – Tough Call Review



Oliver Ekman-Larsson was a touch (or two) early on this otherwise routine body check. They called it a major for review but then correctly reduced it to a two minute minor.

  1. Id argue that embellishment as well. It hit the chest but rodreguez was holding his head, was down for like 2 minutes skated off and was right back out (Edit: he was not right back out i misheard an announcer say he was back on the bench). Clearly embellishment which he has a track history of

  2. As a Panthers fan, Rodriguez could have been called for embellishment on that play. I wish the the refs had called it. He laid on the ice like someone shot him. Embarrassing when hockey players do that stuff like soccer players.

  3. OEL had a right to that ice too, a good player would have embraced the
    Comtact and made a play for body position.
    Rodriguez didnt ,fine, 2 min minor is the right call.

  4. Bullshit call, panther player should watch where hes going ,its so obvious the panthers are getting help from the refs.

  5. The reason this is a 5 minute major is because if this is only 2 minutes, than I would just keep hitting marner, Mathew’s, and nylabder like this. You need to think about why 5 minute majors are called

  6. Mannn if this was the other way and someone hit marner or nylander like this leaf fans would be burning down George parros house

  7. I'm guessing the only reason he didn't come back was concussion protocol after his little performance.

    Rodrigues has a long history of embellishment so I can't give him benefit of doubt here.
