Bortuzzo gets called for probably the worst call I have ever seen a NHL referee hand out in my years of watching hockey. Instead of running over the goalie or doing a flyby, he stops and the goalie gets some snow on him because thats what happen when you stop….but have no fear, the refs are here to cup the balls of the Minnesota Wild!
The NHL truly is a garage league sport and is getting softer by the day. These idiotic used car salesmen officials need to move to the pressbox already and go back to one ref.

I couldn't believe this shit when they called it. Not only was it one of the least egregious snow showers I've ever seen–the bulk of it didn't even hit Dubnyk. Just making a call to make a call. Really, really stupid.
The refs probably would have rather he just ran the goalie since hey obviously didn't want him to stop.
It's the right call to make. These guys are pros, he knew what do to to avoid the snow in the face.
I see both sides of this, Yes he didn't snow him, but he clearly had enough space to turn and skate away…
It is what it is and you can't change it.
That's a reputation call
