Another great example of reffing incompetence and inconsistency.This is a classic example of boarding. It could easily have been called charging otherwise as Reeves leaves his feet to follow thru at DeMelo. Its unbelievable that 1 of the same referrees (Hebert) ,officiated in the Flames vs jets game on the 5th. In that game Dubois was called for boarding on Andersson. Andersson was a whopping 11 or more feet from the boards! Or above the icing line.What a vast difference in these 2 examples.

I agree. No excuse for that dangerous hit.
dangerous
5 minute major and a suspension. The upwards motion on boarding is completely unnecessary. Can't believe they missed that
Fucking greasy! Jumped into it and everything
Great analysis. The refs seem to judge the outcome, not the intent. If DeMelo was laid out like Ehlers then there would be a penalty.
4 out of 5 Troubas in addition to boarding.
Reaves was just trying to get away from the hook from Morrissey
