it looked like after Pachal checks him, Smith's crosscheck slides from his shoulderpad to his neck which ticked Pachal off in the first place. Both guys should get 2mins and that's that but I guess the league is getting soft
Clown on Vegas slashes Smith 3-4 times then tries to stare him down and acts surprised when he gets a glove in the face…..who is this goof? Was this his first time playing hockey?
Unfortunately black people have different standards in hockey. I say this as a black hockey player. We get more physical abuse and the refs do not call a lot of penalties they should. I don't want to say consciously racist but there definitely prejudices towards minorities in the game. Look at what evander Kane went through. Subconsciously many people have a issue with minorities being in hockey. Is what it is. I don't make the rules I'm just a messenger. Some would say it's our fault for playing this game. It's an injustice that we should expect and already be used to. I used to be called the "N" word all the time when I was growing up playing. Now it's not as obvious but the prejudice is still present from how the opponent plays you to the refs unfair treatment. It really does affect you and discourage you sometimes but the game is so much fun I think we re able to see the better half of the catch 22. Atleast I definitely do. God bless everyone. Trust the process. #realitycheck
Smith didn't get "ejected" he received a 10 minute misconduct. Considering there was less than 10 minutes remaining in the game, he was done for the night. If he was truly ejected, it would have been filed as a game misconduct. Just looking at the video, Pachal should have received a misconduct as well.
They ejected smith cause he is black. Hockey is white dominated and still racist to this day . look at coaches , gm, all tje way down to equipment managers, all white

Weak call. Pachal asked for it

Double ejection or none, were they worried smith was gonna destroy him or something?
You've got to be kidding me….
This is hockey right???
Way overkill
Givani Smith, Florida Panthers legend.
soft!
I wouldn’t eject smith if he had dropped his gloves and beat the guy’s eyes shut with no return fire.
As far as I’m concerned, if someone comes at you like that the fight has already begun.

Why is Smith the one getting ejected for this>? The NHL has officially gone soft.
Is this Hockey or is this women's soccer?
Zebras can’t even get preseason right…
This is racism 101
What did Evander Kane say?
"Sometimes when you fuck around you're gonna find out"
Jesus Christ hockey is getting soft af

That's a horseshit call. Double minor for both or maybe extra 2 for smith if you wanna be biased. Boot that ref, lol
Pachal was asking for it
I see matching minors. ?
Wtf, why?
Soft refs
Smith waited until he saw the linesman coming to do a thing, maybe he was scared
Smith was kinda tough for Detroit. But thats about it. He didnt do much.
racist
The cross check to the face to Pachal from Smith after the legal hit by Pachal to start the play should be reviewed. No wonder Pachal was pissed.
I see no problem with what he did…

10 for being black. What a joke
pachal the chihuahua goes after a pitbull
Pachal should have been tossed too. Smith put up with a lot before he reacted
No idea who these people are but def not a game misconduct lmfao
Has this dude ever even scored a goal? Ive seen several highlights of him, not a single one has involved a hockey play 🤣🤣
Sharks win 2-0 against an AHL pipeline and are still bitching?
Atta boy Givani
Way overkill
Pachal is a 🐈 😂
