Re: UNH Hockey: Treading Water or Trending Upward
I didn't see the game in person, but based on the TV broadcast, it seemed like the Verrier/Boguslasky tussle after the cross-check to Chabot was pretty even-sided. Boguslavsky skates at Verrier in defense of his teammate and grabs him tugging on his jersey under the neck, and Verrier responds with a glove to Boguslavsky's cage. The camera cuts away at that point, but I would think that at that point the refs are not going to call any of that - it's pretty standard post-whistle tussling. Now if Boguslavsky started throwing real punches (versus tugging on the jersey and pushing at him as is often done) and Verrier did not, then yes, that should be called.
FWIW - I didn't think the initial penalty deserved a major. It was a pretty standard cross-check minor except that it was into the goal post. Yes, that is more dangerous, but it wasn't like Chabot was injured.
