How is it even a penalty, he just had the puck! It's a clean beautiful hit. Where are these officials from?
Obviously no idea if Yale would have come back, but that's a call you just can't make. You have to be absolutely sure on calls like that. Sadly, that's never the case at this level.
And I admit, until I saw the replay I did think it was PROBABLY the right call. The refs don't have that advantage on calls like that.
Glad there's someone who saw it in real time and thought it was a good call. I thought it was a good hit but when I saw Hendrickson grab his face I started to wonder if it was a contact to the head.
And as a ref, you do have to make an immediate call on the ice. You just hope it's the right one. I think if I were in that position, I would've said 2 minutes, but as you said, when Hendrickson grabbed his face......
I hope Hendrickson wasn't trying to sell it and legitimately was grabbing his face because he was hurt.
