In fairness, the initial roughing call itself was also bullshit.

I'm torn, honestly- I saw the MSU player being thrown down- so thought it could be called, but the ref was a lot closer, so he didn't see that. But had to call it with the embellishment.

But that was a pretty short OT.

The guy just collapsed to the ice. Like a soccer player. Pretty blatant move there.

If that’s a dive they’ve got to call it a lot more often.

Edit: Hold on, what did they call it on? When he was thrown down, or when he got a little shove?

If it was the latter it would make a bit more sense, even though to my eye it just looked like he was pushed down at the end of a play.

The ref did not have his hand up on the initial play into the boards, where I think the roughing call could be most justified. I feel at that point, neither penalty should have been called.

He just fell down like a limp doll. Or more like any futbol player in a similar situation. That was clearly a dive to get the attention of the ref who didn't call the original roughing even though he was staring at them. I haven't see someone fall like they had a stroke very often in a game.

Based on that, he called the dive first, and had to make it up with a lame roughing call.

This is hockey, not futbol, Don't collapse as if you have no bones.
