THEY REDUCED IT TO A FUCKING MINOR? He literally had to consciously stick his hands out to sucker punch him. Fucking took Raanta out of the game.
Don Sweeney drafting Trent Frederic when Debrincat was available was every bit as egregious as Senyshyn over Barzal
I mean if Pasta sticks his hands out right as he’s passing Raanta’s head, he’s either trying to punch him or…stop his forward momentum by anchoring his mits to the front of Raanta’s cage? You can’t argue that’s a natural motion even a little bit.
He was trying to keep himself up and grabbed onto Raanta, which was idiotic and deserved a minor penalty.
Reckless and dangerous plat that took him out of the game. As textbook of a major as I can come up with.
Thankfully Boston seems concerned with cosplaying as Mr Splinter (rats doing martial arts) instead of playing hockey
