  1. Cirelli got a misconduct for punching while on the ice and the refs were trying to stop it. Xhekai was given a misconduct tonight for punching mcilrath 3 times in the back of the head while the refs were trying to break a fight up. Bottom line, if you keep fighting when the refs stepped in, you are getting a 10

  2. A five major without a GM or 10 is not news. The fact that Clifton did not get five for the fight puzzled me. I checked the score sheet and it turns out Clifton did get five major for boarding and another five for fighting.

  3. As a neutral fan, they botched the entire call here. I can accept the boarding not having a missconduct attached, but imo it should have; he had the numbers lined up for a long time before deciding to follow through with the boarding. I hope he got 5 min for fighting as well. Instigating is questionable, cause itโ€™s a response to a massive hit that was called for a penalty, usually there isnโ€™t instigating for that but whatever. Where does Cirelliโ€™s misconduct even come from, thin air?
