Pretty sure cross checking a dude in the loving head is a far more serious issue. If the criteria for a match penalty is intent to injure, why does that not qualify as well?

I don't think anyone is saying Simmonds is blameless but kicking him out for intent to injure when what McD did was far more dangerous is all sorts of bullshit.

They got tangled up and McDonagh got his stick up, Simmonds slashed him, then threw a punch that knocked him out right before being grabbed by another player.

McD crosschecked him in the head and Wayne dropped him with a sucker punch after the whistle and sent him to the locker room.

Is there a replay because neither the crosscheck nor the punch looked all that bad to me :confused:

It should have been two minors at most but Simmonds threw a punch after the whistle so of course the refs are going to stick it to him. They were both wrong but it could have been settled on the ice. McDonagh spent the rest of the period in the locker room so if your first reaction is "what a dive" you are dumb and bad.

Not a match penalty tho as much as I hate Simmonds.

You'd have the high ground if McD didn't throw the crosscheck to the head. As it stands, McD did a dumb thing and Simmonds did an even more dumb thing.

I make no claim to have the high-ground, it's absolutely my fanboy opinion.

I'm ok with this.
You're all turds. Anything forceful to the head is bad. Stop trying to one up each other in severity. Both McD and Simmonds are turds for that reason.

Seriously, enough. It's done.
