conversely, last night in the pens/flyers game, Malkin got a 4 min major for an inadvertent high stick, with the butt of his stick. he was going after the puck on the boards, looking down at the ice and his feet, and he pulled his stick up to re set for the puck, and a flyer player came in from the back side and took the butt of his stick in the eye, under the visor.
malkin never even looked at him, i don't know that he even knew he hit the guy.
ended the 2nd period on a 4 min power play, that carried over in to the 3rd.
we were up 4-0, so it wasn't the end of the world, but i thought the call was crap.
the refs have a tough job in Hockey, and i think for the most part, they do a good job.
but when they miss one, it's usually a biggie....so it stands out.
