It was bad luck for Sylvester as he was having a good season and great game but there was no way that Versteeg deserved a penalty let alone a major.
The worst part was that you could see Stephenson not call anything until he saw that Sylvester was down and then increase the call to a major once he saw how bad the injury was.
Sylvester turned at the wrong time and went awkwardly into the boards, but I guess the WHL official felt the need to call something because if a guy is hurt there must have been a penalty.
Also, Hurricanes with another terrible game tonight. They are brutal without Boychuk and Bancks and not much better with them. It is amazing how bad they are playing with the talent that they have.
