I think that's a bit of a exageration, the boot to the chest easily could have the other not so much.
As for giving out yellows to maintain control, biggest bunch of BS ever. I've never seen a sport be it hockey, soccer, football where giving out cards/penalties like candy helps maintain control of the game, the only thing it does is frustrate the players and make them more emotional. Almost every time things spiral out of control.\\
Do you seriously think that game was dirty enough to necessitate 12 yellow cards? Freaking ridiculous.
