If a breakaway was a dangerous play than 99.9999% of them wouldn't end without injury - not what I'm saying at all.
I don't think Kreider had any intent to injury, but I think if you high stick someone in the face accidentally you get a penalty and this is no different.
Kreider charged the net in a space where he couldn't possible stop without either, a) nailing the goalie or b) flying past the net and crashing into the boards. I understand why he did it in desperation to get a goal, but it was reckless and probably ruined the series, should have at least got a minor.
