Had he fired off the puck and then braced into the boards like you're supposed to do when someone is bearing down on you, it wouldn't have been a problem.

Maybe Watson was expecting that; it seems reasonable. Whatever the case, the interesting point for me is to what degree the injured player is responsible and how that is factored in to how the play is called.
I agree with this except for the part that the player didnt break stride which is pretty much boarding.
