He was obviously frustrated and wether he knew it was a linesman or not put an extra effort into a incidental collision. That's going to get you scrutiny. The other shown video with the Canucks player is at high speed and although somewhat similar cannot be closely compared to this play which in much slower speeds on the ice give a lot of room for ways to avoid such a collision.

you lose all credibility here
Funny it was basically a non issue 2 minutes after it happened with Wideman and the linesman sharing a laugh. They didn't even bring it up in the intermission until Francis decided to get his name out there. After the game hockey guys like Sutter and Button said reactionary he didn't mean to ect. Maybe a game or two MAYBE.
Next day after social media has gone ape#### based on a super slow-mo of one angle its "He must be suspended for a long time!"
The general consensus on facebook is that he was furious there was not call on the play and lost it on the REF. Why is NOBODY showing the other angle? I'll tell you why, CLICK BAIT!
