Simmonds goes in and is about to lay a body check on McDonagh, but McDonagh get his stick up and X-checks Simmonds in the head. Then Simmonds throws a punch with his glove on and McDonagh goes down like a sack of potatoes. Simmonds gets a match penalty for that and McDonagh gets 2 for high sticking and 2 for slashing.
The match penalty was a joke IMO. Should have been 2 for roughing. McDonaghs high stick should be looked at.
