Unfortunate injury to Zucker...Rozival gets tossed...looking at the play, Zucker made a play for the puck, but missed...Rozival had stepped up to check him...Zucker ran into Rozival's shoulder, and bounced off, fell backward, and whiplashed his head onto the ice. Rozival got a 5 and game for interference...I really think that the call was excessive, as it was shoulder to chest, AND Zucker had made a play at the puck.

Hopefully Zucker will be ok...and I expect no further sanction on Rozi, as Zucker, basically ran into an immovable object, and the ice is what caused the injury, when he bounced off.

I must say, though, that immovable is the operating adjective for Rozival...the guy is a pylon. And, really needs to have retired last season. IMO, the 'Hawks D is better off with him out of the game.
