Yep, absolutely.
I agree live it looks aggressive. If anything it's a credit to that referee that he saw it properly.
And that Chimera call was ridiculous. Looked like a picture perfect defensive play, even live. Very similar to Wideman on McDavid to start the season. I think in both plays the referee made their call based on the defensive player reaching with his stick in the general vicinity of the opponent, and that player not getting a clean shot off. Though in Hunwick's case it was because of a great defensive play, and in McDavid's it was an Elliott pokecheck.
