Can those of you who believe this is normal in the NHL (it’s not) please link to videos of similar plays? I will change my mind if presented with evidence that it occurs frequently.

It's a standard play in that a player roughed up another player after a hit or altercation. You just have to look at Neal last game(or the game before, can't remember.) when he had the guy down and was pushing on his head with his stick...hard. Or any time a guy takes a roughing minor from punching a guy in the head after a hit or a cross check during a scrum in front of the net.
These things are all just minor penalties for roughing, and happen pretty much every game. They just don't all get called like the Matheson hit. And they happen alot to rookies.
