I do think the hit was boaderline, I also think the refs calling by the book on lomberg was pretty puzzling considering the events prior to. Also the Kassian on Tkachuk was worse and he didn't get a fighting major. Refs typically go out of their way to not call the instigator in that situation.
Hope Backs is okay. Holy hell is Smith playing better. Great job by the goalie coach working him back into form. Huge 2 points.
