Again, it was the right call by the book.
There was a crosscheck and an injury. That's an automatic major. The rule does not specify that the injury has to be caused by the stick.
Sure you can argue something about the spirit of the rule if you like, but people calling it a bogus call are reeaaally stretching their argument.
Sometimes I feel like people just assume every call has to be wrong if they don't immediately get it, and the hyperbole is tiresome honestly. Yes NHL reffing sucks, but that call is not en example of it sucking.
It's also annoying that it's become all people talk about, when it was a great game with a great ending.
