That’s exactly what I saw
And about not being Tanev’s responsibility, you are absolutely pretty much a zillion percent wrong. Maybe you have snoozed through the past decade or so, but there has been a lot of talk around the hitter recognizing when another player is vulnerable. A lot of the time it has to do with head shots, but it is the exact same thing. If a guy is vulnerable, and you fail to recognize it or just don’t let up, you may have a penalty coming
If you think Tanev decided to hit a guy 15 feet away and was incapable of making a last minute decision to pull up, that’s wrong too.
Sometimes people make bad decisions and then as a result #### happens. And they get a penalty
It all makes perfect sense. And even if you don’t like it, the ref called it. It’s boarding

We disagree. That's cool.
You being snarky about it, that isn't.
