Buchnevich gets a hearing for the cross check. Even though Mantha was acting in a predatory fashion.
This whole ordeal makes me like the sport, and this league less.
Good to know you can punch someone while they’re laying face down on the ice, but defending yourself when someone tracks you around the ice is a no-no. When the play ended Mantha even turns back and goes towards Buchnevich to kick it all off.
