Catching up but I feel bad for Kuzmenko on that second penalty.
It happens because he's actually trying to play hard to make a play to make sure he doesn't turn that puck over when his stick breaks and just didn't think for that split second.
Easy to jump all over him for that but honestly kind of harsh by the ref considering he never actually tried to play it with the stick. I've seen a guys stick break and him try to kick the puck before dropping the stick fully and it's not called.
