Look, its empty-net, end of the game, clock winding down...what Garland did was smart. Tie him up.
Oh...was it epic ####housery? Absolutely! And...he did a decent job of selling it as 'oh we're just tangled up' that probably, maybe, might have warranted a couple minutes, but theres only seconds on the clock.
Until McSerenity over there absolutely lumberjacks him in the face!
I put up with a lot of BS in hockey and for the most part I've made piece with that, but there are some things I simply will not abide, and the biggest one is: Weapons.
Whether thats the use of skates (looking at you Kassian) or, especially, sticks.
If you deliberately hit someone with your stick? Tie 'em up at centre ice and give 'em the Johnny Rico treatment.
