Went to bed at 3-0 Knights in the third thinking at least it would be nice to have VGK knock out SJ.
Just watched the replay. That was completely the wrong call. It was a crosscheck and nothing more. Pavelski went down awkwardly after bumping into Statsny who shoves him out of the way. I don't think Statsny had any intent other than to push the body of the player coming at him out of the way. It was an unfortunate accident. Eakins could've shoved him instead of crosschecking and the results would've been the same.
Garbage way to lose a game/series. Hope Pavelski is ok.
