You should've seen the stuff that got 0 minutes in that game.

Not necessarily offensive zone penalties
He has had some borderline hits but nothing this bad, I wouldn't say he is dirty but this hit obviously was. Probably one of the worst hits of the season if we are being honest.
Sam better hope his team pulls it off without him or the legend of playoff Sam Bennett could be ending soon. Game two is basically their season IMO

Did he throw a tantrum after the goal got waved off or something? He didn't push Vasilevskiy into the net, he pushed him laterally about 6 inches. The right call was made, but if the call on the ice was a goal, I'm not 100% sure it gets overturned. He didn't do anything ridiculous.
Yes, it was a bad hit, just like the several others that also earned suspensions (and several more that should have, but didn't). I doubt it's in the top 3 this year, though (though I can't recall any of the top of my head).
