I can't remember who posted it in the Van-SJ series thread, but I think that hit should be called a boarding penalty in almost all situations. The one time I don't think it should be called is in overtime of an elimination game.
12 minutes into the first in game 36 of the regular season? Hell yes, that's boarding. Overtime in an elimination playoff game? Let 'em play.
Still, Vancouver is a bunch of wankers so screw 'em.
