I bet League views it more as a punch and the cross check on the ground is in the shoulder pad albeit unnecessary.Penalties given are the repercussions of the actions. I don’t understand the uproar on this one.
Nothing play. IMO

It's an example of a borderline hockey play that was jumped all over by the media resulting in a pretty crazy 4-game suspension that was appealed and held... and an example of an arguably more vicious play that has received zero attention and not even a hearing or fine or even an indication that the league even knows it happened.

The major factors for Ras was the time of the game, leaving his feet and main point of contact was the head.

To be clear, the only "repercussion" was a single 2-minute minor for cross-checking on that play.
The roughing penalty was for dropping his gloves against Oesterle (Oesterle also got one too).

I mean... let's see how the hockey world responds when we do that to McDavid on Sat. If it's a nothing play when it happens to Zary, it should be a nothing play when it happens to McDavid, right?.

Double life sentence in San Quentin Prison no chance of parole.
Crosscheck to the face and further crosscheck to a player lying on the ice.
Now that we know that is only a two minute penalty, it should be gameplanned early into the Battle of Alberta, televised nationally on Saturday as Hockey Day in Canada, against McDavid by one of the Flames third pairing defensemen.
The league is telling you what you can and cannot do.

Double standards, much?
