On the night I thought it was a straight up boarding call but watched it from block 9.
After watching the highlights, I think it was more unlucky as the panthers player seemed to turn and stop to play the puck (couldn’t see that from my angle on Sunday).
Camera angle would have been the ref view.
Don’t really have a massive issue with it being a boarding call tbf, but not anywhere near as bad as I first thought.
But the fight that happened straight after was instigated by Kesell. He skated after Chad, tapping him with his stick who was skating away.
As much as I hate the instigator penalty, if it’s in the rule book, surely that was an easy call to make.
