We see that happen to our guys all the time with no call. Ennis does it and gets 5 minutes. - HonkFortheGoose
That was really bad, if he didn't extend his arms, ok, maybe a minor or no call, but after the Maata hit, and how hard he pushed it's an easy call to make. I'm kind of surprised he didn't get tossed honestly.
I'm not saying it's not a penalty, because it totally is. But I watch a lot of games and plays like that go uncalled all the time.
Just look back to the game that McDavid scores his first goal. He should have been penalized for an even worse hit on Oduya, but it wasn't called. - HonkFortheGoose
I didn't see the McDavid thing, was Oduya that far away from the boards though?

I don't remember the exact circumstances of the McDavid play, but the official happened to be right on top of the hit by Ennis.

This was just as bad, if not worse, IMO. No penalty.

There was a ref like 3 feet away from McDavid too. It was a blatant no call. Like I said, Ennis deserved the penalty. I just hate that the refs don't even get this call right most of the time.
