Thank god I wasn't around during the game. Holy crap, you guys would think a mistake is never made by a player. You know I am as honest as they come but also realize mistakes and poor play happen. Until 13 seconds were left, almost the whole blog was really to get rid of 80% of the team. Chill, take it down a notch or 10. Go crazy after the game is over when the result is known.
On the Simmonds play. no question McDonagh cross-checked him and Simmonds slashed back. If it ends there, it's 2 each but it also stemmed from action between McDonagh and Simmonds earlier and possibly going back to Kreider-Simmonds in the period. Simmonds hitting him with the gloved hand warrants a penalty, though not a match penalty, unless the refs viewed the punch with the glove on as intent to injure. Also, it's very likely with McDonagh down and hurt, it influenced calling the match penalty. Simmonds breaking and throwing the stick won't help his case with the league.
Plus, never ever root for injuries. It's classless in general.

Love the Rangers announcers. "You see the stick come up to protect himself". Uh it was a cross check high to his head. This video conveniently didn't include the best angle where you blatantly see how bad it was.
