Check the above post, if it's boarding and there's an injury to the head it's automatic, no interpretation.

It's only a game misconduct if the refs decided it was a major penalty.

Which is probably wasn't. But Chris Lee saw blood and panicked.

What injury though, the guy played on the 5min PP

He was cut above the eye

They explained it on sportsnet if how they were instructed, if it's boarding and there's a head injury it's a major and a game miscondict.

We all hate Chris Lee but this time he only called what refs were instructed to call

i think you're misreading that. the part you highlighted specifically referred to major penalties. a major resulting in an injury is an auto game misconduct.

based on what you posted, the referee still has the discretion to call a minor penalty if an injury results.

fair enough, if that's how the refs have been instructed by the league to apply it: boarding + blood = 5 and a game. but that's not what the rules say.

Exactly.

It's supposed to be the Ref's call. If the instruction is different than the rule, change the (frank)ing rule.

this is technically true, but instructions given to the refs apparently are if there's a head injury it's a major penalty de facto

forces them to open up the play, they had alot of scoring chances but I'll take Price over Hart in a wide open game anytime.

Was pretty funny.

Should have been unsportsmanlike conduct but.

Pretty funny.

Edit: I'm also surprised the Flyers let it slide.

speaking of which, in KK' case was it automatically given with the major? or is it because he said something afterwards? because hitting a guy and having a disrespectful attitude are 2 different things imo..
