Alex Pietrangelo a frappé violemment Tyler Seguin au visage, peut-être en représailles pour un coup antérieur à la tête de Seguin sur Shea Theodore. Pietrangelo a initialement reçu une pénalité majeure pour coup de coude, mais après examen, elle a été réduite à une pénalité mineure. Est-ce la bonne décision ? Avoir votre mot à dire!

I think this was the right call. I don't think there's a stipulation about bleeding in a roughing call. They thought it was an elbow or a stick when they called the major
How is it 4 minutes if you draw blood on a high stick but not a punch lol? Especially since most high sticks are accidents and it’s pretty hard to accidentally punch someone.
How is this not a game misconduct? It was blatant, and I would get it if it was accidental, but this is intentional, obvious, and malicious. This is not a hockey play. I hope the league reviews it, otherwise I think it'd be pretty encouraging for other players to just sucker-punch random players they don't like, take a minor 2min penalty, and call it a day. Especially if you're losing badly – why not just sucker punch practically everybody on the team, and have no consequences?! Crazy this was just a minor penalty. Would love to hear what Tough-call youtube guy has to say about this, maybe I'm missing something obvious. 🙂
Considering how often players get 4 or 5 minutes for drawing blood on an accidental high stick, this needs to be 4 or 5 minutes for drawing blood on an intentional – and low class – sucker back-hand.
It's not a high sticking penalty where the bleeding would matter. But it should've been a double minor due the intent to injure. Ahhhhhh playoff hockey!! Go STARS!!
How is this not an embellishment penalty?
2 for roughing, 2 for embellishment
Chicken shit behaviour once again by Pietrangelo and NHL just accepts it.
Again, in the post-season it seems like different standard. Definitely a penalty, but 5 min major? Not so sure about that to be honest.
Are we watching soccer here???
