It’s called boarding has nothing to do with his head hitting the glass or where his body makes contact with the player. The fact that the players back was the point of contact is in fact the penalty. Not the contact to the head. Two very different rules. Same outcome.
That is definitely charging. You can see Verhaeghe jumping up a little bit without really leaving his feet, and then actually does leave his feet for a moment.
And no call. Im not one that ever calls for fixing in any sport, but the refs have been bought and paid for by the panthers. Had this been an edmonton infraction, it would have been penalized. Most of edmontons penalties in this series have been non-intentional technical infractions, just silly.
Reffing is abysmal once again in thi final. Embellishments drawing calls left and right, real foul plays like this getting ignored. It's such a bad look for the game. Destroys a lot of the fun. The fans deserve better.
How in the WORLD is that not even 2 minutes?? Right in the numbers AND he left the ice. That's a game misconduct and a suspension if it's the Oilers making that hit. Disgusting.
Should have been a penalty but he's wearing a panthers jersey so the refs will let it slide. After all, Campbell's son works for the team; the Panthers have been given the green light to commit penalties for 8 straight series.
Everyone is acting so surprised that the refs and league are favoring Florida. Nobody cares about hockey in Florida, so they are trying to win championships to gain popularity from a financial business standpoint. canadian franchises will always be full. For f sakes look at the favortism vgk and Florida got in the last 4 years. It's corrupt get used to it canadian franchises always get raked over by officiating this is nothing new bettman is crying somewhere knowing it's 2–2 u watch games 5 to 7 are gonna be brutally heavy favortism towards Florida more than already

The refs are just on USAs side cause the nhl wants the cup to stay in USA since it’s not a popular sport in USA
No Call

Whiplash could be severe neck injury
Embellishment
If it happened to Cantchuk, Panthers fans would explode
That was a clean hit. Bouchard looks towards Verhaeghe as he’s getting hit, which single-handily makes that a good no-call.
It was even. Boarding, for embellishment. No call.
ONE SIDED OFFICIATING MUST STOP,,THIS IS VERY OBVIOUS ,,HIGH STICK ON STETCHER AND CHARGING ON BOUCHARD,, REFS ON THIS GAME 4 MUST SUSPENDED
If Evander Kane throws that hit its 5 and a game with a 3 game suspension

Left his feet though.
We had a high stick before a panther goal and even the Panthers own announcers were concerned why it wasn't called.
NHL ! Referee s take a blind eye to Florida, but, all over Edmonton if retaliate
The numbers he hit the numbers it's a penalty and he left the ice should practice this on refs and betman see if it's a penalty
These not it

Multiple missed calls that game. Gary really doesnt want canada to have a cup.

Same old same old…a Florida player did that…they get exempted on illegal hits that are obvious penalties for ANY other team…ask Bettman
Panthers always need the refs to bail them out. It’s no surprise at this point. Even people who aren’t oilers fans can see that. Panthers are pathetic
Embellishment.
And I don't get why like I think that if it's an Oilers player it's a penalty. Just call this as a major penalty and review this play
Boarding used to be a penalty in the NHL. I’ve been away from watching for a while. Is it not called anymore?
Clean check!!!! What an actor!!!! The Baby Oilers have definitely greased up the refs bootys!!!!
Boarding
Oilers fans are always so whiny. Typical having McBaby as their captain.
