Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3012819, member: 652"] I think McAvoy got properly called for a penalty an illegal check to the head. It can’t be a major penalty by the rule. It can only be a game misconduct if the ref believed McAvoy deliberately was trying to take out Anderson. That wasn’t a clear deliberate elbow to the head thus it was properly called. McAvoy clearly was guilty of the illegal hit but he wasn’t trying to take Anderson out it was a mistake and he got the penalty he deserved. Columbus got all of the rest of the breaks in this game from the refs. Boston was able to outgrind the Jackets this series. The NHL didn’t want a Columbus-Carolina ECF. Boston gives them atleast one original 6 team in the final 4 for fans to root against. [/QUOTE]
