Not sure I agree. yes Simmonds deserves a penalty for getting the stick around the mid section but there is a blatant hold and dive by the Devil's player. Ref has a bad view of the play with the Devil's player's back to him. That's how the Devs announcers saw it too. Classic Danny B move BTW.

If Simmonds doesn't put his stick there, there would be no penalty. Simmonds deserves the call for getting his stick up high on the player. There is no opportunity for any kind of embellishment, if Simmonds doesn't get his stick in that position.

Hartnell gets credit for the 2nd goal. My fantasy teams are happy.

Then again. I think he fell because he was trying to move the opposite way and he had Simmonds' stick up in his face with Simmonds going the opposite way. That way his legs were moving towards the puck, but Simmonds' stick was pulling his torso the other way.

I agree. The correct call is a penalty to both or no call at all.
