A fine example of how the NHL using blood to constitute the threshold of penalty on a high stick is a joke. This was a completwly incidental contact pkay that they turn jnto a game-altwring situation because Kuch could flop like a trout and sell with his cut.

Cannot call these things late in a playoff game and especially when no scoring chance was taken away.

Blood is an auto dbl minor but you can break a jaw and its 2 minutes or board a guy and scrambles his eggs and its 2

This was incidental

The blood "standard" is total BS.

Let's not forget pulock turned back into 86 amd didnt get it out

15 of 16 on the PK or something?
Kill. Momentum. Goal.
Do it.

It looked like it grazed him. Not a hard shot that would draw significant blood. More like a scratch that might barely break the skin. I can't believe they gave that 4 minutes.

Probably a cut he got from Beau’s high stick reopened.

I hate that cacksucker!

Yup, this is the perfect example.

Pulock was playing well before that play.

Yeah, 7 pointed that out. There is much to like about Pulock's game, but sometimes his decisions with the puck ......

Still greene is turning and Kucherov skated into his stick and it rides up his body

Yeah I love the guy but WTF was he doing there?

We gotta kill this and then go on to win.

That’s how I saw it. Greene’s back was to Kuch. BS.

Yup, this is the perfect example.
- JohnScammo

It's so arbitrary. The guy could have had a previous injury. He could get hit just the right way. It's such a dumb standard.

Shorty? Komorov?

Sharp sucking lightning cok once again. He swallows it up like a champ.

Hey, are they checking Kucherov in the locker room for more blood so they can give Greene another 2 min?

Shorty?
- Upstate_isles

How amazing would that be!

This is a massive hill to climb against a pp like this on a fresh sheet of ice for 3 minutes without your top dman. Talk about adversity

I actually can see that happening at this point.
