"As the second ticked off the clock in the first period, Bunting skated past Bruins netminder Linus Ullmark,
making incidental contact. Ullmark fell to the ice, but no penalty was called.
As Bunting continued to skate to his bench, Shattenkirk stuck his stick out from his bench,
connecting with Bunting. It was small contact, but when you're on the bench you cannot interact with the on-ice play.
That little poke earned Shattenkirk a fine from the Department of Player Safety."
Refs need to call shit. And the department of player safety needs to be THIS pedantic when they judge actual dangerous shit
