That's the same thought I had. No one even cared the scrum happened after the hit this time. Why not?
And it's a suspendable hit. 2 games
Because Toffoli was on his knees and not laying there knocked out.
Stupid, I know. I posted the same thing in another thread. Players tripping over the player they are trying to "protect" in order to beat up a player is stupid and needs to stop.
I'm fine with every player involved getting a penalty. You can "defend" your teammate but either do it away from the injured player or later in the game. Some of that also goes on the player that committed the injury because they usually stop and stand over the player.
You see it all the time when a player comes too close to the goalie and someone decides to cross check that player to make sure there is contact, like the Price situation*.
* EDIT: Not trying to single out Montreal because literally EVERY team in the league shoves players into their goalies after the play is over. So stupid and something I will never understand.
