Even Garry Galley was surprised that the boarding on Mac went uncalled. In real time too - he went "oh!", but not because of the board but because he thought the Isles were going to get a penalty as a result. Nauseating.

Meanwhile, our hitters on our third and fourth line couldn't be bothered to target their D in a similar fashion as Mac has been run at all series.

If Ritchie hits a player in the numbers, instant match penalty.

We saw how eager they were to assess a major to Krejci originally.

I don't think it always has been. I thought I remember it coming up being a thing after Crosby flipped Horqvists stick to him mid play.

I could be wrong though
I got called for it in the early 80s. Along with playing with a broken stick, it's one of those penalties you only know exist because you do it and get schooled by the ref on the way to the box, after you accuse him of making the rule up.

Might not have been an NHL rule, but I don't see why it would have ever been added after a century of league play.
