Obviously a penalty but Matthews asked for it by reaching for that puck.

Nothing to see here.

It's just another point in the decade long discussion about whether players should hold up when another player is in a vulnerable position. Agreed nothing to see.

No you didn’t.
If you did, then you clearly don’t know what interference is.

Matthews touched the puck. You can hit players who touch the puck, many players get away with interference with players a foot away from touching the puck.

Sad Leaf tears in this thread.

5 and game I assume? f***ing dirty ass hit on a player who deosn't even have the puck. If he's injured I could easily see a few game suspension.

edit - sad to see so many biased leaf haters commenting in here. If it was their star player they would be up in arms, sigh.

Remind me how you feel next time a player interferes with your superstar and sends him face first into the boards.

God no. Not even interference. I saw nothing malicious at all. We all know how Kronwall can hit when he wishes to...that was incidental.
Mathews went over so easily because he put himself in a position where his balance was poor.

Hahaha. Really like the way you sneaked that in there. Address the play and give a backhand comment, wow.

Relevant facts were stated. Can’t not mention Matthews propensity for shoulder injuries when his shoulder goes flying into the boards because of a legal bodycheck.
