Let's Go Pens!
Rust was in a bad position and McQuaid moved toward him and finished his check. My complaint is when a player is on the boards, the opposing player has to play the puck as the primary responsibility. I think the hit on Ruhwedel was also the same kind of play. Foligno made mo attempt to play the puck and IMHO should have been charged with boarding. Two injuries could have been avoided with calling those kind of situations that way.
I don't think either play was dirty or unwarranted. I'd have to watch again, but the main point of a check is to separate a player from the puck.. not necessarily making a "play on the puck."
If either of the 2 were iffy it would be the McQuaid hit, but I don't think there was any malice intent behind it.
