It was a blind elbow...and was clearly done intentionally. Can't say he intended to injure....but also can't say it wasn't a stupid goon move. I think the major was deserved.....although it may just end up as a fine from the NHL. The real problem is how the NHL deals with this crap....suspending one day...and ignoring it on the next. How many people has Sam Bennett concussed now....with real intent to injuure?? He came so close to punching McDavid in the face last playoffs...with the butt end of his stick...and thankfully it failed. The guy is just such a goon....and the NHL has done absolutely nothing about the guy.
Nah you're blind bro fr. It was absolutely an elbow. Any elbow to the head regardless of intention, delivered during a hit is an absolute no-go. Wise up 🤡
Naw, he couldn't be fooling you by pretending to pay attention to one thing while does another. "Oh look, what's that!?" ☝️👀💪💫. He already got the check with his back, he didn't have to full swing elbow him. You must be aware of your own stick as well as your body, he had plenty of time to stop his swing. Intentionally or not, he clearly did it and still had to pay the penalty.
The best years for our game was right after the 05 lockout no more clutching and grabbing so the game was super fast and you could still hit people anywhere you wanted to.This is ridiculous our sport is turning into soccer!
Terrible, yeah it's careless and reckless sure give him a 4 minute double minor and it's wtf but a 5 and game. This shit needs to stop last night you had the meier on necas phantom kneeing now this give me a break. If players can be fined and or suspended refs need to be too and held to a even higher standard
cry baby doesnt want to see people get ejected for stupid antics like where in the playbook is kneeing and elbowing? its in the rulebook and not the playbook for a reason, bertuzzi isnt the cleanest player either so what do you expect of him? you are an idiot
My thoughts are similar. I agree with 5 minutes here because of the injury. But I hate the automatic game misconduct for all majors except fighting. Some major penalties like this are not worthy of a game, just sit him in the box for 5 minutes. Also I’m pretty sure elbowing can only be a single minor or major plus game so no double minor.
Coming from a stars fan that probably should have only been 2 minutes or 4 at most. Not sure if you can call a double minor for anything other than stick infractions though.
The Department Of Player Safety and concussion and CTE concerns are literally ruining every physical aspect of the sport. It's embarrassing and also pathetic. Hockey is play doe soft, it's hard to watch.

I think just the rest of the current game is fair, but absolutely.
Now this comment is charmin soft. Only someone that had never participated in any kind of physical activity would say something this idiotic.
I like Bertuzzi but that was a sneaky elbow. He knew what he was doing.
A game misconduct? Bullshit.
so his arm slightly touches him? and he completely flails around on the ice like a baby? wtf???
2:30 this angle makes it very cleary he was reaching behind to catch himself
Makin uncle todd proud 😂
Bert's been getting fokked for the last 3 seasons... I hope Doug brings him back home to detroit... horrible trade off.
Hockey has become soft. They don't make players tough like they used to
Did I just witness a “soccer penalty”, during a HOCKEY GAME? Where was the embellishing penalty?
He is his uncle's nephew, but that was a clean hit.
Maybe a penalty, but no way worth 5
whole lot of dudes in the comments never been clipped in the head by those elbow pads before lol - also it's Bert: he did that shit on purpose.
Bertuzzi barley touched him as his arm swung from momentum. Soft. 😊
Wow. This is terrible. What has this great game come to? I just cringe watching hockey now. Back in the day, the player would have just skated over to the bench, got stitched up, and never said a word.
NHL can we please bring hockey back. I’m about to cancel my ESPN Plus subscription. I just can’t watch this anymore.
4 min double minor to the visor for slashing.
Absolutely pathetic call
This isn’t even a five in minor hockey
Blackwell soft
That call was as bad as the Harris campaign.
