It was a high hit that finished with a cross check on video. Ref threw the flag immediately.Had his hand in his pocket grabbing at the flag as the player hit the ground. Even the offending player turned and looked right at the ref after he did it. Helmet to helmet on first contact with a cross check to the chest that road up into the players throat and helmet. Hawks player extended his arms all the way out. That is a penalty. Good call by the ref.
Post this said video then so everyone can shut up and move on and enjoy the holiday season.
