One of the things I think happened is that after the first period, there was already alot of tension and intensity from both teams. There were big hits, small talks and small fights after the whistle and I know Stone was involved in a couple of them. He also nailed hard Gallagher at some point and I wouldn't be surprised that he tried to broke his stick or hit his hand with that slash. When you watch the replay, PK looks at Stone and as soon as he slashes, he looks aways and ends up hitting his wrist.batdad wrote:Honestly...that hard a slash has come down on many a stick this season, last year and every game. Just hit a bad spot and I have no doubt that it hurt. But it is just a normal situation and i honestly do not believe PK was seriously trying to injure the rookie. I may have a different opinion if it was say.....Turris or Karlsson. PK is not that type of player. On the edge sure but not really dirty. Chirpy yea, not really dirty ...has got a bad rap for running his mouth. I think I am one of the few who actually likes PK and the way he plays. (Non hab fans).
This is only a OBSERVATION from when I watched the replay though, might not be that (I prefer to specify it for Peter) but it can be both. But yeah PK is not a dirty player, just a very excited played when things get hot and he does stupid things like that one.
And I'm not defending that play, I said he deserved to me a 5 min. I don't mind he got ejected, it was indeed stupid! That jump though, like Nino said, so much acting! He could have jumped (like you said) instead of trying to dive in invisible water! Case close for me.
Usually they then have mommy come and take care of their booboo. 
Anyway I predicted that Chicago takes it against the Rangers in the final, maybe that's the game 7 you're talking about. 
Why do the players don't have those kind of fines is beyond me.
