Little bit of a hook in there, but overall a lot more mild than most of the from-behind attempts you see in the nhl. Definitely prevented a good scoring chance.

Ref was on opposite side of it hitting the glove, too, at real speed I can see how that looks clean on that side.

Agreed. It's impressive, probably should be called a penalty, but definitely don't blame the refs for missing it.

I think he hits his hand and and leg which should have been a penalty but seriously its the playoffs and great play. Honestly even not in the playoffs the non call is fine. The real issue was the crosscheck after, which should have been a penalty. McDavid punches him after but if the refs call it he likely wouldn't have. But no call makes a no call punch to the face. Marchand.. ahem, Tkachuk has made some unreal plays but is rat stuff like the crosscheck after should be called. It's what this video should have really been about. Its not much different than the Kane crosscheck.
