In a unique interpretation of the hockey rules, the officials tonight repeatedly called roughing on players wearing Union Blue hitting the puck carrier. Coach Tortorella generously called Jared Boll's hit to the sternum a late hit, but I didn't see it that way. That's called finishing a check. From the front. To the chest. With the shoulder. And yet it is called a major for interference, which is farcical on its face, and with a game misconduct on top of it. In addition, there are two Flyers who dropped the gloves and came in on Boll, which is the automatic ejection for the second man in, yet only a roughing minor is called.
