In the below GIF from Brady Trettenero, creator of Gino Hard and writer at Canucks Army, you’ll see an exchange between St. Louis Blues defenseman Robert Bortuzzo and Esa Lindell. The exchange happened during the second period of play.
The GIF starts off with Bortuzzo cross-checks Lindell. After Bortuzzo cross-checks Lindell, Lindell falls to the ice. Bortuzzo who is clearly annoyed by Lindell’s embellishment decides to cross-check him two more times. The referees decided to penalize both Lindell and Bortuzzo for the altercation.
Robert Bortuzzo with three cross-checks. Esa Lindell with three embellishments.
