    There are a lot of paragraphs in this comment section… 2022 perspective- high and late.

    God, the Sabres sucked under Housley.

    LMFAO Five And A Game!?
    Man what are these zebras watching? Maybe interference but definitely not a game misconduct.

    Stupid call. Time between the pass and the hit is around 0.5 seconds, which means that the hit wasn't late at all. Secondly, the hit is clearly targeted to the body, the shoulder clipped the lip a bit which made the cut in it, but shoulder/chest was the target, and principle point of contact. 2 min penalty would've been justified for slightly reckless check, but 5+20 is ridiculous.

    WTF 5 min n out of the game cos of this hit!?Max 2 min penalty would be fair ffs!RR55 likes to play hard but hes not a dirty player so this call was 100% BS!There is alot more dirty hits almoust every game and rarely Refs give this big penaltyes on those so clean Hits r illegal now a days?Soon there isnt any hits bcoz players r afrait BS penaltyes like this and Hockey aint Hockey w/o Big hits..Horrible Call!

    Why there's not 4 minutes penalty in NHL when you hit and opponent is bleeding because of it?

    Clean hit. Shoulder to shoulder, then their heads hit. Ristolainen's visor probably cut Koivu's lip.

    Someone below said the cut was from Koivu's own stick being popped up into his face, and to me it absolutely looks like that's what happened. I did not see definitive contact with Koivu's head. It looked close, and I definitely saw Koivu's stick jam into his face, but I believe Ristonlainen kept the hit on the shoulder. I think this was a poor call. I believe the fact Koivu cut his face on his stick is what made them turn it into a major, and it don't believe the cut was from Ristonlainen's shoulder hitting Koivu's face, I believe it was his own stick by how it looks. And I think you could make a case for interference, it's borderline. And you could just penalize him because it was a dicey hit and if nothing else was almost a head shot. But I don't believe this should have been a game misconduct.
