Plus Denver is at altitude didn't help any..

Ya, 5th game in 9 nights on the road. It's not shocking they didn't play well.

I'm in the minority, but I had no problem with the 5min call on Larsson. Pretty clearly targeted the head on a play that was dead. That's a play the league should be looking to eliminate, so every time they call a major on a play like that is a good thing imo.

He got his arms up on a 5'7 guy that cut toward him on the dead play as he's looking at his teammate on the ground. I doubt there was much intent at all there, just a defensive reaction. Was a massive sell job by that plug too. IMO, that's the kind of unfortunate play that a 2 min elbow penalty is for.

I approve of this message

Open to interpretation, I guess. I'm not sure how his height is relevant. This wasn't some guy that ran into Larsson's shoulder, Larsson actively elevated his elbow into the guy's chin. Defensive move on Larsson's part? Maybe. But it looked to me like if Larsson had done nothing, then any contact between the 2 of them would have been incidental at best.

Pure hypothetical, but if that had been a white jersey skating towards him, do you think Larsson's reaction would have been the same? I'm doubtful.

I could get on board with any, even accidental, headshots getting big penalties. Only if there was even the slightest chance that it would be done consistently though. In the overall view of the NHL, Larsson's penalty was an outlier IMO, and it will remain as one, if you exclude what happens in future Kozari reffed Oilers games at least. No positive overall trend toward safety will come from it. The only result of it will be that it played a big part in trashing our game yesterday. Doughty will remain free to elbow McDavid in the head at his leisure.

I rest my case, lol.

Kozari, just 2 days after this call watches Brad Richardson lead a hit into the head of Eakin with his elbow. Smokes Eakin in the side of the head and Eakin is concussed. And Kozari gives Richardson 2 minutes.
