..Absolutely nothing had happened with Hunt. He hadn't poked the goalie, he hadn't shoved anyone. He just skated in, shot and then Kane followed him and took a big swing at his hand...enough of one to cleave the glove off...

.. I wondered that as well.. but watching the replay.. after the whistle both Kane and Hunt were skating side by side past the side of the Oiler net.. Kane on the inside.. Hunt leans in and gives Kane a subtle quick shoulder.. almost crashes Kane off balance into the side/back of the net.. it was a cheap/greasy move by Hunt.. probably didn't deserve a triple A slash but it didn't come from nothing.. Hunt likely won't be doing it again :)
My main theme was Oilers always seem to get a disproportionate number of the weird calls/fines/suspensions..

There are times I agree - did anyone else get the manager/coach draft pick penalty? Anyone else punished on anything by covid prorating? - but I don't know if this one is that odd.
I do think that sometimes the Oilers are their own worst enemy there. It's just daft that Holland never challenged the league or said boo publicly for them robbing us of a draft pick for goals that James Neal didn't actually score.
