Antoine Roussel gets misconduct penalty for chirping at and hugging opponent

Vancouver Canucks left winger Antoine Roussel was given a surprising misconduct penalty during Sunday's Game 1 of their NHL Western Conference second round playoff series against Vegas.

It happened in the third period with the Golden Knights holding a 4-0 lead. During a play stoppage, Roussel got into a chirping match with Golden Knights right winger Ryan Reeves. Roussel playfully poked Reeves while chirping with him, then gave Reeves a "hug" while continuing to taunt him in his ear.

The referees separated the players, but then shocked everyone by sending Roussel to the penalty box for 10 minutes.

Seriously? The officials called this a misconduct penalty? This is a horrible job. Come on, refs, this is playoff hockey. Let them play.

Reeves got the last laugh over Roussel as the Golden Knights dominated the Canucks for the 5-0 victory.

Elias Pettersson clocks Ryan Hartman in back of head

Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson knocked Minnesota Wild right winger Ryan Hartman out of Tuesday's Game 2 of their NHL Western Conference Qualifier with a shot to the back of the head.

It happened with just over three minutes left in the third period as Hartman and Pettersson were chasing the puck in the Wild zone along the boards. Hartman's stick went high and clipped Pettersson, who naturally didn't care for it too much. As Hartman turned his back to pass the puck to a teammate, Petterson whacked Hartman right in the back of the head.

Hartman was down on the ice for a while before being taken to the locker room. Meanwhile, Pettersson was not called for a penalty.

The Canucks won the game 4-3 to tie the series at one game apiece.
