I never once called it high sticking. It clearly was not.

You copied my words. I meant exactly what I wrote.

I know the ref blew the call.

And yes I’ve played hockey.

He did hit Bonino, but not in the face

Why is that relevant? Penalty should only be called if the stick hits above shoulder height. Doesn't have to be the face.

Penalty should have been called on Ovechkin for hitting Crosby but not against Niskanen. Of course, the ugliest face in hockey should have been penalized for interference when he did so intentionally to set up the tying goal. Refs are almost as pathetic as the Caps power play. I guess they could all be considered hockey plays.
