Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery was “confused” as to why Rangers forward Artemi Panarin wasn’t penalized for his big hit on T.J. Oshie that forced the Caps forward out of their Game 2 loss to the Blueshirts in their first-round playoff series.
Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery was “confused” as to why Rangers forward Artemi Panarin wasn’t penalized for his big hit on T.J. Oshie that forced the Caps forward out of their Game 2 loss to the Blueshirts in their first-round playoff series.
Panarin appeared to catch Oshie high as he was going in for a check midway through the third period, and the latter was removed from the game after a concussion spotter made the call.
“They said it wasn’t a minor penalty was the only explanation I got. I asked a few follow-up questions with regards to leaving feet, point of contact, and the one thing that’s tricky is the spotter removes him,” Carbery told reporters after the game.
