A weird play took place in the third period of Tuesday night's Game 3 between the New York Rangers and Boston Bruins when two high sticks occurred simultaneously, but neither one of them was called a penalty.
Rangers defenseman Steve Eminger lost control of his stick as he tried to tap it away from Bruins center Tyler Seguin as he skated into the Rangers zone. At the same time, Seguin tried to shoot it through Eminger and left winger Chris Krieder, who came back to help. The end result was a double high-stick, with Eminger hitting Seguin in the face and Seguin hitting Krieder in the face. Play was stopped as Krieder and Seguin needed time to recover, but both players appeared to be OK.
You would think at least one of them would have been called a penalty. Terrible job by the officials. How do they miss that?
