Can someone explain why that wasn't at least a 4 minute misconduct?

He drew blood by illegally boarding him, I was under the impression that this would be 4 minutes if not a five minute misconduct...

At least they got a goal off of it, but still does anyone know why the blood rule is not in play?

I see the Wings are kicking ass. Can someone tell me if they've been dominating or if the score doesn't really indicate the actual game so far?

I thought the 4 minute blood rule was only for high sticks. Not sure about anything else getting extra minute for drawing blood.

Perhaps, but if that is the case it should be changed.

Also, can I play lawyer for a second...

If his stick wasn't parllell to the ice and cannot be as such without being lifted to a high level, then would that not be high sticking to cross check Helm into the boards. As blood then followed from the high stick it should be four minutes!!!

I will say that I am not happy that he gets two minutes but if Helm went out on the stretcher he would have gotten a game misconduct...

Boarding is either a minor or major. If the ref deems it a major AND there is an injury, a Game Misconduct is automatically given. Helm wasn't injured, he was just cut.

Had a few gift wrapped odd-angle goals thanks to Backstrom, but even without those, it's been a solid game by the Wings.

Although, it feels like this game is taking forever. Lots of whistles tonight, between penalties, hand passes and high sticks, etc.
