I'm with Stuart Coles on this - very much a point gained as opposed to a point lost. Incredibly proud of the Blaze, seriously short benched, compounded by extended penalties to Boutin and Cantin and the team responded magnificently. Yes - it would have been nice to get 2 points but even had we ended up with nothing at all that would still have been my game of the season, If we continue to play like this then we're in for some exciting games in the coming weeks.
Next Saturday could be a crackerjack of a match, hopefully we'll have a longer bench, looking forward to it already

Not so sure about Boutin. It didn't look that bad to me.

At the time I thought Cantin's call was a bit soft, looking at the highlights I think the ref got it right, Boutin's I didn't see too clearly and it wasn't on the highlights so we'll see. If Cantin does get a ban then I hope against hope that we see Jorgensen, Noble and Godfrey fit by the weekend (or at least 2 of the 3)
As an irrelevant aside if there was a major for whingeing, Hagos would be on a review for sure ...

I can't see Cantin getting extra. It wasn't a late hit nor malicious - just misjudged and a little high. For me, 2+10 was the right call.

DOPS normally say that there is no such thing as an accidental hit to the head and follow that with a ban. The reason for the "no such thing as an clean hit" is because that's the phrase in the rulebook. It's not a DOPS saying. And the rulebook allows for 2+10, 5+Game or a Match penalty. DOPS have agreed with the call and Cantin will not face any further action.
