The Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb might be looking at supplemental discipline from the NHL after his hit on Anaheim's Ryan Poehling knocked the center out of Game 5. But here's the thing—it shouldn't.

McNabb was handed a five-minute major for interference and a game misconduct, which already took him out of the contest for most of the night. That's a hefty price to pay, even if Poehling needed help off the ice and didn't return due to an upper-body injury. The league often considers in-game punishment when deciding on further action, and this case is no different.

Let's break down the play: McNabb was late arriving to Poehling, finishing his check a couple of seconds after the puck had moved on. But it's not like he led with an elbow or left his feet—two factors that usually trigger a suspension. It's a borderline play, but not the kind of predatory hit that warrants a ban.

Even former NHL coach John Tortorella weighed in, and he wasn't impressed with the call. When asked about the major and misconduct, Torts said, "Don't even ask me, please. No sense in talking about it. Did you see the hit on Coghlan at the end of the period? I just don't get it."

We're with you, Torts. It wasn't that egregious. Sometimes a major penalty and early shower is enough.
