Hope he gets none. Malkin is a dirty cheap shot artist himself. Honestly it doesn't even look bad though but that might be my bias against malkin

If you were including bias, then wouldn't you want Boychuk suspended considering what he did to Raymond?

Whether he's suspended or not doesn't affect Malkin at all.

I seem to be alone, but I don't think it's suspendable. What saves it for me is that he turns into Malkin at the last moment, obviously going for a full body hit. As a result, his leg turns more outward, making it more of a thigh on thigh than knee on knee. Worth an interference call but not a suspension IMO.

The DoPS has talked recently about knee on knee hits being more of a problem and looking to focus on them more, but this isn't the traditional knee on knee hit. He interferes with him and sticks his knee and leg were he shouldn't, but it's not him hanging the knee out while Malkin tries to skate by him (usually at speed). I don't see this getting much if anything.
