NHL fans watching Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Colorado Avalanche and the Tampa Bay Lightning wondered where the penalty call was on Pat Maroon after a goal.
As Artturi Lehkonen put the Avalanche up 2-1 in the second period, Maroon was frustrated a penalty wasn’t called on Colorado defenseman Josh Manson. Maroon then took his issues out on Manson with a blatant slash that broke his stick.
