There's no question that Connors' hit on Slovakia's David Natny was late, but there doesn't appear to be enough on the play to warrant a five-minute major and a game misconduct. Connors was initially given two-minutes for boarding, but it was then reviewed by the officials and he was ejected.
What do you think of the call? Let us know in the poll below.
Kenny Connors (#GoKingsGo), meanwhile, got ejected for this hit on a Slovak defenceman on the same shift, being served a five-minute major for boarding.
