Speaking after the game, Dallas coach Peter DeBoer didn’t have an update on Hintz but offered his thoughts on the slash when he was asked.
“I’ll answer your question with a question: Does anyone in this room think if Connor McDavid gets carried off the ice like that, that it’s not a five-minute major?” he said. “That’s my answer to your question.”
Stars forward Mason Marchment said he felt there “was some intent, obviously” in Nurse’s actions.
“He’s one of our best players and now he’s done for the game, right?” Marchment said. “I don’t really want to tell them what they should do or what they should have called, but that’s one of our best players, and I don’t think it was enough.”
When asked about Marchment’s contention, DeBoer repeated a similar response to his first one.
“Again, you know, if that’s 97 (McDavid) carried off the ice in the same situation, I think we all know the answer to what that looks like for us,” he said.
Edmonton’s win tied the series at 1. Game 3 is Sunday in Edmonton.
