AJ Greer gets a 5 minute major for cross-checking Hoffman in the mouth

Things have been tense between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins tonight, bringing new like to the old rivalry.

First Brad Marchand goes after Rem Pitlick for levelling Patrice Bergeron below the goal line and now Bruins forward AJ Greer gets tossed from the game:


Greer and Canadiens forward Mike Hoffman line up for a draw in the neutral zone and after some words were exchanged, Greer cross-checks Hoffman right in the teeth, earning himself a 5-minute major and a game misconduct. After a brief review the call was upheld


If you're Greer, you can't be doing something like that off the draw, leaving your team down a forward so early i the game isn't going to earn you any favours from coaches or teammates.
