Huge Issue with Boarding calls
The amount of Shoulder on shoulder/Chest on Chest boarding calls this year is ridiculous. This is happening almost every game to someone on the ice where the hit begins as a clean chest to chest hi...

Had a boarding penalty on a 100% legal hit too yesterday. I was simply backskating with my defense right in front of the puck carrier, the second after he break in I decided to land a hit because he was holding his skating line right at me... he went down toward the blue line....he wasnt even that close of the board and neither went flying toward it.....and then I got called for boarding.
Thought it was an elbowing, it was the only possible penalty I could get ...but nope, Boarding.
Whats weird is that my hit on the opponent was EXACTLY at the same spot as in your clip. The only difference is my hit wasnt toward the board at all.
I wish I had cliped it now... The good news is it's the only time I've seen this so far.
@Tigidooh Yeah they are wildly inconsistent this year. There are times where you can absolutely drill someone into the boards shoulder on shoulder then 1/4 times they call it a penalty
