Man kann möglicherweise drüber streiten, da er den Puck net getroffen hat der Finne, aber ausgelegt wurde es mMn so:
RULE 60 HIGH-STICKING
60.1. HIGH-STICKING
A “high stick” is one which is carried above the height of the opponent’s shoulders. Players must be in control and responsible for
their stick. However, a Player is permitted “accidental contact” on an opponent if the act is committed as a normal “windup or follow through” of a “shooting motion”, or “accidental contact” on the opposing center who is bent over during the course of a “face-off”.
A wild swing at a bouncing puck would not be considered a normal “windup or follow through” and any contact to an opponent above
the height of the shoulders shall be penalized accordingly
