MedleyWR, clearly our definition of a beautiful check are different, but I can promise you that if you were on the other team, that it was not a "beautiful check." Clear knee to knee contact, and people are going to be pissed either way. White Bear fans if it gets called, and Pioneer fans if it doesn't. Tough spot for a referee to be in, but he made the right call. For you to say that it was a "beautiful check" takes away from your credibility as a knowledgeable hockey watcher.

The HM forward tried to weave through the Bears, right into David's path. David dropped his shoulder (not knee) into the HM player and sent him sprawling. If it was such a tough call, it shouldn't have been a call at all with 9 seconds left in regulation. But, maybe you weren't paying attention (much like the referee).

They didn't control the part of the game when they were scoring 3 quick goals to tie it up?
