Wow, what a game. And the conspiracy continues.
Braun has been taking a beating. Not the first head shot he's received this playoffs. I hope DOPS takes a look, but I doubt any action will be taken.
From the slo-mo, it looks like it does touch Boumeester; however, from the rule, even with contact, that itself does not negate the hand pass.
Rule 79 - Hand Pass
79.1 Hand Pass - A player shall be permitted to stop or “bat” a puck in the air with his open hand, or push it along the ice with his hand, and the play shall not be stopped unless, in the opinion of the on-ice officials, he has directed the puck to a teammate, or has allowed his team to gain an advantage, and subsequently possession and control of the puck is obtained by a player of the offending team, either directly or deflected off any player or official.
Honestly, this is the after effect of what happens when you remove 2 of the most experienced refs after round 1. Either way, I'll take the W
