Team USA forward Kenny Connors ejected for boarding (video)

During the second period between the United States' game against Slovakia, American forward Kenny Connors was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for boarding.

There's no question that Connors' hit on Slovakia's David Natny was late, but there doesn't appear to be enough on the play to warrant a five-minute major and a game misconduct. Connors was initially given two-minutes for boarding, but it was then reviewed by the officials and he was ejected.

What do you think of the call? Let us know in the poll below.
