And when a player is fucking bleeding like a stuck pig, it's pretty damn obvious what happened. Not once but twice a high stick didn't called when it was an easy 4 minute call. So it happened behind your back, big deal. You should be forced to make the call each and every time there's blood.

Remember, the Caps started the season 6-14-1. Once Boudreau got here, they went 37-17-7.
