Thats so on purpose, even puts up his arm when he realizes its too late. 

This league is just a joke lately. 

from Eric Stephens and Murat Ates of The Athletic,

Winnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor exited Sundays win against the Anaheim Ducks and was ruled out of the contest after Ducks forward Ryan Strome skated into him and the two collided at the knee. Connor will be evaluated further Monday in San Jose, Jets coach Rick Bowness said after the game.

Connor appeared to be unable to put weight on his right leg as Jets staff helped him off the ice and to their dressing room at Honda Center. Immediately following the collision, Jets center Mark Scheifele fought Strome. The two picked up the requisite five minutes each for fighting but Strome was assessed a five-minute major penalty for kneeing and given a game misconduct after officials reviewed the play.

Bowness was critical of the hit, saying, Its knee on knee. He sticks his knee out. Theres no other way of looking at it.

You hope its suspendable, Bowness said. But the refs made the right call a five-minute major, a game misconduct and well see where it goes from there.

Ducks coach Greg Cronin said there was no way Strome tried to hurt Connor.

You watch the replay. I even questioned that it was a five-minute. I guess theres an automatic if the guys click their knees together, Cronin said. He goes in and he tries to hit him with a shoulder check. I feel bad. Hes a heck of a player. Nobody wants to lose a star player like Connor.

When Kyle (Rehman) came over, I said, Why is it a five? There was no intent there. Literally, if you watch his shoulder, he turns his shoulder into Connor. And its just they hit knees, Cronin said of asking the ref about the penalty.
