According to Steelers Twitter his stick broke & he held onto it too long!

I assume he tried to play puck with just a piece of handle.
No he didn’t do anything with the top half of his stick but according to the interpretation of the law by the refs, simply holding it was wrong and he should have dropped it. I have no idea if this is correct but have to assume it is
It is correct, a player has to drop his stick immediately once broken.
I imagine most seasoned fans are aware of this so I don't understand why he held on to it long enough to get a penalty. It's pretty basic stuff for hockey players. I do have to admit to not seeing the incident though

Looked a close game.

I was however really wound up when in the 2nd period when Vally had 3 Coventry players on him, not one Steelers player came in to stick up for him.

Not the first time that’s happened under Fox. Here’s me thinking the skilled players should be looked after. Silly me.

Can you imagine the likes of Vial, Alisson, King or Fitzgeralf letting that go......

No, ne neither.

What's the point in having McNally if not to step up on occasions like this???? Even if he's not on the ice, next shift make a big hit, call someone out....nothing!

Easy to say it's Fox, we need the bigger guys on our team to play like it, obviously there's a game plan from a coach, which in Fox's case is fast skating hockey but it didn't stop Mitchell when he came into the lineup and it brought him and the team some results. A game plan doesn't stop body checks and engaging physically.
