Ah. That’s news to me.

A "double minor high stick penalty" in the NHL is called when a player commits a high-sticking infraction that results in an injury to the opposing player, leading to a four-minute penalty consisting of two consecutive two-minute minor penalties; essentially, the referee would announce "minor penalty for high-sticking, with a double minor for injury."

That was not injury, droplets is not injury and we've seen many 2 minute calls for droplets.
 

Rule 60 – High-sticking
60.1 High-sticking – For “high-sticking the puck”, refer to Rule 80.
A “high stick” is one which is carried above the height of the
opponent’s shoulders. Players must be in control and responsible for
their stick. However, a player is permitted accidental contact on an
opponent if the act is committed as a normal windup or follow through
of a shooting motion, or accidental contact on the opposing center
who is bent over during the course of a face-off. A wild swing at a
bouncing puck would not be considered a normal windup or follow
through and any contact to an opponent above the height of the
SECTION 8 – STICK INFRACTIONS
NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE OFFICIAL RULES 2024-2025
92
shoulders shall be penalized accordingly.
60.2 Minor Penalty - Any contact made by a stick on an opponent above
the shoulders is prohibited and a minor penalty shall be imposed.
60.3 Double-minor Penalty - When a player carries or holds any part of
his stick above the shoulders and makes contact with his opponent’s
neck, face or head so that injury results, in the manner of drawing
blood or otherwise, the Referee shall assess a double-minor penalty.
Referees making this call shall have the option (but not the obligation)
to review video of the play for the purpose of confirming (or not) their
original call on the ice, and, in particular, whether the stick causing the
apparent injury was actually the stick of the Player being penalized.
Such reviews will be conducted exclusively by the Referee(s) on the
ice in consultation with other On-Ice Officials, as appropriate, using
the technology (for example, a handheld tablet or television or
computer monitor) provided for the Official(s) at ice level. On any such
review, the only contact between the On-Ice Official(s) and the NHL
Situation Room shall be for the sole purpose of ensuring the Referee
is receiving any and all video he may request and that he has access
to all the appropriate replay angles he may need to review the penalty
call. There shall be no other consultation between the Referee and the
NHL Situation Room, or with any other non-game participant.

This didn't happen in this instance

Wussy boy was bent over and Dach's stick did not go above Dach's shoulder.
 
The reffing was absolutely nauseating. The penalty to Anderson. The refs taking their sweet time after the skirmish, trying to figure out how to make sure we ended up shorthanded. And all the other stuff.

I've written the season off. I really don't want to be picking 10-15. They get one last top five from me. Next year I expect wins.

We'll see how they look when Laine returns. I don't expect a big run... But adding a legit top 6 forward could be pretty big.
 
Habs brass upset about the reffing.

From Arpon

>>Jeff Gorton came walking toward an elevator full of reporters, Canadiens hockey operations staff and a couple of Rangers assistant coaches. He was so angry that he did not take who was in the elevator into account. He probably didn’t even see them.

He walked straight up to the wall next to the elevator and punched it. Hard. He then made a comment on those random circumstances that we won’t specify.

Several minutes later, after commiserating with his coaching staff and management, St. Louis came out to answer questions from the media and didn’t answer a single one. Instead, he repeated the same line over and over again, no matter what the question was.

“I loved everything about our game,” he responded, in both official languages. “I’m not going to talk about the refs.”

His mentor John Tortorella would have been beaming with pride.

Yes, they need to stop with the "if blood is drawn it has to be 4 minutes". That isn't the actual rule. Bleeding in hockey is an occupational hazard, not necessarily an "injury". Being "hurt" isn't the same thing as being "injured".
