Was the rare 'one-man' fight penalty call on Vasily Podkolzin the right call by the officials? Did the referees get this one right after Drew Helleson drove Connor McDavid into the post? What else could Helleson do on the play? Are you allowed to hit McDavid or should you just let him fly through the front of the net untouched? Frank Seravalli and John Buccigross discuss on this week's Wilhauk Beef of the Week.
