Must see: NHL pest gets away with classless gutless play!

Many National Hockey League fans think he should have gotten a worse punishment. Dallas Stars pest Antoine Roussel gets under anyone's skin on the ice, and he might have tried a little too hard at it on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers.

During a players' scrum by the board, Roussel tired to hurt Oilers defender Oscar Klefbom by hitting him with his skate blade on his leg. It was the reason the big scrum started at the end of the first period and many players were punished.

I didn't even realize that Roussel trying to kick Klefbom was the reason the big scrum started at the end of the first period. #Oilers pic.twitter.com/VWV7qyRo8a

An absolutely gutless play by Roussel. No place for this crap in the game. #oilers #stars pic.twitter.com/Y5YzPv6tWR

Roussel was sent to the box for a two-minute minor penalty for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct. Many fans were outraged and wanted to see Roussel get a major penalty and a game-misconduct for his actions.

The TSN turning point is when Roussel kicks Klefbom and there is no call. A 5 minute major and game misconduct could have made a difference with the #Oilers PP

Roussel doesn’t deserve to play hockey on anything other than a frozen over sewer treatment tank. He’s trash. https://t.co/V2Yp80SfPQ

The Oilers even believe that the final score might have been different if the right call was made.

What do you think? Did Roussel get away with a dangerous move?
