Hagel takes a 5 minute Major for hit that takes Barkov out of Game 2

An absolutely monster hit! Dirty? Definitely a bit late...

That's interference, no doubt. The puck is NOWHERE near Barkov and he gets absolutely trucked. But a Major penalty? I'm not sure. It looked like shoulder to shoulder to me. It'll be interesting to see if Hagel receives a call from NHL Player Safety, stay tuned.
