Previous controversies regarding San Jose Sharks defenseman Roman Polak mainly revolved around him receiving so much playing time in the 2016 Stanley Cup Final.
In Game 5, many were wondering why he didn’t spend more time in the penalty box.
Judge for yourself in the video above, as that hit on Pittsburgh Penguins blueliner Brian Dumoulin.
Plenty of people believe that it was a missed call.
Not sure how Polak wasn't assessed a boarding penalty?? And now the linesman call's 2 many men on the ice. Yes it was but not dangerous.

Pretty hard push from behind by Roman Polak on Brian Dumoulin sending the Penguin defender into the boards. No call.
