Kronwall was given a five minute major for interference and an automatic game misconduct. While technically Havlat never touched the puck, the puck was in his skates and Kronwall just nailed him with a great hit. Havlat was looking for the puck and had his head down, so he paid the price.

It is interesting to see the differences on both sides with the same hit. Detroit was livid that there was even a penalty called on a good hit, while the Blackhawks were aghast that Kronwall hit their star with such a dirty hit.

I have to agree with the Red Wings that it was a good hit. I hope that Havlat is able to return for the series, but if he has a concussion, it is unlikely that he will be able to come back in the Conference finals.
