Draisaitl tossed for spearing opponent's groin


The Oilers' Leon Draisaitl was ejected in the second period for spearing the Sharks' Chris Tierney in the groin during Game 4 on Tuesday night. The Sharks went on to win 7-0 to tie the series, 2-2.

The dirty play may result in a harsher punishment.

Jeremy Roenick called it "as stupid as we've seen."

The crowd groaned.

But hockey players are tough, so Tierney apparently wasn't too bothered.

Here's a few other reactions from the media:

Game 5 is on Thursday at 10:30 p.m. ET in Edmonton.
