It was a clear cut boarding major for goodness sakes. If they won't call that you may as well let the players carry chainsaws.
Oracle said:So what's the rule, other than viciousness, that makes it 5 instead of 2? Does injury play a role?
41.3 Major Penalty ? The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a major penalty, based on the degree of violence of the impact with the boards, to a player guilty of boarding an opponent.

So, in a roundabout way, yes, injury can play a role.

Yup, still, if they called Stoll for the 2, Bernier never happens.

Ok, but you're kind of arguing two blown calls in a vacuum there.

I'm not sure what that means.

Violence/hitting from behind are the factors.

Drawing blood may have been factor as well. I think Scuderi's face got cut when it was slammed into the glass. It's evidence the head sustained an injury.
As well, as the broadcast pointed out, historically Scuderi hasn't been one to stay down or fake an injury. A player like him is more likely to get the benefit of any doubt.
When the call was made, I didn't have a big problem with it. I also felt Stoll deserved a minor. I'm a little sorry now only in terms of it being tough for the Devils to get back into it and make a game of it (not that I'm pulling for the Devils - I'd just like to see an exciting game).
