Boarding is a discretion call.
You can look it up.

Yes, boarding is. When the call is checking from behind and the player hits the boards as a result, it isn't.

I think that he's talking about a hit from behind, if it is into the boards or the net it is a 5 min. however if the ref feels he can call cross checking or bording for only the 2 mins.

That's what I'm talking about. The ref can call it boarding and assign 2 minutes if he feels it's not worthy of 5. But, if he calls it as checking from behind, he has to give it 5.

At any rate, screw MSU and UM.
