In the 52nd minute of the game on September 27, Chris Baltisberger and Joel Salzgeber engaged in a duel near the crease of the SCL Tigers. On the occasion, the Tigers' player cross-checked Baltisberger in the shoulder and received a minor penalty. However, the officiating management later asked the single judge to look into Baltisberger's reaction.
According to the single judge, the way Chris Baltisberger reacted in this scene, even before the expected cross-check, by lifting his leg off the ice, falling backward, and grabbing his face, is not only exaggerated and unnatural but rather an obvious behavior to draw a penalty.
