Good,
After seeing the replays I'm not 100% convinced it was intentional (looke to just trying to be grabbing his head, Healy just happened to be facing down and got grabbed in the face/eyes) - Contact was definitely there, and it was reckless and could have ended very badly for Healy

I don't think it was intentional but a gouge is a gouge weather he meant it or not
