I was being sarcastic
Lol not even close. Thomas had one of the best goalie stats ever that year. Kypros is a boobKypreos on Sportsnet was saying he thought he could be the Tim Thomas of this years playoffs
Uhhhh……no
That's how the Punkthers play the game, they have no respect for it at all!.Some will defend it, but I thought that Tkachuk hit on Guentzel was not a good hit. I like good, tough legal hits; it's part of hockey. A legal body check is a hockey play to break down the opposing team's offensive attempts.
But that hit was not a hockey play. Aside from being late, it was predatory, mean-spirited, and completely unnecessary, especially at that point in the game. The game was lost and TB was about to score on the empty net. Tkachuk targeted Guentzel in a way that's completely outside the spirit of the game. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I think hits like that should have no place in the game.
Nothing wrong with the hit in style at all was just late. I could see the penalty though and deserved, no suspension is fine with me.Some will defend it, but I thought that Tkachuk hit on Guentzel was not a good hit.
