CARRIERINHO OWNS OVI

 

[Victoire HuGo]

Huge blow if he's out. Our RD depth sucks and he was our #3 so far and playing tremendous hockey.

Ovi is lucky he didn't eat a stick on the bench.

 

[ahmedou]

What it hurts me the most wasn't the loss itself.

What hurts me the most was Carrier's injury. We lost a huge warrior.

Again, goodou recovery to Carrier.

He made me an even bigger fan of his with his play this series.

A shame he just didn't see Wilson coming. At his size, he needs to see players coming to properly receive a hit.

 

[Hannibal]

He’s a solid dman. Hopefully he’ll be back healthy next year.

He’s been physicaly abused this series oufff. Need to smarten up or he will have short career

Smartening up against Charging? No such thing, this is a NHL zone of interpretation that needs to be corrected, Wilson gave multiple hits in this series where his 2 feets where not on the ice after skating towards his target to increase the impact. As long as the NHL wont enforce this Wilson will take out whoever he wants.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

You know it was a solid trade when we all feel like we’re probably f***ed defensively when he goes down.. vs the guy we traded for him was such a defensive liability we were better when he wasn’t in the line up at all. Lol

 

[Whitesnake]

Fine d-man that should be rested now. He will play a key role next year. No need to sacrifice his health like that.

Agreed. If he got a concussion, he shouldn't be playing.

If he only got the wind knocked out of him, that's a different story. But I would think he got a concussion.

 

[The Last Red]

He’s not concussed if he’s flying. It seems clear he will be in the lineup tomorrow.

 

[26Mats]

Diagnosing a concussion requires input from the player. Players lie to trainers and doctors to stay in the lineup. Ask Gallagher.

 

[Tyson]

He’s not concussed if he’s flying. It seems clear he will be in the lineup tomorrow.

The whiplash and the way his head hit the ice I would be disappointed if he plays and that the trainers would endorse it.

 

[Hacketts]

Not going to be surprised if he's playing tomorrow, unlike some of you oat milk drinking mfers...

Carrier is a dog. Unfortunately (in this instance) he doesn't shy away from physical play despite his stature. Mad respect to him for saving the season

 

[sandviper]

Well, whatever… Wilson can go kick rocks…

Absolutely! It’s ridiculous that that these predatory blindside hits are still allowed. In the OHL anything close to a headshot and it’s almost an automatic game and often a suspension. I thought the Canadian hockey league was supposed to mirror itself after the NHL.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Well, whatever… Wilson can go kick rocks…

i love how every dirty player in the league is always quoted as a total sweetheart off the ice. bull****, I don't buy it. their actions in-game speak louder than words.

They were targeting him for sure. Habs record with him is telling.

 

[OldCraig71]

It is very telling that both Ovechkin and Wilson targeted Carrier. He was obviously affecting the Caps ability to create anything on his side of the ice. He helped to turn our season around in a big way. He isn't flashy, isn't attention seeking but gets the job done in a very quiet yet effective manner.

He is Hughes' best trade acquisition and it isn't even close.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Am I the only one who thought that was a head shot?

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

No you're not but Carrier is leaning in to make a play in a very dangerous spot it is what it is.

At the end of the day its hockey being played at a very high level and speed

Ovi’s hits are usually clean except I feel like they’re all borderline charging. He’ll skate from halfway across the rink and practically leave his feet most of the time if I’m not mistaken.

I won't be either. Whether that's best for his long term career is another matter. Have you heard what happened to Latendresse from getting too many concussions in a row? He's one of many.
