Well that doesn't jive with the fact he didn't remember anything for a dew days so.. I assume it's just hockey talk.. not to be confused with locker room talk

See the "after watching it" bit

It does jive because his comment was that "after he went back and watched it", so he was going off what he saw, not what he remembered.

Some, but not all. More recently players and coaches aren’t just saying clichés but are speaking their minds. Brind’amour is known for speaking his mind. Rangers put out a full blown press release on Tom Wilson. There are many more recent examples of players calling hits dirty when they think they are.

Fans of teams that have a player hit regularly think it’s dirty and fans of the player who made the hit regularly defend the hit. Always been that way.

Coaches teams yes, some players. But mostly the player that got hit teammates call it out. 90% of the time the hit player says it was clean.

He did say it was a clean hit. It was clean. Trouba even tucked the elbow in. Shoulder to head for sure but by the rules clean. Until you call all head contact a penalty no matter what that’s a tough penalty to call. Jarvis did have his head down, wasn’t expecting it.

Was it mean? Yes. Will it be out of the game someday? Maybe, along with all hitting because you can’t take head contact out without greatly reducing all hitting. It’s very difficult to hit someone in open ice without their head making contact somehow, especially since low hitting isn’t allowed anymore. Which I didn’t agree with.

I love that it was Mrs Cleaver who did that..

And in this case, he was correct in saying it.

Tampa is gonna win another Cup.

Emily Kaplan: Hey Gerard, can you take us inside the decision to scratch Kakko, break up the kids, and bring Brendan Hunt in?

Gallant: Nope

Priceless! I don't dislike many sports reporters, but she's one.

 

[Tryamw]

Stamkos gets revenge for Hedman

 

[The Faulker 27]

Terrible goal to give up.

Terrible goal to give up.

But Igor's Better..

Agreed. However starting strome turns out to be a bad decision.

 

[The Faulker 27]

But Igor's Better..

He's the only reason it's not 4-0, but that goal was awful.

If it's not us I don't hate it. I like having a southern dynasty to make all the haters freak out.

If my sister in law wasn't an obnoxious Tampa fan I'd be fine with it.

 

[Brock Anton]

NY doing the same shit with Igor that they did with Henrik. Weak goal to concede, but jfc give the guy some help. I mean, I’m cool with them wasting another all-world goalie, but still. This is just maddening as a hockey fan, it’s 6v1 out there.

What could go wrong with scratching a former #2 overall pick who has had a decent run in the playoffs right before he becomes an RFA?

 

[The Faulker 27]

Rangers are done.

No team wants it as much as Tampa. They grind and grind and keep on grinding. They deserve to continue winning Cups.

 

[Tryamw]

Rangers get a PP goal and Stamkos says My LEAD!.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

STAMMER!!!!

 

[MinJaBen]

Suck it Rangers.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Tampa does it every time, and teams still let them do it. They're the most dangerous after a goal against.

 

[cptjeff]

LOL. Get f***ed, rags.

We are Dangerous after a goal for.. (Give up one more then I'd like)
