[paulmm3]

Only called two for charging by the refs but for me should have been 5 and a game and hearing from the Department of Player Safety

League is random top to bottom.

Who knows what will happen.

 

[dirtydanglez]

is there another angle? that one looks like tkachuk sees numbers the whole time.

Noodles with a predictably brain dead take lmao what an absolute moron.

 

[eojsmada]

That could be a 1-2 gamer. Was a pretty reckless play with nothing but numbers showing.

 

[Bounces R Way]

that damn screw came loose again

 

[ToDavid]

He’s a star player and from an “NHL Family” so I look forward to the $5k fine he gets.

 

[Number8]

Numbers all the way.

 

[GoJackets1]

That has to be one of the most absolutely moronic hits I have ever seen.

Yeah even worse he probably doesn’t even believe what he’s saying. Just an embarrassing homer call

 

[ToDavid]

Wes McCauley is a stain on the league.

Pretty brain dead hit but this is NHL he could get nothing after game though should get suspension. Hopefully Zucker is OK.

The high-angle replay they show around 0:15 has Zucker spinning around right before contact. That’s probably why it was called a charge and not hitting from behind or boarding. Tkachuk didn’t really see numbers the whole way, but he came in from a mile away, determined to throw a hit regardless of whether Zucker was in a safe posture or not.

Zucker did turn and unfortunately had his eyes on his skates not realizing Tkachuk was coming in for a hit. That said Tkachuk had some time to ease up but didn't really. For me that's a five and a toss but with no further discipline.

Surprised the announcers called 15 mins a game big minutes

It's been 8 games since he played under 16 minutes and the past 2 games he played over 21 minutes.

 

[Bouboumaster]

What an absolute moron lol

3 games + 2 for being that big of a POS

From a member of an absolutely moronic family tree. We shouldn't be surprised.

He had plenty of time to lay off hitting him but steamrolled him anyway. Should be fined and suspended. But the NHL is all talk and no walk when it comes to "wanting to get those plays out of the game"
