Hockey Gods will remember this

I recall Voracek doing this a while back. I'm sure there's more examples too.

They should have called Tkachuk for embellishment then

 

[Three On Zero]

Ovechkin has done it, Pettersson has done it. Oddly this happens more often than you’d think.

You don't have reflexes?

It is a natural reaction to a stick flying past your face. Flinching is a protective instinct.

2 minutes for being human

Flinching, yes. Grabbing your face, no.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Bad leadership. Good leadership is that time when, late into an elimination game against Boston down a goal, Hurricanes Captain Justin Williams grabbed Bergeron or Marchand's stick, pulled it to his head area, then jerked back like he'd been high sticked. Truly that is a commitment to winning.

Refs didn't buy it and penalized Williams tho

You never flinch when something's close to your face? It's pretty natural reaction when something swings within very close to your face to lift your hands to face...

Have you ever grabbed your face with your hand when something's close to your face? Tkachuk only saved his own skin there.

 

[Paper]

Brady grew up watching this commercial

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

lol people think he was embellishing but turned down the powerplay? Make it make sense.

Respect tkachuk. The anti stutzle!

Our PP is terrible. Any goodwill from the refs to not call one against us is more valuable than a PP for OTT.

Lady bing award coming in hot

 

[Hennessy]

Makar did that and after the game said that he was told never to do it again.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

what a confusing sequence.

He sells the call. Then he comes clean.

 

[NyQuil]

By Satan?

(Not Miroslav)

 

[ToDavid]

Makar did that and after the game said that he was told never to do it again.

He said he probably wouldn't do it again. He didn't say anything about being told not to do it.

 

[Ratsreign]

Flinching, yes. Grabbing your face, no.

How about reaching up to adjust your helmet which popped up a bit from flinching? Maybe that is why he reached up.

 

[wmupreds]

Might be an unpopular take but honestly just take the penalty. Refs make bad calls all the time might as well take em when you can

 

[LokiDog]

The people insisting he embellished and that flinching - and even bringing a hand up to your face - is not a normal human reaction are the perfect microcosm of what makes HF insufferable at times.

Sport is played at frickin light speed and most guys at this level have taken a stick or two to the face in their lives and know what it feels like. God forbid you flinch when a stick swings passed your face at a thousand miles per hour, or you even instinctively bring your hand up, expecting that you were about to have a tooth knocked out. No way. Impossible. In fact, Brady should probably be fined for this.

Everyone on HF is the toughest of people and never ever would they flinch. They're just sitting on the sidelines to be nice to the athletes. They don't need millions, that be greedy of them you know. They're all altruistic saints around here
