Pettersson hit his head on the ice. Bigger boys than him have hit their heads on the ice. Or gotten headshotted by some plug. What a stupid hot take.Anyone wants reconsider "his weight doesn't matter in the men's league" after Petterson's WWE bodyslam?
Clearly if Lindros had weighed an extra 10lbs he'd never get a concussionPettersson hit his head on the ice. Bigger boys than him have hit their heads on the ice. Or gotten headshotted by some plug. What a stupid hot take.
North american blaming petterssons weight as the fault for a concussion is the worst hot take.Pettersson hit his head on the ice. Bigger boys than him have hit their heads on the ice. Or gotten headshotted by some plug. What a stupid hot take.
Pettersson is just extremely light for a hockey player. Kotkaniemi isn't bulky neither but he isn't as lightweight as Pettersson.Anyone wants reconsider "his weight doesn't matter in the men's league" after Petterson's WWE bodyslam?
If Pettersson is extremely light, then so is Kotkaniemi. Pettersson is only 8 pounds less. If someone wanted to body slam Kotkaniemi to the ice, there's not a damn thing he can do about it.Pettersson is just extremely light for a hockey player.

Pure weight doesn't tell you everything. I have never seen Pettersson throw a hit whereas Kotkaniemi is quite often taking part in physical battles.If Pettersson is extremely light, then so is Kotkaniemi. Pettersson is only 8 pounds less. If someone wanted to body slam Kotkaniemi to the ice, there's not a damn thing he can do about it.
Claude Julien all but confirmed he’ll be sticking the whole year
Can someone explain to me the physics of ones weight and how it relates specifically to a head injury? Because I’d love to hear of the evidence.
Physics says the larger mass of 2 colliding forces would yield a more destructive impact. Smaller players tend to be more durable for this reason. If a player targets another’s head in a collision, the receiving players body mass is really irrelevant. What is relevant is why the delivering player is delivering a head shot in the first place. Lindros is an excellent example of this.

I think weight is less an issue on direct hits but there are a number a scenarios where you can get a concussion. When someone tries to slamm a player into the boards for example I would think a lighter players speed will probaly be higher at the time the time of the impact. Not to mention that the lighter player has less muscles and probaly a weaker skeleton/cartilage structure to soften the blow.
And the there are scenarios like Petterson, where Matheson just lifts him up and throws him on the ice. Its much harder to gain so much momentum on a 200 lbs player.
shooooooooooot

The more I look at it the more I think he anticipated Armia to continue skating and not float like he did.He definitely needs to shoot a bit more in certain occasions, but man the hands with that 3 meters stick!
Haven't been watching the Habs a lot this year, but WOW that stick looks infinitely long in his hands. It reminds of of a field lacrosse Defenseman's stickHe definitely needs to shoot a bit more in certain occasions, but man the hands with that 3 meters stick!
thats because we want him to score so bad, if he doesn't miss his saucer everyone calls him a genius. he could of shot then again the goalie was realy commited to the shot and the pass is a free goal. much more % of scoring with a pass in the situation he was than a shot! unfortunate!
I get what you’re saying and you’re correct, but those plays are not really your typical hockey plays. We might see a handful of them a season and they plays that are not allowed by league rules.

It's not a stupid hot take. Pettersson was about a foot from the boards, yet easily pinned and with a lot of force with one arm by Matheson, then just as easily slammed down. You don't see that happening often (or ever) because most players with NHL size/strength would not budge with the same ease.
So he'll score more than 3 goals this season?Maybe better start to NHL career than Joe Thornton.
