Dumba hit on Pavelski

[WatchfulElm]

Mickey Mouse league.

Someone will have to die for the NHL to finally take concussions seriously.

dumba is a POS… has been his whole career. look at that smug smile he has in the box. no care in the world. i hope he gets it coming back to him 10x

also F ESPN for agreeing and showing the hit 100x…

they just never learn from their mistakes of showing hits that don’t need to be shown 100x over

I'll repost what I said in the GDT.

I can almost tolerate that being a 2 min penalty, because Dumba55 will get his for laughing like that. The real joke is Kaprizov not getting a 3rd man in penalty... but the refs are too chickenshit to call him on it cause he's their only relevant player

 

[SenzZen]

I hope Pavelski is ok, but that's a penalty for hitting too hard.

 

[ElGuapo]

It looks like first contact was to the jaw. Not understanding what people are seeing.

 

[swiftwin]

Dirty IMO, because it's late.

It would be a different story if Dumba was already committed to the hit when Pavelski shoots the puck. But Dumba commits to the hit after Pavelski shoots the puck.

At first i tought it was okay, but the angle from the left corner, behind the play for me was the the good review to call a five minutes. but close call

 

[mooncalf]

It was late and entirely unnecessary

 

[Bizz]

don't expect the Stars to retaliate physically. Pete DeBoer is their coach and he's soft af.

 

[Turin]

Dumba is a dumb player but idk what a vet like Pavs is doing admiring his ring-a-round there. A touch late so 2 mins but this is the playoffs man, you have to expect to get hit once you go to the corner man.

 

[crump]

Wobbly. Holy. Poor guy. Looks like his head hit the ice. A little late but a heavy heavy hit. Hate to see a guy leave like that.

 

[redandyellowcametobe]

Unfortunate hit. Not even sure how late it is tbh. Don’t love the hit but doesn’t seem illegal in todays ruled. I’d like to see a third angle to see exactly what knocked him out. He seems out before his head hits the ice. Was it the stick?

 

[Magic Mittens]

Surprised it took the Wild two periods

 

[felixhockey]

How are people saying it was shoulder to shoulder? The replay showed clear contact with the head first.

We need more camera angles. I watched it slow motion and it looks like he got him high. Really hard to tell from so far away

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Thought the hit was really bad in real time but didn’t look nearly as malicious on replay.

Someone else pointed out to me on the Bruins board that anther player’s stick got caught between Dumba and Pavelski on the impact.

We’ve seen from the Hall-MacKinnon hit a little while back the damage that can cause on an otherwise ok hit.

I also don’t think the hit was really late at normal speed…

Hope Pavelski can bounce back. I know he’s got a history.

Yep. I can't say 100% because there wasn't a great view. But if I had to bet I'd say he caught his jaw first. The officiating in this game is dangerous.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Damn little Joe got lit the f*** up. Hope he's alright, he's been torching my team for years but a really likeable player to me.

Hard to tell where the contact is with the angles I've seen. Don't think it gets anything more. Seems like the injury happened when Pavelski's head hit the ice... (wait a second does that sound familiar?)

 

[JustNapalmIt]

Does this draw attention from the league? Called a 5 min major. Edit: They reviewed and called this back as 2 for roughing

Great hit. Poor JoPa hit his noggin on ice

Mickey Mouse league.

Yes. No hitting would help

It was the stick of Hartman that hits him in the face! The idiots on TV have seen it 10 times and Evason told them what happened and they still don't realize it.

The stick got trapped and whipped into his face in a brutal way. It's a high sticking penalty but that's it.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Nothing wrong with this hit other than maybe a split second late.

Playoff hockey, I’m good with no penalty.

 

[JustNapalmIt]

no. Shoulder

 

[wayninja]

I'm shocked to see a near 50/50 split between "beautiful hit" and "disgraceful headhunting"

 

[ElGuapo]

no. Shoulder

Appears to be jaw.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Watch Hartman's stick!
