Dumba hit on Pavelski

[cneely]

Looks clean to me. 2 minutes for hitting too hard.

 

[BB79]

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.

Given how Pavelski is laying on the ice motionless he's either really hurt or should retire and be an actor. I think jaw is probably a solid guess

 

[JustNapalmIt]

Appears to be jaw.

No. Shoulder

I really like Pavelski and hope he's okay, but I think this is a play where the outcome makes a hit look worse than it really was. It was a bit late and a bit unnecessary, but this is playoff hockey

Are you suggesting that different rules should apply in the playoffs?

 

[John Mandalorian]

Watch Hartman's stick!

Just worry about your own cheap shot artist Howdy Doody McAvoy.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Dumbas a POS? No way.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Clearly shoulder to shoulder. Also clearly a little late. Dumba shifted his momentum towards Pavelski after the puck was already off his stick. (And behind Dumba even)

I'm split. On one hand it's predatory, on the otherhand heighted physical contact is what we love about the playoffs.

So.. while the outcome makes this worse than it might've been otherwise, I think it should've been a 5. Even 5 & 2 for #18 still leaves Dallas with a 3 min powerplay as a compromise. No way it should've been 4 on 4 after that though.

 

[Nsjohnson]

Late hit. Other than that, bad outcome but not on Dumba that Pavelski's head hit the ice.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Appears to be jaw.

It's 100% the jaw because he gets smoked by Hartman's stick, which gets whipped into his face.

Are you suggesting that different rules should apply in the playoffs?

The rules are applied differently in the playoffs. Doesn't matter if I think they should be or not

 

[ElGuapo]

No. Shoulder

No. Jaw. Also late.

 

[Hank Plank]

NHL loves seeing players get brain injuries. Uncle Gary must have a fetish.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Hit was probably less than a second after puck left Pav's stick.

Feet were on the ice.

Looks like a stick clothesline'd the head and then more/most damage from head hitting the ice.

I dislike Dumba55, but the hit wasn't "dirty".

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Just worry about your own cheap shot artist Howdy Doody McAvoy.

What does this even mean?

 

[ThatGuy22]

Was reduced to a 2 min penalty after review.

It was reduced to nothing. The roughing penalty called was due to the stuff with Domi after a clean hit.

 

[McGarnagle]

Joe Pavelski getting knocked out by the ice surface in a playoff game? Never

 

[Dr Pepper]

Late hit. Other than that, bad outcome but not on Dumba that Pavelski's head hit the ice.

I mean, kind of, no?

Pretty sure Pavs would've stayed upright if Dumbass didn't go headhunting late.

 

[Hank Plank]

Even if the hit was clean (I don't think so) there is still something called intent to injure which is exactly what this was.

 

[Ezekial]

It was reduced to nothing. The roughing penalty called was due to the stuff with Domi after a clean hit.

That's untrue. He got a 2:00 minor roughing penalty for his hit on Joe Pavelski. That's how the NHL stats have it at least.

You can't reduce a 5 min penalty to a 2 min minor for something else.

 

[Unspecified]

That looked shoulder to shoulder.

I mean it wasn't though...find a view from behind the net and it was chest/head

 

[BB79]

From that angle behind the net it looks like Dumba gets him right in the jaw and Pavelski's head snaps to his left. Likely a concussion for him

 

[Heldig]

Dumba spending the entire time laughing in the box while a guy gets helped off with a potential brain injury. Minnesota classy as always.

C'mon, he is not laughing at Pavelski's injury.

Great hit btw with an unfortunate result.

 

[redandyellowcametobe]

Yeah. Seems like Hartman’s stick whipped into his jaw at contact

 

[pman25]

This is the type of hit that is definitely cheap, but I guess it’s “clean” by the rule book.

Dumba has had a few of those borderline “clean” hits lately. I don’t like this one. But I guess you can do that

 

[Avs2022]

That was a clean hit.
