Dumba hit on Pavelski

[egelband]

Looked like Pavelski was engaged with another defender. If so, the third guy has to be more careful. I hate those kind of hits.

Good hit. Keep your head up kid.

 

[Scoresberg]

As clean as they come. Maybe a bit late, so two mins wouldn't have been a surprise.

All-in-all, beauty of a hit. Changed the whole game as well.

 

[Jugitsu]

He did that all on his own.

Or just look at this actions. Laughing after what just happened is a bad look no matter the reason he's doing it. Total asshole move.

He was being chirped by Stars' players and also arguing with the reffs about the call. There is absolutely zero chance he was laughing at what happened to Pavelski.

Might have been a millisecond late but what the hell was Pavelski doing.

 

[OKR]

Late hit leading to injury.

Should’ve been 5 mins for interference.

It’s not late at all, he literally still had the control of the puck when Dumba first initiated the hit, he had just let go off it before the contact.

A hit that late should always be a major. You cant expect to be rammed like that without the puck. If this is legal and clean according to some fans, then hitting unexpecting players outside the play is ok.

There would be multiple majors in every period if hits this ”late” were always major…

Man there is deranged fans here if they have onus on Pavelski for reason he was injured.

He was tied up with a different defender, 2nd defender came in with a blindside hit that started with shoulder but clearly made most contact with his jaw...at speed!

Alot of expert skaters here hey? I mean how did pavelski not stay on his skates to prevent hitting the ice...baffling questions.

Dumba also turtles to domi a few seconds disaster when domi wanted to fight, then jumped around the box like Rambo.

Trash hit and Trash player.

 

[kranuck]

my god what a hit...a touch late, but thats just good old fashioned playoff hockey.

If it's late then it's dirty. It's not hockey at all.

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

Playoff hockey, I’m good with no penalty.

So you're good with throwing out the rule book and allowing dirty hits.

Cool.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Not a major, not even close. Good call IMO

 

[General Fanager]

good hit, a bit late but nothing serious. If anything the guy who was throwing punches at Dumba when the ref was holding him down should be looked at by dops. #18 I think

That's Domi. He has a bit of a history of throwing punches with gloves off at unwilling participants.

 

[The Expert]

Clean hit, unfortunate result.

 

[mighty Stanley Duck]

Good hockey hit, keep your head up kid, it's playoff hockey

Don't wanna dispute the call, but this keep your head up is really making me angry. Just before the hit, he had puck on his stick, of course he was little bit down on the knees...maybe only Draisaitl and couple of them more can skate so good while being almost straight up...

Me too, esp. because it's lil jo.

But if the 2 Tkachuk hits on Kassian weren't penalties I don't see how this is?

Dumba is a defender, Tkachuk came down off the wing. Way more predatory and targeted yet no penalties. Consistency in the NHL is a problem.

 

[robsenz]

I don't get how anyone can think this is late. He moved the puck and less than a second later he's on the ice.

 

[MuckOG]

Clean hit. Hope Pavelski is ok.

 

[Oddbob]

Why was he laughing then?

Very likely at the 5 minute major being called.

 

[JimmyH]

I don't get how anyone can think this is late. He moved the puck and less than a second later he's on the ice.

I didn't think it was late but he did spring his arms and shoulders upward right into Pav's head from an oblique angle. Not exactly the cleanest hit I've ever seen.

 

[Oddbob]

I'm sure he was laughing about something completely unrelated to the game because that's the most obvious explanation?

He was very likely laughing at that being a 5 minute call, which it wasn't. Even the biggest POS's in history aren't laughing at someone over a serious injury. People are out here acting like hockey players are psychopaths.

Pavelski to me appears to be hurt from Hartman's stick being slammed into his head because of the hit.

 

[Xirik]

Good hit. Keep your head up kid.

This makes as much sense as yelling at a teenager "wear some diaper grandpa!"

What if the teenager is always crapping himself like his grandpa?

Trash hit and Trash player.

The only thing that hit pavelski in the head was a stick. Dumba shouldn’t be forced to fight domi after a clean hit

 

[John Mandalorian]

The puck was gone before Dumba started towards Pavelski.

That's a good question Oddbob, Sadly I am not qualified to answer such a question and will leave it to the experts on this board.
