[GhostfaceWu]

Zibs is pretty terrible what happened to this guy

 

[miscs75]

Some feathers may or may not get Rempelled

So someone’s going to get elbowed in the head and we’ll have a 30+ page thread about how it’s a legal hit but he’s bigger so it’s not his fault?

 

[The don godfather]

Panthers hanging around this reminds me of thrilla in Manila ali vs foreman.

 

[PlushMinus]

FL ain’t trying to win this game

Yeah Maurice is going to tear them a new one during the intermission. They aren't foccussed at all

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Panarin reminds me of Pasta, he’s great but physical play is an easy way to shut him down it seems.

 

[aufheben]

2 minutes for Interference LMAO

 

[T REX]

Watching the replay...probably ok with 2 min

Just to keep control. Not a major at all

 

[dhfa]

It looked bad, but I don't know the technicalities of how they call those. Some could argue it was a clean hit. Looked like a head hunting hit to me but in slomo it's hard to judge when he wasn't making the hit in slomo

 

[v00d00daddy]

They'd blow the whistle for a serious injury regardless. Better safe than sorry.

Where was the serious injury?

They had to give him two minutes simply because they gut reacted and blew it dead.

Should have been no whistle… and obviously no penalty

I'm sure there are lots of comments about the Kulikov hit, so I'm just chiming in as a Rangers fan that if Trouba throws that hit, most of are screaming NO CALL WTF.
So I'm perfectly fine with the 2 minute minor.
Wennberg is leaning.
Maybe the hit is a tad late, I suppose - it's close.
Wennberg rocked. Take a seat buddy.

Pasta has better hair..well I guess he wins that one by default

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Game 2 is the time to do this.......

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Just a reminder that head contact doesn't equal automatic penalty. There's a lot of factors that go into it.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

announcer almost said shit haha

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Clean shot to head? It was a body shot.

It was about as much of a shot to the head as the hit on Swaggy. Unfortunately, Wenberg didn't have the puck.

Terrible reason to call a penalty

 

[The don godfather]

Cats due for a p.p.

A guy who got his shit rocked hard was down on the ice. It looked serious enough.

Both roads lead to Patty Kane hair.

[VainGretzky]

Rangers need to drop puck back on PP and run it in with speed when the Panthers lineup on the blueline

 

[Bruce Granville]

As a rangers fan

Trouba and Rempe end any case a hockey fan might have…

Seen hits not as bad get 5.

Yeah but it wasn't a penalty until they realized he might have gotten hurt. It's ridiculous. Call it when the play happens or don't call it at all.
