Ekblad hit on Hagel - suspended 2 games

[BlueDream]

I’m good with 2 games. But was hoping for even more to really send a message to this f***ing dipshit that you can’t do that in your very first game back from your PED suspension.

This is why playoff hockey sucks now. It’s all fun and games when Tampa does it but now when they’re getting clowned it’s not cool lmao

This is why I am going to cheer for the Maple Leafs for the first time in my life.

Wow. Just wow.

I think Toronto would have a solid chance vs either. The only concern would be if it was TOR/FLA and Verhaeghe or Tkachuk begin to get hot I still would take them to win. TB should be an easier out for Toronto IMO

The “f***ng dipshit” hit Hagel less violently than Hagel did to Barkov, in his very second game back.

 

[Idiot Stick]

league favors Florida too much

 

[BraveCanadian]

good trade

Yeah they really need to tip the scales the other way on things like this obvious intent to injure.

IMHO, Hagel thought he was making a hockey play...Ekblad's intent was to injure. My proof? Hagel's previous history...no suspension or history of hits like this. Ek? I cannot say the same.

My guy good
ur guy bad

Too bad he didnt hit barkov hard enough maybe you guys would be 3-1

 

[IceManCat]

A suspension for PEDs and then a suspension for an illegal hit a few weeks later? Damn this guys smart

Well he is rested for the playoffs and his injuries are mended too. So it wasnt a bad idea really. He does lose $$$$ though.

IMHO, take off the glasses. Hagel had no other intention, just like Ekblad. Stop with the bullshit. He was fixated on Barkov the whole time, nothing else mattered. That was more clear cut that the Ekblad hit, which “IMHO” deserved a suspension.

 

[pb1300]

And for all the so-called experts out the, SCREAMING AND CRYING about the official being right in front of the play, and not making the call, look at the video. He was looking elsewhere. See, they are human, and they may not be locked in on a specific play or area.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

The funny part is Ekblad probably could've just laid a big legal hit on Hagel in that moment.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

They were just chanting it the other day again.

Bothered?

If I recall, the Panthers took care of the Leafs with ease. It will be hard to find a Panthers fan "bothered" by that.

Toronto has so many heartbreaks that this “We want Florida” thing is a minor speed bump in our history but it’s all Florida thinks about apparently lol.

 

[drktmplr12]

2 games is maybe a bit much. Can’t imagine this is going to sit well with Floridas 3 fans.

They just use AI to replicate the same 3 fans

Hagel thought he was making a hockey play? Gimme a break! He was frustrated he was getting rekt and lost control of his emotions.

[Panthers Propaganda]

Damn, suspended for rest of the series.

Damn, suspended for rest of the series.

And the first game of Rd 2

I was one of those people, but not going as far and screaming and crying about it. To be fair on myself I only saw the play in real time and then the angles I saw afterwards were from behind John McIsaac. Looks like I was wrong.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Some justice dealt….no place for those kinds of elbow shots.

 

[Alexei Yashvalev]

They seem to play better without him.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Hopefully the ref that watched this from 10 feet away and called nothing doesn't get the opportunity to call anything else this post season to send a message to them as well but we know that won't happen

I mean there fans only just realized they had a team a couple years ago so you gotta give them a break.

Concussion says otherwise but yes let’s ignore point of contact of each hit.
