Ekblad hit on Hagel - suspended 2 games

[JPeeper]

Soccer is 100% rigged.

If you watched this Ekblad play, I'd say the NHL is as well.

What the hell has happened to this dude

-The PED’s
-Absolutely idiotic plays on their last playoff runs
-This elbow tonight
-His underlying numbers rival a bottom pairing d-man

This dude just completely checked out mentally?

Trying to stay relevant as age and injuries have made him worse- it’s like how PK Slewfoot didn’t become a problem until his other skills sucked.

Oh, and Bolts fans- I told ya Tkachuk wouldn’t get suspended, I said the league would draw the line between the two hits and I was right. This will get a game. It should get at least 2, but with Bennett getting away with a similar play last year I don’t see ‘em going over 1 game.

Now Nikola or whoever just recreated a hit that got Kadri 3 games a few years ago- dear lord, I dislike both y’all teams.

Can't have someone shoot a puck at the opposite goalie during warm-up but this is perfectly fine.

 

[Danarqhy]

Anddddd Ekblad scores just for good measures LOL


EDIT: Nevermind

EDIT AGAIN: NOW HE SCORES FOR REAL.

Sending Hagel to the shadow realm with a dirty hit and scoring two goals after the refs failed to eject him. NHL must be loving this.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

The Bennett special. Since it is Florida there will be nothing further.

 

[Boyon90]

Seems to be one of these thread poppin everyday

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

No suspension. Ekblad was giving bettman shoulder rubs while he was out with the ped violation

 

[stevo61]

Well, he hit a player with the puck

 

[wetcoast]

Should be done for the rest of the series, head hunting, elbow, pure intent to injure

Seriously if we use this standard a dozen guys would be missing the rest of the series by now with all the missed cross checks to the face ect....

 

[BraveCanadian]

Plays for the Panthers so its fine.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

If you watched this Ekblad play, I'd say the NHL is as well.

With sports betting so prevalent, officiating has become rigged.

The NFL has only 17 games, which means the financial stakes on each game are astronomical.

And FIFA is 10000000000000% rigged.

 

[BB79]

Soccer is 100% rigged.

What, and the NHL isn't?!

 

[uncleben]

I have no faith in DOPS.

But he should be fired into the sun for the rest of this series bare minimum.

George Parros should be fired into the sun, period, end of story.

 

[SenzZen]

This really stings now.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

2 min. roughing penalty at most but IMO, not even that. This was nothing.

 

[GordonGraham]

He pushed down/hit a guy with his forearm no big deal, we see more violent punch to the face after plenty of scrub

 

[olli]

Man does this ever hurt that he scored the game tying goal after this

 

[TheImpatientBoomer]

No penalty btw...

Unfortunately Cooper is gonna have a Rod the Bod like meltdown and convince himself the series is 2-2 and its still TB in 6

 

[T REX]

That's just some old school hockey right there. Bolts just need to man up.

What year is it? They have 4 finals and 2 cups. Man up? They've manned up.mote tgan any other team over the last decade. Gmafb

 

[BMOK33]

I am guessing he gets 2 games

5 finals and 3 cups, actually. Don't forget about 2004.

 

[Vilam]

Ekblad about to be in the best shape of his life for Game 3 against Toronto

 

[T REX]

5 finals and 3 cups, actually. Don't forget about 2004.

Talking about this core

Exactly. The shat Washington and Florida are getting away with would have gotten Kadri 10 games.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Looks like his head hit the ice more than anything.
