Emelin boarding hit on Spezza

[sheed36]

This guy targets smaller skilled guys all the time mind u Spezza bit bigger but still crosscheck from behind...He should have gotten suspended for Gionta head shot.This clearly deserves something.If Marchand got 2 for what he did and guy not hurt then this breaking guys nose should be 3 .But we all know NHL protects certain teams over others.This guy is a cheapshot player.Spot picker.

Your posts about the Habs never disappoint and I really enjoy reading your Habs hate. You're hatred towards the Habs can't be good for your health.

As for the hit.. If Emelin got a game or 2 for that hit I would've been fine with it. A couple of games watching from the pressbox might do the guy some good right about now.

He should sit a few games. He is a predatory player, not just looking to separate players from the puck.

Five and a game was the correct call. This isn't suspension worthy.

I hate Emelin, but how is this not just 2 min for crosschecking?

So, you claim he targets smaller players "all the time." But you admit that Spezza is not smaller, so it's an irrelevant point, and odd to bring up.

You also can only come up with one single example of it happening, which means it's probably an untrue point. Which almost certainly means you're coming into this with an agenda instead of looking at it objectively.

Blood.

I believe a hit resulting in blood is an automatic 5 ?

Spezza's visor bent down and cut his nose.

You're probably right, and I'm of the same opinion, but it's understandable why the ref made the call he did.

Then its the visor that should be penalized

Came here to see a bone crushing hit and got this instead...
