Fantilli obliterates Leonard and then scores.

Oh my God, Leonard just tried to fight Kuraly. Didn't go well lol. Honestly though good for him for standing up for himself.

 

[Il Stugotz]

He just lost a fight to Kuraly while Strome was holding Kuraly back

I LOVE IT

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

The excitement level on that sequence by the commentator was about 1.5 out of 10.

 

[SteelCityCannon]

This game has been amazing physicality and they play again tomorrow.

 

[SenzZen]

Take a seat and learn your lesson, boy!

Looks like a regular goal to me. Defense just left him wide open and he sniped short side goal on a goalies first NHL game.

How are there no extra penalties there?
3 guys were holding back Kuraly lol

Fantili definitely makes a hitting motion just before but It's close enough to just a collision i guess. Like I said i think it's borderline

You seem to be the only person who thinks this. That should tell you something.

Wilson knows Olivier will come calling if he tries anything, so he'll take the safe route and just yell at officials.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good hit. Hopefully Leonard is ok

Messier keeps saying Leonard had his head down, but he didn’t. He saw the hit coming and braced for it. The lesson is don’t reach for the puck in that situation

Leonard clearly has a long way to go if he ever wants to win a Mark Messier Leadership Award ...

 

[stevo61]

Good hit. Hopefully Leonard is ok

He came back, got in a fight and has been pretty quiet since. Played a full game so was just a learning experience for him.

Fantilli got his welcome to the NHL moment vs Washington so this seems fair

Olivier wanted it. Can't blame for Wilson not wanting to go right before the playoffs, but if your not maybe don't make such a big deal about it lol

They'll dress McIlrath tomorrow for this reason. Will become his job

Looks like Leonard never touched the puck. So that's a borderline interference penalty.

They were meeting exactly where the puck was. He reached for it. Fantilli braced for the hit and finished it. There's no interference here.

[Leonardo87]

why do you say he scored a beauty, that just a regular goal

title is misleading should be

Fantilli obliterates Leonard then scores​

​

MODS!!!!!​

I’m on break .

 

[Chainshot]

Surprised Leonard wasn't gesturing at the refs for a call, based on his U20 and NCAA body of work.

 

[Deestroyer]

Glad Fantilli gets to have some fun before playing golf next week lol

 

[93gilmour93]
