Filip Forsberg dirty headshot on Lane Hutson

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Nothing new for Forsberg. He headshotted Bergeron a couple seasons ago well. Never even a whisper from incompetent Parros.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Reminds me of when Mike Matheson slammed Pettersson to the ice away from the play after he got undressed on a deke a few seconds earlier. Turns out NHL regulars get pissy when rookies have a lot of skill.

 

[Captain97]

So was this.

It wasn't anywhere near as bad.

1. Guhle got a penalty
2. Not a headshot
3. Evangelista took a shot he knew wouldn't count, players take hits for that all the time.

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

This is actually pretty f***ing bad. Goes outta his way and only targets the head with a Jon Jones 9-to-3-elbow.

Mr. Parros, do your deed...

Parros: "Aye boys, get to work..."

 

[InsideLaineBOOM]

Ok I posted some insulting lore about Forsberg and it got deleted (rightly so imo). Let me rephrase what I said earlier: What a ridiculous little prick Filip is. He will get some love from us next season. I wanted to see us respond directly but I get it, we dont wanna risk a playoff spot at this point.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Bitch play by a bitch player.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Not getting the attention it deserves, the puck wasn't even remotely in the vicinity of the play, not sure how anyone can even remotely justify that lmao - more disappointed in his teammates for not just jumping him immediately/getting him at the beginning of the next period.

Hutson plays for a Canadian team.

Refs only penalize the retaliation.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

So was this.

That one is at least close in timing…. The Hutson one isn’t even close at all

 

[bleedgreen]

Is there any context or other views of this? Were the two of them going at it before it happened? It would be great if there were more angles too.

 

[landy]

Yikes that was bad. Was it retribution for something else?

 

[Frosty415]

Pronger physics

 

[MXD]

Other than Hutson being more talented than him, no.

It's probably bad for the ego to get walked by a dude that probably has never shaven yet.

Only other questionable play that game was the Guhle hit posted above. which wasn't anywhere near as bad and was it self "punishment" for Evangelista taking a shot that he knew would get whistled down on the same play.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

So was this.

Do you actually serious think this is comparable? Really?

 

[Fatass]

Dirty, dirty hit. That merits a suspension for sure. He had the elbow out and was clearly aiming for the head.

And blind side and extremely late. Suspension should be over five. But it’s the DOPS.

 

[Fatass]

Wow how dirty and useless. Infuriating. Pointless.

An example of an older player who can no longer keep up with the young stars so blindsides the kid with a headshot. Forsberg needs to be done for the season.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

I hope not lol.
Those 2 plays aren't close at all.

Skid play by Forsberg. Did anyone catch him later in the game? Surprised the Habs let that slide.

Game was too important for Montreal, nothing happened

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

As punishment, the league should force him to shave that ridiculous mustache.

Forced trade to the Islanders!!

The hit from Guhle also happened later, if any of these hit was a retribution, it was Guhle's (and it clearly wasn't).

Your right, for some reason I thought the Forsberg hit was later.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Wow, he gave him the Messier special.

Way to go refs. This league continuing to do a terrible job protecting players' brains.

Really dirty and unnecessary attempt by Forsberg, deserving of a couple of games.

The ref not calling it I can understand,, after all a head shot to Hutson is going to occur below his sight line

Forsberg had the honor of pissing off Bergeron as much as I ever saw him pissed. Forsberg is a bitch player who does bitch things, in a bitch league when it comes to consistency of protecting its players.
