GDT: Game #2 of 82: Blues @ Coyotes - 10pm ET

[LBlues24]

Yeah that’s not a smart play whatsoever

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

pick up the slack vova

 

[Joshuar56]

So cross checking a guy in the moth is less dangerous than a head but to the shield? Sure...

 

[TheDizee]

pretty dumb thing to do, looks like he'll sit for a game too

 

[Blanick]

Eh not much there. Not sure that was deserving of a match penalty.

 

[542365]

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that call. Definitely got him though. Probably will be suspended for that.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

He has 1 goal and 1 headbutt

* * * * man

yep neal will be back in vs Vegas. 100% getting a game suspension too.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

He must’ve thought it was Tom Wilson for a second

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Isn't a match penalty automatic 1 game suspension?

 

[542365]

Eh not much there. Not sure that was deserving of a match penalty.

I don’t know that they can call a minor for head butting though. Think it has to be a match penalty. Not 100% sure though.

 

[Robb_K]

Was Buchnevich a pro wrestler in his offseasons?

 

[Vektor]

The cross check was worse. Ill take a helmet to my face all day over a cross check.

happened in another game not to long ago (not a blues game )

Considering Rasmus Andersson got only a fine for a worse headbutt, it shouldn’t be a suspension

 

[scottyajak]

Well f***. that was dumb

 

[BlueDream]

Lol Buchnevich has a temper, that’s been known.

At least he contributed with a goal before the ejection I guess.

 

[HighNote]

Headbutt is absolutely deserving of a match penalty, and yes it is worse than the crosscheck. Dumb play by Buch, he might sit a game as well.

[parliamentlite]

It's the right call, a really dumb move there.

Still kinda funny that a cross check or elbow to the face doesn't lead to the same sort of discipline.

I've felt both to the helmet. The headbutt is absolutely not worse.

 

[AVictoryDive]

Yeah that cross check was pretty high though…

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

double shift kostin the rest of the game

 

[Bluesnatic27]

I guess it depends on if the NHL rules follow USA hockey rules on the subject. In USA hockey rules, headbutting is an automatic major and game misconduct.
