I notice you didn’t say dirty. Knies got rocked with his head down. It sucks he’s hurt, but that doesn’t make the hit dirty.

Oh, sorry. It’s dirty.

Headshots are dirty. That was a headshot. As indicated by the shoulder of Whitecloud hitting the head of Knies. It’s amazing that people are cool with this stuff.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

The NHL has been clear that it's okay to jump into someone's head as long as your feet aren't completely off the ice at impact and you catch a little bit of chest or shoulder. Whether this makes any sense in regards to the stated goal of stopping dangerous hits to the head is yours to decide.

Whether he jumped or not, it was going to be a headshot. The jump just makes it worse.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Haha. What a dumb penalty. Straight up tackled him.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

That was defense, I s'pose

 

[HockeyVirus]

Back to the game, Woll has been great

What else is new?

 

[hangman005]

Decline lol

Really? You have some sort of link? I find this hard to believe.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Well that was a stupid penalty

It's amazing that the idiot players are OK with it. If they weren't they would make the NHL change the rule to ANY head contact is a game misconduct.

 

[Orfieus]

As long as your feet are on the ice at the moment of contact you can leave your feet afterwards... except the Vegas player was airborne on contact so I'm not sure what he is talking about

 

[pcruz]

The NHL not being consistent?

View attachment 933375

Hope Knies is ok. Need to see more replay of the hit and digest it more to get a better opinion. Bad call on the surface reaction though

The great thing is that the kid has had 2 serious collisions at this point of his NHL career, one resulted in a concussion and this one is still up in the air.

Combined, the 2 events led to a total of 0 penalty minutes.

 

[rboomercat90]

They are completely different hits. But Whiteclouds wasn't a clean hit lol

Yes, they were too completely different hits. I took exception to the original poster talking about how Reaves hit was cleaner. Reaves skated 40 feet to hit Nurse. Sportsnet replays only showed the close up of that hit during the game. The wide angle camera shot that they only showed once after the game shows where Reaves was when Nurse got the puck and how far he travelled to get to him. That’s what likely prompted the 5 games from the league. These two hits weren’t remotely comparable and that’s why I spoke up.

Yep. It's a deeply, deeply stupid standard if you remotely care about player safety, but it's the standard the league has set since we all know they don't give two craps about actual player safety and only care about making it kinda sort look like they're doing something.

 

[Edgelord]

I think the Leafs are due a PP any min

 

[stats1]

No wonder Vegas is in the Cup Final every 2 years they have the refs sucking their dick

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Well that was a stupid penalty

It doesn't matter. Vegas are plugs. They are never going to score.

 

[BB79]

What else is new?

Woll isn't injured for a change?

[um]

If he didn't jump up into the hit then it would be a perfectly clean hit. He jumped into the hit though.

Feet still on the ice.

They'll get one with like 45 seconds left in the period so they don't get the 2 minutes together

Thats a stupid rule or distinction. If the guy gets crushed in the head, who gives a f*** if he brushed his shoulder 1st or left the ice.

 

[Edgelord]

ironically a PP with 1 min left in the 1st or 2nd is ideal. You get your #1 unit for the whole 2 mins where they are fresh

Our PP takes 1 minutes to gain the zone and get set up is the problem

That's what happens when you forecheck.

You ever watch hockey before this season ?

It has nothing to do with the distance. Distance is irrelevant as long as you're gliding into the player, like he did.

He got 5 because Parros is a complete f***ing clown and takes the player into consideration. Reaves is a plug, so handing him 5 is nothing. Handing 5 to a better player who makes that exact same hit isn't happening.

Look how long it took for Wilson to finally get length in his suspensions.
