Was or wasn’t Rodrigues taken into concussion protocol? He
came back on the ice quickly. That in and of itself says he wasn’t hit in the head.

This is such pure stupidity, because every hit to the head has to have concussion protocol?

He was hit in the jaw not the temple/upper head.

You are reaching so far into outer space, he went down the tunnel and came back.

Not every hit to the head falls into concussion protocol.

No. That in and of itself says the contact wasn’t enough for a concusssion. Or do you thjjj every single touch of the head causes concussions?

So the trainers didn’t bother to give him a concussion test in the locker room instead of using an abundance of caution? What the hell kind of medical staff does that? Or the more logical explanation - Rodrigues told them he wasn’t’t hit in the head to begin with.

So what, his elbow got him in the neck AND THEN slid down to his back? Do you understand how linear time works?

The elbow was literally never in his back. The elbow glanced off the side of his shoulder into his neck/jaw, and his FOREARM, which is the actual anatomical structure in that photo, THEN contacted the small of his back. That picture shows the end of the sequence. It also does not show the elbow, which was the body structure closest to the player, and the part of the body that first made contact. Your question is ironic, based on anatomy, physics, and, well, the actual video. Your hypothesis is that he led with his elbow, somehow made first contact on the player’s back with the forearm, which was not extended, then somehow, without breaking his arm or the other player’s shoulder and rib cage, had his elbow magically wrap around and then contact the player’s neck. :dunno:

He has a history of leading with the elbow. He’s already been suspended for elbowing. He’s had (at least) 3 separate attempts at targeting the head in these playoffs alone (ignoring the ones from previous years)

But sure, $5000 is definitely enough punishment.

I'm always impressed at the things that seem obvious when I'm watching the game with family over the long weekend, and then I check in the next day and holy shit two dozen people are defending this as either legal or whabouting it.

My favorite so far was "There's no defending this hit. However...(followed by a paragraph of defending the hit)".

you have people in here calling for Trouba's suspension just based on the intent. What is Rodrigues' attempt here? I'll continue to post it since nobody has given me close to a thoughtful response.

I mean, this shows it the best, and other than Bieksa being wrong about it hitting the shoulder he was right it should have been a 5 on 3 being so long from the first penalty to the other.

The Panel is otherwise on par with it being intentional, Bieksa calls it a forearm but the elbow is what does the damage. If this doesn't clue in the homers I don't know what will.



Edit: Sorry for having to watch it from YT.

The reading comprehension must be low in yours.

I never said worst elbow, I can think of many with more violent results, if that’s what you mean by “worst”. Remember those are your words, not mine.

I said deliberate elbow attempts. Yes I’ve never seen so many lunges at elbows like this. Go so far outside your body position to try to land an elbow. There’s a difference.

You literally saw in the same game.

I eagerly await your breathless take on that one
 
Man if the NHL's safety association was around when Ted Bundy was in his hayday I can only imagine the massive fines he would've seen.
 
Lomberg knocked Vesey out of the playoffs. Bennett launched himself into Lindgren with a high hit. That's where the cut under his eye came from. The first was probably a good hit. The second should have been penalized and wasn't. It's playoff hockey though. Trouba elbows Rodrigues and he collapses like he's been shot with an arrow. A few minutes later Evan has a big grin on his face. He's not hurt. Hamming it up maybe? Trouba gets fined. That's fair enough.
