[swisdan]

The Slovenia player just had got a 2 games suspension for this dangerous gesture. Hard to understand.

Yikes! He should be on his way home.

Intent to injure or attempted murder?

It's a shame this will be forgotten in a day or two only because there was no actual injury.

 

[Liminality]

Should be a bannable offense imo.

It s rough but I dont think its intentional.

On a second look it might.

Saw it once, looks like a player I don't want to see play hockey anymore.


EDIT: watched it 20times - stance has not changed.


Should have set an example - Have to think if it were an NHL player involved, there would be some stink.

Should be a year suspension...for the official that only gave him two games!

I think he saw an opportunity to push him with his skate since the natural motion of his leg went up the boards anyway. Definitely worthy of a suspension, but I don't think Jeglic intended to cut his neck. Unsportsmanlike, sure. A year long suspension? Unwarranted.

 

[Pestilence]

Seems to be a KHL player so he's playing on a high level, not that it matters to the suspension, but he should know better.

 

[Idlerlee]

That blade had every chance of digging itself into his neck.

Get that animal out of this tournament

The damage potential of pushing his skate into his face/neck region is goddamn severe. Dont defend this.

 

[Sotty]

Wow, that should be a 1-2 year suspension. 2 games is just laughable.

The skate is not in his face, what are you talking about?

It's a dick move, not a criminal offence.

 

[ThaiTanicDK]

Thats awful

And the 2 game penalty is.... wait for it..

awful.

What did he think was likely to happen, then? That is like saying, Sorry, officer, I tried to push him with the knife, I wasn't trying to stab him.

It goes into the space between his face and shoulder. I dont know what to tell you if you think thats not dangerous

Look at his facial expression... Probably not targeting neck/face, but still, you just dont do stuff like this.

 

[Pia8988]

****ing insane. And only 2 games.

Are you kidding me? His neck is far more sensitive to a blade than his cheek would be. This is well beyond a "dick move". What would you say if this same player did it again? This is by far the most egregious thing I've ever seen in hockey. He should be banned. I genuinely can't believe you said because it wasn't near his face it wasn't a big deal.

Attempting to use a razor-sharp object as a weapon towards someone's face/neck area is pretty criminal in my book.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Absolutely brutal. Should get a lot more than two games for that one...

If he did this to Eichel, it would be newsworthy. Heck, I would suspect Buffalo giving Jack a call to come home early. Meh tourney and some no namer is swinging knives around the head/neck area.

 

[tobu]

Having hard time understanding this. He is generally known to be a very nice non-conflicting guy in the KHL. Looking at the video it looks like there was intent, but looks often deceive...

 

[Trap Jesus]

Hands down the most bizarre discipline I've ever seen. That is a straight up criminal offense, but even outside of that... 2 games? What in the actual ****? This is something that warrants an organized sports ban or something along those lines, as was the case with this guy:



I'd be getting the police involved. I may sound hyperbolic, but I don't know how anyone can justify this. This type of incident is criminal, and should have no liberties taken with it "being in the course of a hockey game".

 

[Patrik Barkov]

Should never play again.
