Jesse Puljujarvi having DoPS hearing for illegal check to head of Mitchell Chaffee - suspended 2 games

My only takeaway from this is...1) This dude is still in the league? and 2) He's on Florida?

Looked like got shoulder on head contact.

Reasonable to have the hearing.

The **** was he even trying to do there? Dunce play.

I admit I haven't been watching every second of games recently. But have read that he likes to hit a lot. Well, that's the downside to wanting to hit everyone every time. Don't think it was intentional to hit his head, but he got him up high.

Meh who cares

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Absolutely ugly play, not sure what he was going for here... Not very typical of him and his playstyle. Was surprised to see him getting so much ice time in Florida tbh.

 

[Draiskull]

Pulju did something :/

He's been clinging on for dear life on the outer fringes of the NHL for a couple years since Edmonton gave up on him, but I think this is the end of the road for him there. He turns 27 next month.

He's been playing cause we are resting guys.

Just got sent down to the AHL

Worthless plug, his suspension won’t matter; just glad that hit wasn’t on a top 6 guy.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...for a guy with such a big head, there's very little brain in there...

Given the fact that he doesn't pay any attention to the puck either before or after the hit it seems reasonable to conclude that he was trying to do exactly what he ended up doing.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Wait, when did Puljujarvi go to FLA? lmao

Not sure it was intentional, probably just careless, but he didn't just get him up high, from the look of it, he got head and only head.

...watch his eyes just before the hit; he was locked in on the hit...it was intentional...PoolParty is just a moron with no Hockey Sense whatsoever...

 

[Jussi]

That doesn't even look like hit. He just skated by him. Fake hit!

I hate to assume the worst, but.......

 

[Chainshot]

Eh, dirty team doing dirty things. Not new.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

To be fair, this is the reaction to everything he does.

Florida sent him down, what happens if gets a game/games for the hit? Will the suspension follow him to AHL?

Ah I guess that makes sense. Saw him on the top line in a lineup post on social media and didn't really think of that.

 

[SEALBound]

Not a good one there, Jesse. That's a guaranteed 2-3 games minimum.

 

[bleedgreen]

Kinda need another angle. Doesn’t look vicious but at the same time there’s obvious head contact. He does raise into it.

Weird, that’s usually the Edmonton Oilers fans approach to hearings.

I don’t think he set out intending to do this, as that would be pointless and out of character.

But what a completely formless, aimless hit on a guy that he really wasn’t in any position to target.
