JT Miller Hit on Kevin Rooney

[Grinner]

Nice big clean hit
Won his fight afterwards

Clean hit, shame on the morons chanting Miller's name while the guy was laying on the ice without much motion

Must have been people from Surrey who were there just waiting for this hit.

Rooney should have braced for the hit instead of reaching for the puck and making himself vulnerable.

 

[S E P H]

Rooney never has the puck

It was a loose puck and each one was going after it, Rooney was off-balanced which caused most of the problems. However, JT falling on top of him made it worse. Kevin was in awful shape, so I wish him the best.

Weird interaction that has an unfortunate result.

Miller was looking at breaking up the play and was already lining up Rooney, expecting him to have control. Rooney touches it and Millers reflexively retrieves it, but he's also in a direct path with Rooney and expects contact.

Miller braces himself/throws a reverse hit/whatever you want to call it and since Rooney didn't really have full control, he wasn't expecting to get nailed either. I have a hard time faulting Miller since you usually expect physical contact in those situations. Just an unfortunate result.

Reminds me of the play when Steve Moore hit Marcus Naslund which led to the Bertuzzi incident

Half the building couldn't see the player down on the ice. They had no idea he was there

At live speed you can count it out.

Rooney touches it at the start of the video, the hit is as it becomes 2 seconds:

Literally in this clip, you cannot see the downed player on the ice. The fans who cheered thought the player got up already and didn't know he was there

No talk on the fact that Miller pushed a ref down onto the ice?

That’s just Miller

Gorgeous hit. This league sucks.

Why does the league suck tho? No penalty on the play

 

[Xirik]

That’s just Miller

touching a referee is still a no no.

 

[Coffees]

touching a referee is still a no no.

Why is no one talking about it?

defensive much?

Thread title makes it sound like JT made a pass at Rooney

Yes, meaning that the delay is somewhere between 1 and 2 seconds (it could in theory be 1.99 seconds given what you have described). I am referring to the embedded video time. Contact is very close to it ticking to 2 seconds. I'd say the actual delay is something like 1.8 seconds.

On the game clock something like 12:26.9 to 12:25.1 makes sense with this.

You said it was 2 seconds because you "counted it out".

It's impossible to be two seconds.

Then you claimed it's between 1 and 2 seconds, but it could also be less than 1 second.

To me, it appears around one second.

One second between a puck touch and a hit is not uncommon. Say whatever else about the hit, but going after it for being late is silly.

No, I said you can count it out at live speed in response to a poster saying that the only reason it looked late was because they thought the only video available was slow-motion.

Perhaps rounding up from 1.8 to 2 seconds is slightly misleading, but pretending that that 1.8 seconds is actually 1 second and then suggesting that because it's 1 second it's not late is far moreso.

Saying that a hit delivered almost two full seconds after a guy has lost the puck is late, let alone when another player has possession between losing the puck and the hit, is the furthest thing from being silly. The attempts to downplay what is obvious on video are silly.

Clean as it gets.

3-4 game suspension, in my opinion. Canucks fans in the arena are complete scum.

A complete clean hit. Nothing dirty at all.

Not even close

 

[Kiekura]

Clean hit.
