This is wrong. Miller touched the puck toward the boards and his path continued toward the puck. Rooney and he were on a collision course and Rooney, unfortunately, was not ready for the hit.Seems like Miller has no intention to play the puck there.
Just looking for a hit really. Watch his head. On Rooney the whole time.
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.
Miller plays the puck and is about to be engaged one way or another by Rooney. Whether that’s via hit or stick check is impossible to know in the moment. You can easily make the argument that Miller is simply trying to outmuscle the guy he expects to get hit by. It’s not as if he goes out of his way. He’s played the puck and he is being engaged by an opposing player.
I don’t really see this as falling within the spirit of the rule of “interference”. Rooney should ultimately be prepared for contact in that situation and he surprisingly was not.
And yes, the chanting is “unclassy” but that’s an unrelated matter.

Hitting a player who does not have the puck with a nasty result.
This is a super weird play, though, but I'm interested in the arguments for why Rooney is eligible to be hit here like 2 seconds after losing possession.
What are you talking about? Counting it out lol?
There's a clock synced on screen. The video starts at 12:26, when Rooney touches the puck it's still 12:26, and when Miller hits Rooney it's 12:25.
it's been happening for decades.Clean hit. No intention to injure. This going after a guy after a clean hit or a hard clean hit b.s. has to stop. There was no justification for the Flames to go after Miller following that incident. It's been a trend for a while now the last few seasons. If it's something dirty or controversial - sure that's anothe story. But this is just stupid.
Yeah, you're right, it has. Seems like it's an automatic thing now though from the last few seasons in particular.it's been happening for decades.
it only feels like more because it's often the only time we see fight nowYeah, you're right, it has. Seems like it's an automatic thing now though from the last few seasons in particular.
Pretty much this but someone has to make a thread right?one guy playing for contact, the other not
same situation as a reverse hit imo, just head-on instead of the usual angle. puck carrier has the right to square up for contact too
3-4 game suspension, in my opinion. Canucks fans in the arena are complete scum.
Nowadays they suspend for injuries sustained. They had to bring out a stretcher before he was able to regain himself. Clearly he’s injured from a late hit.Out of curiosity, what would you be suspending him for?
I mean the puck literally touches Miller's stick and he ignores it to destroy a guy without the puck lolHow is it a dirty hit?
Not even close
While I tend to agree with a lot of this about fighting after clean hits. On first glance when on the ice it usually looks a lot different.Clean hit. No intention to injure. This going after a guy after a clean hit or a hard clean hit b.s. has to stop. There was no justification for the Flames to go after Miller following that incident. It's been a trend for a while now the last few seasons. If it's something dirty or controversial - sure that's anothe story. But this is just stupid.

JT Miller should understand that Marty Posposil is known to be dirty. Miller should keep his head up from now on when Marty’s on the ice.
