Way to use an invalid measurement. You should talk about how far the puck traveled not the fact that a pass was already made to a Czech player that was 3 feet away from him, who barely possessed the puck at all, just chipped it ahead to the boards.

It is always amazing how opinions can vary so greatly. Not quite the OJ trial but still puzzling how people are questioning a two game suspension here. I am Canadian and a fan of a physical game but hits to the head have to be dealt with harshly and swiftly. Frk's move although dirty and potentially painful is not the same level so those asking for 4 games need to re evaluate.
The hit on Leblanc after he scored was dirty and also deserved punishment - he was in a vulnerable position.

That does count as a possession (and it was a little more than just a "chip"). So yes, it was very late.
People need stop this, it's not a blind side hit. His blind side was on the exact opposite side, the only reason he was blind to the hit was because he was looking down staring at his pass.
Okay I'm not here to argue the possession, but the player was 3 feet away. Just saying that he possessed the puck says absolutely nothing about how late the hit was. Was it late in my opinion, slightly, yes. But in a night where Marincin used the 4 second rule, Kassian's 1 second seems very borderline considering where his and Senkerik's path were heading.
Sorry but that's absurd Kassian wasn't head hunting. He wasn't looking for victims. He wasn't targeting the head. Much less trying to take anyone's head off as you SO UNFAIRLY imply.
He was just finishing his check, EXACTLY as taught. This is a high speed, contact sport played by BIG BOYZ and sometimes people get hurt, even when ( as in this case ) there was NO INTENT to injure... END OF STORY

What a joke 2 games for a great hit chicken **** officials. Oh well we will just have to demolish the Wegians and then the Swedes to make a point.
I think a lot of people are viewing his CHL hit - where he did leave his feet, and thinking that video is the hit that occurred last evening. It's what I've come to expect from this site....
He did not leave his feet last evening.
Never heard of finishing the check? That is the purpose. It happens every single hockey game in the NHL and in Europe.
Whether this was finishing the check or not(due to the borderline lateness) is the question. But to say that since a player doesn't have the puck, you are automatically intending to injure is an ignorant statement.

Isn't that the point of any hit? To inflict punishment or intimidate.
At the end of the day the damage done was mostly due to the huge size difference between the players. Kassian is 4 inches taller and weighs 48lbs more than the Czech kid.
Kassian was hardly moving fast, he was pretty much gliding, when he turned to hit the Czech player. As Sabres fan I'm used to watching Kaleta flying into hits like a missle. I'm actually amazed at the damage done by the hit.

typical IHF- out of touch
hit not suspendable,more then likely a reputation suspension
marouielli must have been influenced by dave branch,afterall marouelli works
for the ohl as a supervisor of officials
hit to head not intended,shoulder to chest intented
keep your head up and be aware who is on the ice

Our Kidz ARE taught to finish their checks. Euro Kidz are too. That's how the game is played at this level, like it or not ! Otherwise, if it was so blatantly illegal/ immoral as u imply. Why no interference call initially ? Indeed neither ref raised his hand. The penalty only came AFTER it appeared that Czech kid was hurt. Sans this, NO PENALTY woulda been assessed IMO

I should have worded it properly, that kind of hit. A player can finish their check with going high to the head area, can't they?

So if someone 6'3" is hitting someone thats 5'11" they have to bend down into a squat position in order to hit them?
Players can enter the offensive zone with their head up, can't they?
And that wasn't a high hit by any stretch of your imagination.

I don't think Chara could legally hit Cammalleri if that was the case. He would have to be sitting on the ice when he hit him

I was watching the game, wearing my team Canada jersey, and as soon as I saw the hit I thought like Maguire....shoulder to chest. But on the replays it was clear to me the top of his shoulder caught his chin (clear to me...not so clear to others obviously). However his intention was not to hit his chin. If the Czech player had been able to just skate away would there have even been a penalty? I doubt it. One game was more than sufficient
