That was cold, but also true. That guy will be riding the bus in AHL making 50k a year while Mark Stone makes 9.5 million while barely dressing up for the regular season. Thoughts on this?

I think Mark Stone isn't above the game and if you lose the puck and are staring at your skates you're free game no matter who you are.
Shitting on some kid for trying to make an impact to allow his dream to come true when you're the one who made yourself a target is a loser move.

The hit's obviously clean but I don't think Stone's comments are exactly something to get worked up about. Just some innocent banter.

What a little crybaby he is. 
Grow up, Mark. You got rocked. Maybe keep your head up more often and you won't miss half the season again. No need to lash out at the kid for laying a beauty hit either. So salty.

I laughed when I read Stone's comment on the hit. I was expecting a cheap, dirty hit. Watched the video, clean hit by a guy trying to make the team.

Pretty pathetic reaction by Stone -- both on the ice and off it. That was an excellent hit.

Eh, that’s a pretty bullshit hit to throw at any time, let alone a preseason game. Stone never really had the puck to begin with, it glanced off his blade in a non-possession manner as he was being stick-checked. That’s not a situation where you’re expecting someone to come all the way across the ice to blow you up, especially when showing numbers along the boards until the very last second.
There’s a reason everyone on the ice immediately stopped playing and looked for someone to punch.

I don't think that hit was egregious, even if it might have been a charge (which never really gets called anymore), but I do get where Stone coming from.
Training camp roster sizes are way, way, too big. There are far too many guys that don't have a snowball's chance in hell of ever cracking an NHL roster. Some of them will be lucky to get AHL contracts. Within that group are guys that will run anyone if it gets them noticed even in the slightest. Some guy destined for a 70k AHL contract injuring a player that NHL fans actually come to see is a problem.

Terrific hit, Stone acting like an entitled baby here. You'd think a guy who was drafted late like him, who played nearly 100 AHL games, wouldn't be so quick to insult guys who are doing everything they can to earn a shot in the NHL.

Mark Stone wears Snuggies. I've suspected that for awhile - now I'm convinced.
Hodgson has already played in the NHL and is trying to make an impression. His paycheck shouldn't matter.
I'm hesitant to respond because I know I'll come off as biased but I feel the same way any time I see someone complain about "why start a fight after a clean hit?"...the players on the ice don't have the same view as us, and even beyond that, sometimes it's enough to get hit hard to get pissed off. It happens all the time where guys are left furious after being laid out by a clean check so to the extent that Stone was upset, I really don't get all the pearl clutching.
The post-game comments were pretty unnecessary though, from my view. Stone had plenty of time to cool down and just say it was handled on the ice without shitting on the career of the guy who hit him.

Mark Stone’s getting soft post-Cup. Musta spent too much time this summer filling it with tea and raising his pinky when he lifted it to his mouth.
