Like I said in the GDT at the time of that incident, that was just Zibanejad displaying some Jack Johnson level on-ice awareness. It's like when Johnson did this when trying to make a line change:
Coincidentally, Pelech was involved in this situation as well.

A very baffling and completely incorrect comment from Peter.
LaViolette is a joke. They did not even see each other.
Lmfao. Two dumdums not watching where they're going.

lol, that reaction from Laviolette is pretty funny. He pauses for a few seconds at first, internally thinking “Are they really gonna buy this? Ah, screw it. Vicious hit!”

He’s mad about this but has amnesia over the slew foot and his captains missed elbow on Barzal.

Both players looked completely unprepared for contact there.
Lol Laviolette is such a clown. Maybe Pelech was just bracing himself for the boards…?

Ya, I’d buy the Pelech elbow if that’s the part that got Zibby, but he just ran into his shoulder on his own. The elbow sticking out didn’t even get to play a factor, we don’t have to guess about intention, that hit was happening anyways.

Right, Zib's health is paramount first and foremost but it really undermines the whole thing and Lavi not having a slight clue of Zibanejad's concussion issues. Guy could have gotten slightly tapped in the head and those issues flare up again. It doesn't make the play dirty, that's just how head injuries work sadly
Agreed, I was making light of Lavi in this case.

Haha yeah that’s a dumb thing to say by Lavi. Watch where you’re going Zib you idiot.
Wow. That may be the silliest comment I’ve ever seen from a head coach.
It still amazes me sometimes how childish and ridiculous some of these coaches really are.

Honestly looked like Pelech just wanted to bump him with his elbow to knock him off balance/down accidentally on purpose but Zibs face ran into his shoulder

I’m sorry, Trouba has never thrown a questionable hit and is always in the running for the Lady Byng. Such a clean player you have.

Pretty clear case of two guys not paying attention to one another. Stupid comment from Lav but he’s pissed off thinking his 1C might be hurt in a meaningless game for his team, definitely clouding his judgement
