Mika Zibanejad Vicious head to Pelech's shoulder.

[MikeSteaks]

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.

Gold standard for devastating clean checks

 

[FourRings]

This is as accidental a hit as they come.

 

[doublechili]

There's only one word to describe that. "Collision".

It's not unusual to see Lavi trying to play the refs - they have another game coming up and could play each other in the playoffs. If he's willing to risk looking a little silly for his team, that's fine. Coaches do it all the time.

Laviolette looks like a clown by taking that stance. He probably thinks Zib should be brought up on attempted murder charges for the slew foot on Palmieri then.

Lol just like Fox earlier this hear, Rags players have a tendency to have zero awareness on the ice and cause themselves to get injured then drum up some nonsense whining about the other team being dirty for simply being on the ice with them

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Weird play live.

 

[SI90]

Roy said he was more concerned Pelech would’ve gotten hurt on that play

 

[eviohh26]

I was getting ready to watch a nasty hit. That was a nothing play that sucked for one party.

 

[HanSolo]

Lol vicious standing around

 

[Grifter3511]

Maybe when Mika recovers he'll remember how to play 5on5. Then Chris can run into Mika's elbow and hopefully the same will happen to him.

 

[HTFN]

I was so ready to call this thread title trolling but...

If that's how Laviolette's playing this one I'll counter and say they should suspend Zibanejad and make sure Pelech's not day-to-day with the bruised impression of the face of a dumbass on his shoulder.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

LOL that play is f***ing funny. Neither of them looking where they're going

 

[eviohh26]

I had a feeling when he said he hit him with a shoulder elbow it was going to be a dumb hit. WTF is a shoulder elbow.

 

[majormajor]

So Pelech was like, this guy is skating straight at me from distance, if I slow down and stick my elbow out, HE WON'T SEE ME AT ALL AND WILL RUN HIS JAW INTO MY SHOULDER.

You'd normally expect a player to see what is straight in front of him, so it's really genius from Pelech.

 

[SI90]

Whitney lol

[HTFN]

I already posted in this thread and that's probably sufficient but I just saw it again and this dude is literally in the process of a slow stop while Zibanejad swerves into him and Laviolette can again shut the f*** up.

Big nope from me

 

[Look Up]

Lav should get two game suspension for embellishment.

 

[Zbynek]

This man coaches Jacob Trouba for a living.

 

[Contenderorpretender]

Lol. Vicious. It's the equivalent of stubbing your toe getting into bed and saying the bed targeted you. Fckn guy didn't move a muscle.

 

[luiginb]

It's all because of Mika's glourious hair

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Lavi making an effort to embarrass himself in every post game scrum

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Lol Laviolette is such a clown. Maybe Pelech was just bracing himself for the boards…?

The head coach who is coaching a team to first in the NHL, what a clown he is. We all can’t be blessed to have Travis Green behind the bench.

Rent free

 

[Ignite111]

They should ban Pelech from the league!! Lock him up and throw away the key!

What do you think Crypto Boy Reinhard or Buch?
