Yeah, "love tap" or not you just can't spear a guy in the nads.
You would've thought Hedman shot him by listening on the Devils' broadcast. The holier-than-thou preaching about what constitutes dirty is real ****ing gold coming from Ken Daneyko, who played with Scott Stevens.
I thought Hischier was going to cry on the bench.
that looks more like a love tap to the jewels to me on the replay
uncalled for, but not a nasty spear by any means
also, I don't believe in the so called 'hockey gods'
daneyko and stevens, known for their defensive style and severing nutsicles with their sticks. right.
You’ve taken just as many shots to the head and liver as Daneyko if you think Stevens’ reputation is limited to his “defensive style.”
the hits stevns had were legal at the time- i think he took a total of 2 elbowing penalties in his career. were nutchops ever legal?
I agree....but this is a spear in the nuts...and that's kinda dirty.Not even going to watch it. Hedman's simply not a dirty player.
Stevens' mens rea was to injure opposing players, demonstrated by his actions on the ice.
A little love tap might be a *****ey move, but Hedman certainly isn't trying to end Hischier's career by gently grazing his groin region.
Daneyko should consult a doctor for his CTE symptoms.
Hedman out here basically sexually assaulting a child
Not trolling, but I don't even have to watch it to know that it wasn't as dirty as other stuff that's already happened. These witch-hunt threads after every game have gotten ridiculous. That's what I was getting at.I agree....but this is a spear in the nuts...and that's kinda dirty.
This is such a weird stance....since when is there levels of dirty? Hedman intentionally speared the guy in the nuts, that's dirty no matter what any other player in any other game did.Not trolling, but I don't even have to watch it to know that it wasn't as dirty as other stuff that's already happened.

I definitely don't condone dirty stuff, but that game got pretty heated at the end, so I'm not gonna hold it against Hedman. I don't have to watch it to know that it was a dumb thing to do, and Hedman's experienced enough to know better. That actually bothers me more, because being a smart player is one of his strengths.
Right. Because when you sign up for the NHL you sign up for getting speared in the nuts.That's it?
Welcome to the NHL, kid.
It was a love tap.Right. Because when you sign up for the NHL you sign up for getting speared in the nuts.
Blatant and deliberate. Should get something from the DoPS. I saw it live and boy, was Hischier ticked off. For a second or two, I thought he was going to go up to Hedman and start something (and get destroyed).
Dumb question, but these guys are wearing cups?
Cheap play and to excuse it s homerism. I'm not even a NJ fan but I cringed when I saw the replay. And you fail when you try to say it wasn't as cheap as other shots. Speaking of nutting up - TB fans just need to admit it was dirty. It's not like they were the one who did it.
