Other Hockey talk (NCAA, ECHL, AHL, KHL, etc.)

Yeah, i ain't watching that. Is the tweet trying to say the "kung fu kick" was intentional? It sort of reads that way which seems really messed up.

I honestly can't tell, it looked like he was going for a cut-across-hit on one guy, missed, then just swung his leg up and caught Johnson skating forward directly into the "kick". It's not like it clipped the guys back leg and spun up and around across his throat, it was the "forward" leg of the hitting direction. Either that or when he wasn't making full contact on the hit he started leaning back and then his foot clipped the guys skate and threw him off balance and he started falling that direction which lifted his skate up like it did.

It happened so fast I doubt it was intentional though he was careless and out of control to allow it to happen IMO.

Just a terrible incident; as I said in the main board thread I’m not sure he would’ve made it if it had happened in an OR with a trauma team.

It looks like the defender was going for a hip check. The team with the puck was running a pick play. The defender trying for the check and the guy trying to give Johnson space had a minor collision. The defender lost his balance, leaned forward to catch himself and was spinning from the hit. His back skate elevated due to the collision and caught Johnson square in the neck. No way that was intentional

What an awful, awful sequence of events.

Blows my mind that neck guards aren’t mandated by USA Hockey, but mouth guards are (starting in 12U I believe).

Guess who is currently dead last in the AHL?

You love to see it.

Everyone could have seen this coming. I don’t know how they thought they’d be competitive going solo. That is a god awful roster.

Man tomorrow looks like no joke. WCPS is an early dismissal and they're calling for 50mph winds, hail, and isolated tornados. Does look like it'll pass south of Raleigh, but all y'all stay safe.

Found our next Nikishin, we must draft this kid

I've been to Reading. I've got family in Reading. I've seen the Royals play in person.

Spearing the goalie in the last minute of a tie game is very much on brand for Reading.

They always said that Jared was the most talented Staal brother, we just didn't realize they meant coaching, not playing ability.

I'd probably bet money he can score a breakaway better than Jordan too
