Pastrnak 5 Min Major & Game Misconduct for Hit on Lindgren

[AhosDatsyukian]

Rags fans will blow this out of proportion considering they wanted Aho suspended for Fox sticking his leg out on him and hurting himself. But it is a dirty hit and probably worthy of a game or 2.

So you are just going to flat out ignore the one camera angle that shows what Pastrnak sees? Well you were a waste of time.

Wait, from that camera angle you posted, he is seeing his own numbers as well, right? Because we are seeing them?

Same time as ur pic from this angle. Crazy that you only showed a pic 0.1 sec befor impact and say "He SaW NuMbErS" then call me a waste of time LMFAO.

Literally no Ranger fans said he should get a multiple game suspension, you actually blew it out of proportion more than most thinking he should get 1-2 games.

But cute to make it about the Canes and Aho.

Rags should sign Ryan Reaves. He'll stop Pasta from bullying them.

At most a fine, Lindgren turned there and made it worse than it looked

Not suspension worthy, but Lindgren didn't turn there. Call as is was right.

 

[Strangle]

Hilariously ironic, and totally unsurprising to see you play the victim here.

If Bruins players really are being targeted this season, it's likely because they've been the league's biggest cheapshot artists for almost 2 decades (and get away with it 90% of the time).

But I digress. Pasta doesn't have a history, so he likely gets 1-3 games (but deserves 5+, as this hit was pretty nasty).

Bruins fans never think anything there team does is wrong.

I’m sure pasta probably should have a history, but when the league never follows through, your record looks much cleaner on paper than it actually should be.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

"Targeting". Whiny homer.

Two minute minor hit. Lindgren bailed on taking a hit and Pastrnak drove through the arm.

This title needs to be changed. Embarrassing.

Getting suspended doesn’t mean a player has to be a goon.

They just need to do something suspension worthy on the ice

Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak has been suspended two games for his illegal check to the head of New York Rangers defenceman Dan Girardi. The NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced the suspension on Friday.

2016 article? Really?

 

[bearcountry17]

Not a great hit by Pasta but this doesn’t happen if the refs called the boarding that took Poitras off the ice a few minutes before this. These refs need to managing the game and call the obvious penalties or the players are going to keep taking matters into their own hands.

I added one from 2022 for you too

Now do Auston Matthews. Pointless take

Great job with your Microsoft paint-esque print screens and copy pastes, guys. From what I can tell, if I look at a player from the front, I can't see the numbers on the back of his jersey. But if I look at him in a screen capture from behind, I can see his numbers. Maybe we can try to flip the picture upside down, and make it black and white, to really figure out what Pastranak was thinking.

... sounds familiar ... like something I've heard before ... hmm

You'll need to wait. I think he was suspended for slamming himself into the boards injuring himself.

Pasta was gonna truck his head into the boards but he turned last sec... to bad.

I've got time

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

nah don't think any sussy warranted...earned the 5, right call. over after tonight. those 2 can settle it at a later date

Pasta declined the chance to fight panarin. Hes your typical player with a tinted visor. Gutless

I think it should be multiple games. Not only is it a suspension worthy hit, for anyone who actually watched the game it was a dirty hit WITH intent to injure

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

It was a bad hit, fine, we get it.

Holy overreaction

I’m talking about more than the one hit.

 

[HTFN]

My man, take a deep breath.

I agree with the call on the ice, which is why I labeled it a bad hit in the first three words of that post. It might have been a charging call regardless of Lindgren’s approach, just as a consequence of the distance and number of load-up strides Pastrnak chose to make. I’m not arguing against the call.

But this did not have to be a hit-from-behind scenario. Lindgren looks directly at Pastrnak well in advance of contact, knows he’s coming in hot and has all the time in the world to decide what to do, and makes a deliberate choice to show his numbers and slide laterally while reaching at the puck. That’s pretty much asking for a boarding situation and potentially an injury much worse than what we saw here. NHL players should not have the instinct to do what he did. You see a guy coming at you with bad intentions, you don’t turn your damn numbers while standing arm’s length from the boards. That’s a career-shortening instinct on his part.

You're describing every dump and chase race without nuclear contact at the end, there are times you're going to see another guy's numbers. Lindgren doesn't turn to brace, isn't making sudden moves, just knows he's going to get to a loose puck and positions himself to make a play while giving his back to the incoming check the entire time. Lindgren didn't turn, he took a position he's allowed to take to make a play he's allowed to make with very little material last minute change at all, arguably none.

It's not advanced calculus to not truck through a guy's upper body there and smear his head into the wall. Players manage not to do it all the time, and much like any dump into the corners Pastrnak's options are to race hard for the puck and try to chop it or concede the race and take the win by pinning the player and being in good position to cycle.

Putting blame on Lindgren here is such a far cry from how you usually talk about hits and the "onus of the hitter" it's insane.

 

[Sol]

Pastrnak deserves to get hit like that so he can think twice before he attacks someone like that

 

[Stephen]

Ryan Lindgren is having a pretty tough week, after getting tagged by McCabe in the Leaf game. He seems like an extremely agitating defenseman who likes it chippy so I guess the attention makes sense.

When he first look at him.View attachment 785211befor he turns. yes he dont see numbers...

He sees numbers all the way, Lindgren is coming in well ahead of him and their shoulders are virtually parallel with Pastrnak way behind him. He has to, literally has to know at this point that he's not going to make shoulder to shoulder contact without driving from behind.

Lindgren, however, hasn't materially changed the angle of his shoulders the entire time he's crossing the back of the net and comes at the puck kind of flat footed as if to indicate that all he's going to do is chip it on the wall or worst case get smothered

Pastrnak can try to seal the play up the wall or seal the player, nothing about these images suggest he's got a green light to crush Lindgren (unless a third still had Lindgren pick the puck up and try to wheel out of the corner himself, which he was very obviously not going to do).

Sees numbers all the way, took off like a rocket and hit high...
