I was at game and my seats are right there on that post of hit - I’m in the pictures and am less concerned with the hit and more I need to drop 20 lbs

Ah yes the hypocrisy ... Trouba wasn't involved in this play ... anyway, his specialty is open ice hits that are bigger than needed but usually technically legal but sometimes get the head. If Trouba makes a play that is illegal & dangerous one hopes he gets dinged for it.
This hit was bad - Pasternak could see his numbers yet he still took several strides toward Lindgren
Good solid hit maybe too close to the boards, 2 minutes for boarding, move on

There's a bit of history there. Probably why he didn't let up and went for the kill. It's a bad hit.
There was history with Bergeron and Lindgren a couple years ago as well. Had a few high hits on Bergeron that set him off. Very rarely would Bergeron take himself out of position defensively or offensively to deliver a hit, but he blew up Lindgren pretty good up on a couple of occasions. I think even knocked him out of the game. Ranger fans were accusing Bergeron of being a dirty player at that point as well...
You play the way Lindgren does (which I appreciate), there's always going to be a target on your back.

He’s like Johnny Boychuk and Hyman Roth. Everytime I think Lingren is dead he’s back within 10 minutes
Tough to give a serious suspension to anyone hitting Ryan
He should be a rodeo cowboy or stunt man
I would be shocked if Parros suspended a Bruin for a hit like that. This organization makes dirty plays like that and always goes unpunished, that should be 2-3 games.
Department of player safety ? I think that's what it's called, player safety ? Time to start setting the right examples to protect the players.
I don't know if Pastrnak has any kind of disciplinary history. If he doesn't, I'd give him a fine and call it a night.
The thing that makes it "feel" worse for me is that Pastrnak and Lindgren had been going at all game and in the previous game, too. So it seems pretty clear Pastrnak had made up his mind he was going to punish Lindgren there. I don't think he meant to injure him, he just kind of threw caution to the wind and crunched him and it ended up a bad hit.
Fine or no fine, I'm moving on.

Dumb and reckless....it looked intentional but I don't really think it's worth more than a game if that. For one Lindgren wasn't really hurt apart from getting his face bloodied up again which seems to happen about a dozen times per year. I do think it was worthy of the 5 and the game though.

Dirty hit, stupid play. Don't like it. Does look like he missed though and got majority his arm and not square in the numbers. Still, dick move.
? Boston is the dirtiest organization in the league and has been for well over a decade now. They have a history of taking dirty runs at players in an attempt to injure and almost always go unpunished. Hoping this one is different and a suspension is handed out, not optimistic that it'll happen.

Reminds me of a smaller Dan Girardi. He blocked about a 1000 shots a year and would get lit up on hits all the time. About 20 times a year you'd be expecting an ambulance ride for him but he almost always returned to the game and hardly ever missed a game either. I really liked that guy.

It's definitely a charge, he took those 1-2 extra strides just before the hit to really ramp up the speed and launch into him instead of just gliding and finishing the check like a guy normally should in that circumstance.
It's on the numbers the whole times he's engaged. Lindgren did turn his head and do a shoulder check before retrieving the puck but he doesn't spin or turn away from the hit, those comments are delusional.
Add the context of their beef and Pastrnak taking runs at him before, it's a pretty bad hit.
Bruin fans would be screaming murder if the shoes were reversed. That said, a fine probably suffices for any further discipline.

lol so true
But they are tough as dirt
Lindgren is a beast - he’s the type of guy who would throw his body on a live grenade to save his platoon
Dan Girardi - all those Tortarella guys blocked a zillion shots
Ryan Callahan an animal
I wish Torts coached the Bruins
