Prust has been a complete non-factor. I don't see the big care for him being suspended. if this was Subban, sure, but it's Prust, who has played like the scrub that he is all series.

Point 1: The hit is, by NHL standards, pretty late. A second after the play and, as illustrated by the image, Stepan had just released the puck and Prust is roughly 20 feet away. Prust had to go a long way to make the hit and clearly the intent is not to finish a check.

Sweeps are very rare, even more so when the Rangers are involved. NYR needed a win at home, this makes the next game very important.
The Habs aren't as good a team as the Rangers without Price, but they aren't going to be a pushover either. There is a reason they were able to beat Boston.

So true. Fluky goals were the cause here. Hopefully puck luck has run out for Montreal
Point 2: I don't know how anyone can conclusively say there was no head contact. The angle of the hit and the way Step's head went back, coupled with how it looks here, seems to indicate otherwise. I cannot see that clearly enough to conclude it. But the league will have a clearer look. By the same token, I watched this frame by frame on a large screen and cannot fathom how anyone can definitively conclude there was no head contact.
Dude, take your Jets fan supporting the Habs ass out of here and **** off. Every post is biased as ****. Stop trolling and screw off

late hit. almost 1 sec after he had the puck. they'll give you .5 sec. thats a league rule
prust came a long way and lined him up. intent.
contact was upper chest and jaw so its upper body and exactly what the league doesnt want. its a high hit but more importantly, its a late, high hit. concussions are hot topic right now and that was a concussion type late hit.
1 game based upon his prior history but given the ck/price thing, i would not be surprised to have prust dressed next game.

I'm being objective - replay shows the principal point of contact is the chest/arm, and he doesn't leave his feet to make the hit. It was late. It was a missed call. It doesn't deserve more than a game suspension, if that.
That was always my position on it, always will be, but on so many occasions, it is the result that determines the punishment. If you come back, like Stepan did, not at all the same as laying there for 5 minutes and getting carried off.
I am encouraged that there is a hearing. There was great clarity around Prust's predatory hit. Too blatant to ignore. I hope I am not proven wrong.
I see a lot of people complaining about the puck luck.
You make your own luck in hockey. Why was galchenyuk alone in front of the net? Who blew that coverage?
How many times did Tokarski sprawl on ice, only to save a shot low. I get it the first chance. But twice a player didn't shoot high when Tokarski was down and out (I was at a bar for the game, so I was not sober, I think it was Stepan then St. Louis?)
The only good thing is this game only lends more tape for the Rangers to study. Tokarski hasn't really played much. The more information they can get the better they'll be.

I am biased. You are biased. Everyone is biased.
I couldn't tell if he got Stepan's head. Not sure if he deserves a suspension. I assume he gets 1 game. Should have gotten a 5-minute major.
Great, post that in the main board or Habs board then. You're supporting the habs and just trolling in here. Grow up
Yes, but I'm a NYR fan posting in the NYR section; I'm not supporting the Habs and intentionally posting in the NYR area to intentionally try to get a rise out of people. Grasp the difference?
I'm having a discussion about a play that occurred in a playoff game, citing evidence and explaining my opinion. No offence intended.

Who cares it is a valid opinion. I think the intent was clear to hurt Stepan, that is obvious. Whether he hit him in the head, chest, or jaw is all semantics and a matter of conjecture imo.
That said: If you think he is here to intentionally get a rise out of you, why do you let him get a rise out of you?

RIP, Jimmy.
Coming to a place of hostile & angry (both understandable) Rangers fans is not a very bright idea. Go keep it on the main board where it is neutral territory. That would be the place to explain your opinion.
The injury argument is exactly what is wrong with the NHL department of safety today. They take into account the injury of a player more-so than the intent to injure.
Prust knew what he was doing. He's a fourth line MMA fighter for hire taking a run at our 1st line center. Tell me how that should not be suspend-able? Because Step didn't get concussed? So is the NHL motto "Boys will be boys"?
Disgrace. No room in the league for idiots trying to injure people. Step didn't get hurt, true, but the intent was clearly there.

He should have definitely gotten a penalty. I would rather have the penalty in the 1st period of game 3 instead of Prust being suspended for 1 game. Do we really benefit from that at all? Other than that the jackass isn't on the ice running around trying to injure people.
Was Prust like this when he was here and I was just too biased to see it? Or did he just recently become an idiot?

Lol. You're actively posting in Habs game day threads that you're rooting for them to beat us but coming in here to be objective? All your main board threads show bias and there is no reason for someone rooting for the Habs to come in here with the intent to repeatedly disagree with things, saying essentially the same things over and over, beyond trolling. So spare me the coy BS act
