ristolanins punk cheap shot on edvinsson

[nbwingsfan]

Doesn't fit the definition. Try again.



Can't tell much from the posted video, it's 50/50 if it was contact to the head but the way he reacted and the fact that essentially ended his night, I'd guess he got it on the chin. Could have been a penalty? Maybe, maybe not... just hope Ed is out for any duration.

OT but one of my favourite hits of all time. The only one that was better was the Kucherov one which inexplicably led to a suspension.

As for the topic, no one can tell from that horrible video.

Can't tell. Probably isn't thread worthy with a better look at it.

Can’t see much of anything from that angle, but I’m leaning towards that being clean. Certainly wasn’t late.

And Detroit didn’t respond at all, though they are a soft team.

Your 6’4” messiah after getting bumped by Little Jacky lol. My favorite part is when he holds his face after getting hit in the chest.

Sucks for Edvinsson. Insult to injury I suppose after not having a single teammate stand up for him after getting absolutely rocked like that.

 

[DJJones]

Can't see shit. Looks like he was just finishing his check to me

Damn, Jack been hitting the roids since Ras clowned him?

Jeez.

Wow, how have I not seen that until now? Thanks for posting!

Weird I've seen that Rasmussmen-Hughes meme a few times, but I guess that is Detroit's highlight of the calendar year. Also weird someone would post that in this thread, it is very irrelevant and not at all clever.

Do we have a closer angle on the Risto - Ed hit yet? Looks clean from the long view.

OP if you’re going to have a meltdown about it can you at least find a decent replay?

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Video's crap, and I didn't see the hit live last night, but that looked to me like he caught him in the sternum, and it was whiplash that caused the injury. Either way, Risto's got a reputation, and he's a Flyer, so there's probably a suspension coming, but I've absolutely seen worse.

A reputation?

What?

What year is this video from

Still waiting on where the “punk cheap shot” is.

Maybe hockey isn’t the sport for you.

I don't understand why this conversation is even happening, but it's weird that you have this video and comment tee'd up while just completely ignoring that the guy clearly gets headbutted in the face

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It's hilarious how butt hurt people still are from Kronwall destroying a player on their favorite team a decade ago.

As for this hit I can't tell anything from that video. Edvinsson is very tall but Ristolainen is pretty tall too. I don't see anything egregious in that clip but it also makes the Zapruder film look hi-def.

risto elevated shoulder purposely right into edvinssons jaw

players get tons of games for accidental hits to head on clean shoulder to shoulder hits where head gets involved without hitter being able to predict that happening . this hit was right from the start a rat aiming his shoulder pad right for edvinssons jaw

more vid -

Can't really tell to be honest. The video is too blurry and not really close enough to tell. How is this the best video in 2024 on NHL happenings?
