Roussel crosscheck to the face of McQuaid (suspended 2 games)

[Stad]

Looks like a strong hockey play IMO.

 

[c3z4r]

****ing disgusting man, hope he gets 5 games for it.

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Fun fact:
Its actually rule #21 in the Dallas Stars fan handbook which states "all Stars fans must also be Roussel fans", (right behind rule #20 which states "all Stars fans must accept Klingberg as there lord and savior"). As a proud Stars fan, I usually adhere to the rules. Having said that, Roussel can be a bonehead sometimes.

 

[Zrhutch]

League is gonna take him basically getting a game suspension from it into account, but yeah. He'll probably get 1 or 2 games.

In his defense (if there is any), it seemed really fluky.

 

[dechire]

For context Roussel dodged a hit by McQuaid. McQuaid took exception and dropped gloves. Roussel turned and cross-checked him in the neck (not the head). Not defending the cross-check which was stupid but the gif posted makes it appear that Roussel targeted McQuaid for no reason.

Cooke apart, Roussel and Garbutt are the two biggest ******** in the league. Vicious cross check though I've seen worse, a couple of games without pay will do it.

Not that I think you really believe that, but if that was Kaleta on Crosby you would still view it as a strong hockey play?

I was obviously joking haha, and it happened last year in the playoffs with Staal, except to the back of the head.

 

[Puck Tiss]

McQuaid was looking to fight Roussel and ate some lumber. Iits not like McQaid was innocent.

Missed that. Hard to tell sometimes.

 

[Godzlaf]

No two ways about it, this guy is absolute trash. The fact that Ruff loves he and Garbutt so much says a lot about what trash he is, as well.

 

[123TripleDoge]

I'd give that punk 10.

 

[penguins2946*]

That was a dirty play. That should be a suspension.

 

[Quarter]

Should be 2-3 games. Whether Roussel was aiming for the face or neck, it doesn't really matter... clearly an attempt to injure.

 

[ToewsForDays]

Dirty play and I'm not surprised at all that Roussel would do that. 5 games imo.

When they arent doing stupid dirty **** like this they are contributors. They both have a lot of speed, can play a bit chippy (obviously they cross the line), and they can put the puck in the net.

I like roussel, but he can't do **** like this.

I have a soft spot for the rats of the league

So, you are saying mcquaid took exception to rouseel dodging his hit?

 

[TorNsh*]

Love Roussel.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

McQuaid went to the room and returned, presumably for a concussion test.

Quite strange to see all these Bruins skating around after the hit seemingly asking each other "Did anyone see anything?".

 

[dechire]

I assume so. That or Roussel said something mean about his mother as he dodged the hit. Either way McQuaid immediately wanted a fight.

Just to let you know you're allowed to fight in the NHL, you're not allowed to cross check people in the throat.

 

[Primetimey*]

Dumb play, but I don't like Adam dropping his gloves and ready to jump a guy just because he missed his check.

Would prefer to see Roussel cross-check him in the stomach/chest to defend himself but he got way too high and vicious.

 

[King Woodballs]

Mcquaid wanted to,fight so roussel cross checks him in the mouth
You are a moron roussel
But everyone knows he is a piece of ****
So really this isn't surprising.

 

[Sigh]

Too bad he got the boot. The payback would have been fun to watch.
