Sam Reinhart game misconduct knee on knee hit to Lundestrom

[Dust]

That reverse angle is just ugly, hope Lundestrom is okay because a knee is not supposed to look like that.

I'd expect this kind of hit from the other Sam, not Reinhart. Everything about the hit was destined to fail from the get go, really odd as you don't see this type of stuff from him ever.

Dumb hit from a player who doesn’t have a history of dirty play. Correct call was made on the ice.

DOPS has a busy day ahead of them.

Bad hit, no getting around that. If he’s out a game or two, he earned it. If not, could be a chippy game. Don’t see him dropping the gloves, but who knows.

Not usually his game, so giving Reino the benefit of the doubt that it was more a mistake than straight malice.

Yeah skill players sometimes throw weird/dirty hits when they try to get physical, just a little out of his element.

Guessing Lundestrom has a significant injury...should be 5+ games suspension, right? Obvious and deliberate causing an injury.

Wheel of Justice says 2 games.

Reinhart isn't and has never been a dirty player. It's hard to see this as malicious but he probably should get a game for how reckless it was. That was a bad hit. ouch

Time to stop saying this. He doesn't get gentleman status anymore.

This act disqualifies him. Sorry that he's your personal hero or something?

??? personal hero? wtf lol

So no hearing for this after McDavid gets one for a simple cross check. Totally not a rigged league, amirite?

 

[Fatass]

Yeah that was super dirty, holy shit. I don’t think he actually meant to injure Lundestrom but he definitely extends the knee on purpose to try and slow him.

Yup. Missed the body so put his knee out. This is suspension worthy. League won’t though. Star player.

I don't think he intended to make the kind of contact he made. I think he was intent on making contact, misjudged how fast Lundestrom was going to slip past and stuck the knee out when he got a visual sense that he might miss Lundestrom with the hit.

I don't think what he did was malicious but reckless/careless.

Lmao. I hadn't seen what McDavid did until just now. Reinhart probably deserves a game but there's so much more intent behind what McDavid did. I haven't endeavored to read that thread but I don't even want to hear about Garland's height. McDavid knew exactly what he was doing. For Reinhart, he deserves to sit a game or two for the recklessness of it and the injury, at least based on the standards we're working with, but McDavid definitely unquestionably earned his hearing and absolutely deserves to sit a game or two.
