SCF Game 2: Florida Panthers Vs Vegas Golden Knights | 8:00PM ET 5:00PM PT | TNT, TBS, TRUTV, CBC, SN, TVAS

Dirty, dirty Tkachuk. Only type of hockey he knows how to play. Shame on the league for not dealing with him years ago.

Huh?

 

[Pablo El Perro]

….why is Tkachuk being sent off? That was clean.

I think it was refs managing the scrum. Odd, sure. But they do ref things.

 

[Three On Zero]

Who do you actually give the Conn Smythe to with this Vegas team though? Nobody really stands out to me.


I'd give it to Stephenson. But you can make a case for a bunch of different guys, and also nobody really...all at once. They've just leaned on so many different players at different stages of the playoffs.

Barbashev hit to the head totally ok. Shoulder to shoulder check gets penalized and a misconduct.

Meanwhile one goalie allowed to swing his stick at players at will.

Turning this garbage off.

 

[ReimanSum1908]

If Eichel is out, this could be the series defining moment.

 

[missingchicklet]

Insane that a star player gets a misconduct for a perfectly clean hit. Cannot have that kind of crap call in a SCF game.

 

[Nsjohnson]

I will say this: the ever increasing concern for 'player safety' is resulting in just legit bad calls on the ice.

Dirty, dirty Tkachuk. Only type of hockey he knows how to play. Shame on the league for not dealing with him years ago.

Serious question - why do you even watch hockey if you can’t handle clean hits?

 

[thebigbea]

NHL want Vegas to win so bad

 

[Zats Muccarello]

Anybody who thinks that was a dirty hit is clueless about this sport

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Should not have got a misconduct. Similar play to the hit on Gudas. So stupid.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Couldn't Florida challenge Tkachuk's hit? How was that a misconduct? Florida should be on a power play.

 

[JKG33]

Lehner is a weird case. When he's on, he's legit. But he's so inconsistent even in the best of times. But who knows how he would have looked under Cassidy?

Either way with the whole snake farm thing? I just don't see him being brought back. Potential buy out.

I would bet he's LTIR'd at worst. Best case ya'll might be able to Evander Kane him with his erratic behavior. He wasn't even in game shape the last year and a half he did play

 

[WSS11]

How is FLA not on a PP and how the f*** does Tkachuk get 2 + 10?

 

[Dr Beinfest]

nice so Vegas loses their best player and therefore so must Florida.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Was Eichel screaming as he left the ice or just trying to get a dislocated jaw back into position? He was making some very odd facial motions.

There was nothing dirty about that. Just a good hockey play.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

What did tcachuk get booted for? Laid a heavy clean hit and got mugged after the whistle?

 

[BigKing]

If Tkachuk got a misconduct it is because he wouldn't stop screwing around with Pieterangelo in the scrum.

Which is garbage but refs are trying to keep a lid on things.

 

[Leonardlizard]

So are they cap compliant now

Eichel. It's marginal, but his two way play while leading the team in scoring tilts it. Cart ahead of the horse, but I'd put money on it.

 

[cliffclaven]

What was dirty about it? Genuinely curious what you think was dirty.

Hitting is what he thinks is “dirty” lol

 

[JEM28]

Not sure how that's a penalty on Tkachuk, Eichel lost his balance before the hit and it was blatantly obvious upon replay.
he didn’t get a penalty for the hit. He got it for the stuff after.

 

[tTheVeganWoofMate]

This would be a very funny post to show Bruins fans at the end of last year lol. It wasn’t just the core. Bruins fans wanted him out bad and were so happy when he was gone.

The same fans that chanted we want the cup in
Second period
Of the first playoff game
On a series they blew up 3-1 losing 3.
Shows what they know

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

My stream f***in froze. Is Eichel ok or in struggle city??

He skated off but looked shook.
