Is hogz suspended for next game aswell?

You have to be responsible for your arms and elbows. You can't claim self defense when you elbow someone in the head. That was no accident.

He may have cost Sweden the tournament.

ye so I gonna let the Russian run me over? smh get out of here. penalty but not a game misconduct.

 

[Opak]

Alnefelt the only thing preventing the Swedes from being down 3-1.

 

[Picaroon]

Yep.

Not arguing the potential of a penalty on the play but this blanket rule ejecting everyone for head contact does not work.

 

[PG Canuck]

Exactly. He acted like he died after an awkward collision and then jumps back out on the ice a minute later.

He got drilled to the head lol

 

[Todd Parchment]

Swedish fans acting worse than Canadians lol!!!!

clear penalty, match ban, and dirty play and if you can’t see it you’re a homer

 

[AB13]

Lol

Hoglander chose the flying elbow, ref didn’t make him do it.

Not at all, he did that to protect himself from Denisenko coming at him in a dangerous manner.

 

[PG Canuck]

Not arguing the potential of a penalty on the play but this blanket rule ejecting everyone for head contact does not work.

Don’t make contact with the head then. Easy concept I think.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Why didn't Russia utilize Podkolzin like this, before???
He used to be the screen man before, you know, powerplay

 

[hockey20000]

He did not brace himself.. he threw an elbow.
the f you talking about...

i am a Canadian fan and even I can tell he braced himself as he saw him coming its unfortunate his elbow got up but its still a penalty at worse.

 

[koyvoo]

 

[Mikeshane]

I think he was expecting Denisenko to come in with a big hit and he was trying to protect himself but since the big hit never happened Hoglander ended up doing the big hit.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Is hogz suspended for next game aswell?

I'd think for that hit it will be discussed. Definitely possible.

 

[nilssont]

Not the first time "mr zorro" goes after someones head



Sigh what a douche

 

[tictactoe]

i am a Canadian fan and even I can tell he braced himself as he saw him coming its unfortunate his elbow got up but its still a penalty at worse.

I could care less whos fan are you.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Yeah, he should've just taken it up the ass(or the head, as the case would be there). That's the Finnish way, I assume?

Definetly worth 5 min. Dirty play. No worries im rooting for Sweden.

 

[Todd Parchment]

ye so I gonna let the Russian run me over? smh get out of here. penalty but not a game misconduct.

HE MOVED INTO
THE LANE TO
HIT THE RUSSIAN HOW MUCH CLEARER DOES IT NEED RO
BE THAT IT WASNT EVEN DEFENSIVE

 

[Prntscrn]

i am a Canadian fan and even I can tell he braced himself as he saw him coming its unfortunate his elbow got up but its still a penalty at worse.

IT wasn't his elbow it was the shoulder. But it was an upwards motion from Höglander. Can't do that

 

[Goulet17]

I think he was expecting Denisenko to come in with a big hit and he was trying to protect himself but since the big hit never happened Hoglander ended up doing the big hit.

This is the way that I viewed it as well.

 

[Melkor]

Didn't expect swedish team to look this dumb

 

[Picaroon]

Don’t make contact with the head then. Easy concept I think.

It happens. The game is fast if you haven't noticed. Hoglander looks up and sees Denisenko speeding at him and reacts. Bad result, but he wasn't head hunting. 2 minute minor is plenty.

 

[Blueboy]

Not at all, he did that to protect himself from Denisenko coming at him in a dangerous manner.

Denisenko should be penalized!

 

[EK47]

Björnfot is awful.

 

[Todd Parchment]

Russians celebrate like that on purpose to get under the skin. Great tactic

 

[Love]

Classic Russian move to celebrate right in front of the other teams bench.

Send them home! Strip the captaincy! How dare they disrespect Sweden!

Oh wait I forgot it’s only a problem when Russia gets disrespected
