It was def. a late hit. I've noticed there is a certain contingent of people who really go out of their way to try and show how objective they are by putting other posters down who feel the officials bare some responsibility, and dismissing them as so called "conspiracy theorists"! It really tedious.
Disagree. Slow motion will make it look worse than it is. Weaver was finishing his check. Brassard needs to be smarter there and more aware of the situation. Great, clean hit. Unfortunate outcome for us though.
Like I said, most say it was late, some say it was "text book". Lol, objectivity.
As far as the "nothing serious" comment by Brass, didn't McD say the same thing and it took him a month to get back to his top level of play. Just saying don't read into it either way. Obviously if it was serious no way he speaks to the media but there are several degrees of "not serious".
Shoulder, IMHO
“@PLeonardNYDN: Brassard did say "it's nothing serious"â€
I won't believe it til I see him on the ice again playing as fearlessly as he has been.
i didnt have a problem with the hit...just like i didnt have a problem with kreider hitting price...its hockey...theres contact...especially when youre skating the way these guys skate.
i am curious though if its "nothing serious" why wasnt he back in there, esp in a relatively close game till the final 2 mins of the 2nd.

Because when they say "nothing serious", you can assume it could mean anything from "nothing serious" to "really serious."
Him not coming back is the best evidence that it was somewhat serious. Hopefully a couple of days of rest will help. If he has to miss Game 2, I REALLY hope he's back for Game 3.
LGR!
Disagree with your disagree. A couple of announcers called it out. Hit was at least a second late
Looked like a groin concussion to me!
"Lol objectivity" is better then whining about a clean hit and saying it was late.
