Tanner Jeannot headshot on Brck Boeser, 5 and game. (upd: 3 game suspension)

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Probably get 3 games

 

[NailsHoglander]

The worst part for me is that Jeannot is a talentless hack and losing him doesn't hurt the Kings at all. There should be a team punishment for having bums like this on your roster and letting them run amok on star players.

 

[LordBacon]

Expecting 3-5 games.

 

[DeltaSwede]

It's so odd that it wasn't even during an "attacking" play.

Throw the book at him /unbiased Canucks fan..

 

[Sol]

probably a game or two tops. The one thing that makes this hit a lot less dangerous is that at least Jeannot didn’t explode into the hit. It looks like it barely glances Boeser. I think Boeser will be fine. There was pretty much no real exploding into the hit more than a glancing blow.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Should be 7-8 games plus. But who knows with that braindead former face puncher is going to do

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

IMO the Richards - Booth hit was much more vicious.

Perhaps more vicious, likely worse in result. The hits came from similar angles, took similar pathings, similar timings, and similar targeting.

 

[banks]

Thankfully, there aren't a lot of hits like this to compare too. But I'd say this is worth a 5 game suspension, give or take a bit based on Jeannot's history.

But I honestly don't trust the DOPS to get it even close to right. If they stuck with the one automatic game, I wouldn't be shocked.

 

[Bouboumaster]

POS move

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

I’m not sure what the “debate” is here. It’s a terrible, careless hit.

People start talking about “dirty” and go get lost in the forest of the player’s personality, history, etc. it really doesn’t matter. There is no way you can let that kind of easily avoidable play pass without serious punishment.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Hope Boeser’s Okay, what a late cheap dirty blind side hit to the head.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

cause calling for 10-15 games is so much more reasonable of a take

It is actually…

 

[Score8]

Blindside hits are legal.

This hit was illegal because the head was the main point of contact and such contact to the head was avoidable

I don’t see the head as main point of contact. I have more of an issue of him coming from his blindside. May be legal but it’s still a predatory hit.

Hockey is a violent sport.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Such an easy hit to not make. Hasn't Boeser had concussion issues? They need to start sitting dudes for half a year that target the head. At least do it so the NHLPA has to come out and defend headshots or agree with the precedent.

 

[Sniper99]

at least 5 games but with this DOPS. Probably $2000 fine and no Playstation for the weekend.

 

[joestevens29]

Wow that’s not something you see very often anymore. Should be 10+, but it’ll probably only be 3-5

 

[chris kontos]

It was a clown post, take the L and move on.

Wtf does torres have to do with this?
He got suspended for 45 because he wouldnt stop kneeing players. Lol

 

[joestevens29]

Hockey is a violent sport.

Sure but it’s not suppose to be dirty

 

[chris kontos]

Strongly worded letter to robitaille.

Torres was actually a head hunter that leaped into guys

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Late, blindside, head was targeted.

Absolute bonehead play by an absolute bonehead.

Respectively,you can't get into the head of Jeanott to say for ceratin that the head was the intended target...I think he was looking to hit someone anyone and it happened to be Boeser that is his role...for Boeser's sake I hope he's not feeling the effects of a concussion

 

[kingsholygrail]

Sure but it’s not suppose to be dirty

Well, to each his own. If you can put a big hit on a key player legally and take them out of the game, it's not dirty at all. It's fair play.

 

[Clode]

5+ games imo

Sure but that wasn’t legal
