"When the head is primary point of contact..."

So Neighbors head is located on his left shoulder as you can see...

I'd have to look in the rulebook, but I think you can make a case for charging there, easily. I think that should have been a two minute penalty.

I think Benny targeted the head. I called it last night. That was a dangerous hit



So in short. It was a bad hit but it wasn't hard enough.
this is actually stupid lol

Keep seeing Blues fans on twitter and of course all the fans on Reddit calling this a dirty hit by Bennett. He glides into it, doesn’t jump, hits body before Neghbor’s head hits the glass and it wasn’t late. So am I wrong in thinking this hit is fine.


Bennett hit the side below the shoulder. Neighbor then banged his head on the glass. Neighbor had the puck and wasn’t turned to face the glass.

Contrast with Rempe’s hit on Miro Heiskanen, Miro’s back turned, Rempe’s elbow to the head.

Right call both times IMO.

Rempe needs a 41 game suspension

He is a danger to everyone in the league and there is no room for a POS person like him. Those idiot rags fans think he is great, but he has no skill to play in the league. All he can do s exactly what you saw in that game.

Shitty Laviolette and Drury are trying to keep from getting fired and that is why he plays, ONLY to appease the d bag fans.

He’s gotta be on his last strike now. One more incident and he should get a whole season ban.

Yes

Yes

Ultimately I blame Drury and Lav. We know that they know. Which makes it worse.

If Balinskis wasn't dog-shit, people couldn't praise Barkov for those amazing plays at the end of OT.

Don't get the love they have with Uvis, but we've clearly lost the Adam-experiment now... Without ever trying to get him comfortable.

All this while playing an American-league tweener in his spot... It is pure non-sense.

Don't get me wrong... I found the story cool, older latvian "prospect" and all... But the man is just a f***ing tweener that should be a 7th defenseman, no more...

And yet we are still playing him over and over a young player with top-4 or top-PP potential... It's ridiculous.

Balinskis doesn't do anything, ANYTHING... People will say he scored a goal, yet if it wasn't for Barkov, Uvis would have lost us this game in OT... The two highlights of his career in a single-game.

Even Schmidt who looks cooked two games out of 3, even he shows more in one-shift than Uvis does in a whole season.

Adam Boqvist has more impact on the game of hockey one night in his sleep than Uvis will ever have in his whole carrer.

I'm done with this shit.

I agree. I'd rather have Boqvist out there making mistakes and hopefully learning and actually doing something offensivly than Balinskis who just exists
