Don't worry, he still has a chance to win the Conn Smythe. Needs to beat Kulikov in a cage match though.

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

Hagel on a worse hit gets 1, Ekblad gets 2 on a pedestrian roughing penalty at most. Garbage

Honestly, I'm okay with it specifically because the hit in question was put on Hagel. For some bizarre reason the league hates these retaliatory hits, but the truth is that they're just about the only way to stop plugs from doing this to star players.

I think this is the way to do it. Instead of targeting their stars, send a direct message to the plug who did it.

I know I'm not supposed to this but ...

I really love one of our Panthers knocking out the guy who hurt our Captain and threw a hit that was way too hard.

Tells them that there will be repercussions for their actions, we didnt always have guys like that on our team who cared. Nor did we have guys on our team who made other players pay for their actions. I love it. Love me some EK5.

At this point, Ekblad is gonna beg Zito for 5 years x 4.5 mil lol

Would be a great deal.

I wouldn't take Ekky even at $2milx5. He'll be LTIR casualty in a few years time.

Shocked. I am shocked.

Really pleased with the improvements Ekblad has made over the last week. His suspensions are down from 20 games all the way to 2.

Hfboards sucks sometimes. Why are we “not” supposed to say these things? I’m glad too we knocked out that dirtbag, but for some reason we’re not allowed to say that? Makes no sense.

It's not politically correct. But that ofc doesn't stop the NHL from marketing games with the footage of those "dirty" hits. If those hits were reprehensible then they wouldn't be showcased at all.

In the end it just boils down to the Panthers being a pain in the ass in the playoffs and only few teams can match that. The Panthers are a good team and we should feel bad about it.

Its not so much an HFboards thing, its more like a morality thing lol

Shows hes learning from his mistakes

Best part is the 180 from some Bruin fans.

They could argue their team from 2010-2015 was just the Big Bad Bruins and just deal with it, but now they piss themselves when they see Bennett throw a check.

 

[KW]

If it hadn't been on Hagel and for the reasons we all know, most people would have been very upset with the play. It is what it is. I doubt it changes anything physically in the series.

You mean like if Ek had knocked out Kuch?

Well, I for one wouldn’t have been upset. I might have been totally ok with it.

Hypothetically.

 

[BabyBennettov]

Did Draisalt get any phone call for Barkov hit?

I just hope Maurice mentions it during one of his pressers... I know he did already without giving names, and that he probably won't because he cares more about what's next...

But that is cowardice at her best by the league.

If ESPN didn't went bonkers about it last night, we probably wouldn't be talking about it.

I'm also still looking for that replay where Ekblad hits his head or where the focal point of contact is the head. I can't and won't find it !
