Tkachuk hit on Guentzel (no supplemental discipline)

[andora]

Let's not let facts get in the way of narrative, shall we?

Right sorry

 

[FinlandPanther]

Clean hit.

 

[Fatass]

I think it's gotta be, seems equal. Both late hits with intent to injure.

The collision with Barkov wasn’t classified as a late hit. It was contact away from the puck on an unsuspecting player. The collision with JG was a late hit. JG had the puck, made a play, and then the contact came a beat too late. JG was watching his pass too. If the late hate was high then it’s a suspension. But this impact was shoulder to shoulder. So two different situations.

If Tkachuk doesn't get suspended he's going to leave the game in a stretcher. I don't think you guys quite remember how dirty guys like Cernak, Gorude, Kucherov and Cirelli can get.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Clean hit.

Ok, Finland Panther.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Ok, Finland Panther.

Finnish the panthers

BTW, most replays being played show it in slow-mo making it seem much more late. Looking at it full speed, you can't even count one steamboat here before the hit after he dishes the puck. This is the NHL son, keep your head up.

 

[Strangle]

I’d say neither hits are suspension worthy, but it’s the NHL so Tkachuk should also get a game suspension because the NHL made the wrong call on Hagel

[Regal]

This league is becoming incredibly weak if that’s a suspension.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Very similar to Hagel. Gotta be 1 game because of the standard the league set themselves.

I said “steamboat” twice in that time. But I am incredibly smart. Your mileage may vary.

Ok, Finland Panther.

Wonder if panthers might go blind so far north without enough sunlight

Evidence says that this theory may be correct

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

LOL, legendary. I'll be watching this series carefully. Could be an epic battle.

 

[T REX]

Context is key...game is over...and Lightning about to add another goal...he saw that happening and took a cheap shot.

I think 2 games would send the right message. TWO. History and context.

We'll see.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Tkachuk 1 game for the late hit on Guentzel.

Tkachuk’s barber 1 game for whatever he did to Tkachuk’s hair.

 

[DJN21]

Thats not a suspension

Watch it again, the pass is gone tkachuk turns back and hits him.

 

[WhoozYerrDaddy]

That looks like a 2 minute penalty for the hit being a quarter second too late

And he wouldnt even have served the minor cuz Tampa scored the goal on the delayed minor penalty.

 

[Sol]

Genuine question, what’s different from this and a two minute interference?

 

[Dirtyclapper]

Tkachuk 1 game for the late hit on Guentzel.

Tkachuk’s barber 1 game for whatever he did to Tkachuk’s hair.

"Can I get 1 wanna be patty Kane"

 

[CupsOverCash]

Same as hagel. How is this different?

 

[Dirtyclapper]

Genuine question, what’s different from this and a two minute interference?

The difference is barkov laid on the ice and pretended to be hurt

You're absolutely right in a vacuum but the context is the key.

Florida-Tampa and Tkachuk specifically have history and the series has been incredibly chippy from the start.

They suspended Hagel to make the statement that taking runs @ players and potentially injuring them isn't going to fly, even if it's not a super eggregious hit like jumping into a player's head or violently boarding them from behind.

It's gonna be the same context and logic applied here. Tkachuk took a run @ him when he knew the game was iced. It's not super violent or dirty, it's clearly late and interference. Also Tkachuk sitting for a game will deter retribution and taking runs @ Panther players if he's punished for it.

That's the way I see it and anticipate him getting a game.
