This is not NHL. You have to keep your hands against your body when giving such hits.incawg said:clean hit, but they called it high sticking

How about starting at the Summit series in 1972 when Bobby Clarke was head hunting Kharlamov

am convinced that Bobby Clarke was given the job of taking me out of the game," said Kharlamov. "Sometimes, I thought it was his only goal. I looked into his angry eyes, saw his stick which he wielded like a sword, and didn't understand what he was doing. It had nothing to do with hockey."

It was not clean, but it was no high sticking either. It was a dirty elbowing hit and should have been called as such.

You might want to cool it with the anti-Canadian sentiment, Sweden hasnt lost yet.

Hmmm....does the 1972 Summit Series ring a bell? Just to name one example.
Oops...Swedish Bolt Fan already said it.

I was not watching the game when the incident happened in todays game but im pretty sure it wasnt as bad as the bobby clarke incident that happened 32 yrs ago. I am also pretty sure in international competition that before a team plays canada the opposing team tells each other to keep there head up cause these canadians there headhunters. I am pretty sure that does not go on

He was asking like headhunting have never been done by a canadian. He is probably too young to remember what happened back than. and how Canada got the reputation of headhunting

Do you have any idea what the phrase "proven fact" means? Your conspiracy theory is nothing more than petty excuse-making.
The point is that certain members that Team Canada, over the last several decades, has chosen to play for the team have a history of these kinds of acts. Many of the players who intentionally injure other players are Canadian. That's not what hockey is about. Team Canada's GM and coach need to execise more discipline in both choosing and training their players to avoid such incidents in the future.

This is true. Canadians play a rougher game. Just as Europeans tend to dive more. It doesn't mean all Canadians are dirty or that all Europeans dive though.

And it might also do good in trying to fix the image of Headhunting goons in a National team jersey.
