Whitecloud hit on Knies | Knies did not return to the game.

[Master P]

Keep your head up.



Getting a lot of mileage outta this one.

Leafs should’ve came out in support of the Rangers a couple years back when they released that statement about Paros. Only chance for meaningful change was to get behind that.

I loved that they did that.

Can't imagine Rogers/Bell allowing it though.

Looks like feet leave the ice after contact.

So knies’ body elevated him? Lol

Reaves got nothing but Nurse's chin coming North South across a player travelling East West. I don't think it was overly malicious and personally thought 5 games was a bit much but he totally missed center mass and picked the head. Being old big and clumsy will do that to ya.

This one Whitecloud hits Knies center mass. Is it hard and violent? Yes it is. That's still one of the big draws of the NHL.



The head was not picked here, and Whitecloud attempted and succeeded to hit squarely through the opponent's body.

Whitecloud as well got Knies sideface/chin while jumping. But I agree, we need more of these types of hits. Which is why the Reaves penalty and suspension was soft. Why call something like that when Nurse was floating, head down and was lacking spatial awareness? It sets a precedent that discourages physical play.

First time watching physics in action?

he didn't jump, his feet left the ice after contact which happens on almost every hit lol... it's why they clarify feet leaving the ice in the rulebook or every hit would lead to a penalty/suspension

He's much higher than Reaves

Is he upset?

 

[TMLeafer]

How they review that and call off a major is nothing short of bullshit. But very expected, the leafs tax. The double standard from the review and the sportnet panel is not surprising either.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Just saw it, what a nasty hit, and the leafs get a man short lol this league

Makes you wanna holla', way they do Leafs life.

 

[JianYang]

I don't really care about the intention. That's a bad hit, and he got the head.

This stuff should be automatic like high sticks at the very least. I'd like to see a suspension for it.

 

[TheOrganist]

Looks like Chief has Toronto playing some respectable puck.

 

[gojetsgo]

lol, yes, because he went straight into his body and reaves didn't....

This particular ruling is BS, but this leaf tax theory is an even bigger bunch of baloney lol.

 

[Bender Duster]

I think Gazdic had a good take on

First time this sentence was ever formulated - Nov. 20, 2024

 

[gojetsgo]

it's funny because there was an actual worse hit in this game, but that isn't being talked about...

Seems the antithesis of upset.
They reviewed for a major penalty and determined that there was none. The rest was also a recap.
It was devoid of emotion.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Is he upset?

you just know he is.

 

[VeteranPresence]

Bettman trying to stake the league’s future on Vegas viewership/attendance over an O6 market is certainly a choice.

 

[HofT]

lol, yes, because he went straight into his body and reaves didn't....

Well no. Principle point of contact was Knies' head.

 

[All Mod Cons]

you just know he is.

I honestly don't know the guy from a hole in the wall.

 

[HogTown06]

That hit was as clean as it gets for a "straight-to-the-head-and-off-your-feet" hit.

Doesn't matter. Refs played well tonight but the Leafs were better.

 

[Lilou]

It looks like a hit to the head...so wheres the penalty.

THAT'S YOUR FIRST POST?!?!?!?!?!
