GDT: WJC, NYE, Canada vs Germany, 1:30 EST

[Cleetus]

sweet shot! tie game

 

[sepHF]

It is NOT a clean hit. It doesn't matter how perfect it was or what the opponent did. A HEAD HIT IS A HRAD HIT.

in this bullshit tournament you are correct

 

[Orr Fourever]

Goal Canada.

 

[Barrie22]

Celebrini gets 1 shift and scores lol. But lets try to keep him off the ice at all cost right coach

 

[llwyd]

Yes.

Feet down, shoulder tucked, coasted into the hit.

Never, in a hitting league, should simply skating with your head down make you ineligible to be hit

What about respect, the famous code? I totally applaud eliminating brain injuries from this game. Would it really be such a tragic loss?

 

[PG Canuck]

Celebrini only player worth a damn. Give him the C

 

[Millpond]

The pathetic Euro trash get what they want, can't beat Canada on the ice so call BS penalties against the to try and cheat their way to a "win."

Give it a rest

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Celebrini. Nice shot. Poor goaltending.

 

[LastOne2100]

It doesn’t.

Your post was literally just advocating for that since it's the start of the game against a weaker opponent.

 

[nucks88]

There’s one-no mercy today……

It is NOT a clean hit. It doesn't matter how perfect it was or what the opponent did. A HEAD HIT IS A HRAD HIT.

By these Ridiculous IIHF rules yes.

Doesn’t mean they’re not stupid rules

 

[Dominance]

I want 15 goals. Show some emotion and aggression and pour it in already.

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Germany thought they weren't playing a regulation game for about 60 seconds. lol

 

[Jacob]

That wasn't a hit to the head. Right through the chest.

The head was absolutely hit.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

A beauty for Celebrini there

 

[Oilslick941611]

Protect the head. 5 min is the right call

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Chara is my argument.. crushed guys all the time without hitting them in the head. It's very possible. His career is a great example of a very strong and very tall man hitting people without hitting the head first.

This whole 'only way to hit a short guy is to hit his head argument' is crazy to me.lol

Counter point....he managed to survive in the NHL the last 5ish years of his career by getting away with breaking rules because he was so tall. He wasn't a saint out there lol

 

[therealdeal]

Let’s run up the score on this game.

So, take hitting out of h okey entirely because that’s what you’re advocating if any and all head hits should be 5min

Very many of Chara's hits ended up with some head contact due to his size.

Under these rules he probably would've never played a game.

 

[Channelcat]

Looked like Bedard there

 

[Shocker]

The pathetic Euro trash get what they want, can't beat Canada on the ice so call BS penalties against the to try and cheat their way to a "win."

Yeah this seems like a reasonable and measured take.

 

[Orr Fourever]

Let’s run up the score on this game.

I'm down.

 

[Oilslick941611]

there was absolutely no intention to injure and its a good hit in the NHL not in the IIHF.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

He was a cheap shot artist but got away with it because he was a Bruin.
