wild hit by rossmy

 

[jj cale]

That used to be a good, hard check.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I am not sure what a player can do ... he's ready to go shoulder to shoulder and the player ducks..glad he is not hurt

 

[Bounces R Way]

pfft didn't even hit him in the head

sofff

 

[Ace]

That’s an unfortunate hit but he tried to line him up properly and the guy just went down first

 

[peconcan]

Someone pm me a stream? Too late to get it on in the living room and satellite in my room not working.

 

[Trojans86]

Any streams?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

That used to be a good, hard check.

In the Gretzky Hlinka that would be unpenalized. Several worse hits to the head were ignored.

 

[John Agar]

IIHF with their weenie ideas...

Player ducks on end boards and puts his head at threat...

Player stride for stride brakes and holds posture... under scrutiny...

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Frickin awful call

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Tough situation. Could have angled him off more I guess.

 

[ORRFForever]

Whoa !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TimeZone]

That is straight up embarrassing.

 

[jj cale]

Can;t say I agree with that.

 

[Canada4Gold]

That's one of the worst match penalties I've ever seen. It's barely 2 minutes and only because contact was made with the head so it has to be

 

[chaser17]

Thats brutal. IIHF officiating is laughable.

 

[Chainshot]

Shocked they called that as a match penalty.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

IIHF with their weenie ideas...

Player ducks on end boards and puts his head at threat...

Player stride for stride brakes and holds posture... under scrutiny...

Is the Hlinka not an IIHF event. Why was it ignored then????

 

[John Agar]

From that angle the U.S. player totally dumb in the head with that "evasion"...

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Don't discount the price of tickets. The venues certainly didn't.

50 bucks for one ticket to USA and Germany? Thats insane.

A family of 4 is going to pay 200 dollars in tickets to see USA blow out Germany? madness.

 

[PanniniClaus]

What i would want to know is what is the expectation there? Don't make a hit? I'm not being a dick about it but i am not sure what the alternative is.

 

[jj cale]

Man , Bordeleau looks dangerous tonight.

 

[haulinbass]

I am not sure what a player can do ... he's ready to go shoulder to shoulder and the player ducks..glad he is not hurt

Players seem to forget now days that there is a responsibility to protect themselves.

At this rate players could almost avoid being hit by putting their heads low any time they see a player incoming and get a PP.

 

[TimeZone]

US forcing some really ugly slot passes a couple of times on that PP unnecessarily.

Hughes looks great, Cooley as well as he scores.

 

[LuLover96]

Im guessing refs were told to crack down on hits to the head once repeated head contact and CTE were confirmed to be connected earlier this week.
