Zegras headshots Rasmussen. Will have a hearing today 02/24 - three game suspension

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Throw a Matt Cooke jersey on Zegras and there would be almost no one defending that play. That was a Cookie special.

If they actually cared about player safety that number would start at 5.

I don't disagree. I just came out with the number I thought he'd get.

Hope Ras is okay.

Zegras can go eat a turd.

Dude I’m sure Zegras didn’t mean to hurt
him.

Has Zegras been careless with his slashes in the past ? Sure, he never head shotted a guy before like this

It dont matter....

Did you read the Zegras stetcher thread.... people have a real irrational hatred for zegras because of his game cover. Like people took those twitter lip readers posts and ran with it to pump up hate. That thread went like 40 pages over nothing lol.

Zegras better learn to fight his own battles because his teammates will soon stop taking fights for his actions. An older teammate has (imo) already had a talk with him too.

agreed. 3 games was actually a bit longer than I thought it would be given the DoPS.

But if they actually wanted to protect players' brains an east-west headshot after the puck was long gone should start at 5 games, history or not.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Rasmussen needs to man up and defend himself.

If I were him and were 6’6, both Kucherov and Zegras would have season ending surgeries by now after my retaliation.

I would love for Ras to play with any sort of edge and be tougher, but expecting him to stand up for himself after taking a headshot seems a bit much.

Zegras should get an extra 2 games tacked on for looking at the replay and then insistently yelling "No way. No way." It's one thing to throw a dumb, dangerous hit. It's another to watch yourself throw a dumb, dangerous hit and then defiantly think you did nothing wrong. Time to learn a lesson, son.

Sadly becasue he is far more talented than most of the Red Wings.

Weird that Anaheim is like way further down the standings then?

Boss Man Hughes, simmer down!

3 wasn’t enough for a PURPOSEFUL SHOULDER CHECK TO THE HEAD.

CLOWN LEAGUE

aside from zegras hit, what "cheap shots" are you referring to?

and i guess you missed what chiarot did?

Gudas cross checking Raymond in the back while the play went the other way.... Someone flipping a puck into Jo's dick, just to be a dick. Trouba with the punch/forearm to Burger's face. The last two I can go either way on. Gudas's cross check on Raymond was cheap as hell.
And no, I did not miss that hit. But guess what, if a team is going to play that way, and the refs won't call the game properly, then there are going to be in game consequences.

He has Trouba & Gudas as teammates. They probably taught him that

It's difficult to listen to complaints about refereeing in a game where the offended party was given three times as many powerplays. The complaints ring pretty hollow.

The zegras hit was a big miss, he should have been called, but Detroit got the benefit of the doubt for the lions share of this game.

I'll put it this way: if Anaheim was refereed the way detroit was last night, we would be absolutely ecstatic.

Or perhaps one team was committing penalties? Expecting a game to end in even PP distribution is asking for the refs to 'manage the game.' And we all know how that goes. The Ducks could have easily been called for 2, perhaps 3 more penalties.

So could have Detroit. Triple the amount of powerplays and still whining about the referees is a choice.

Wings fans, and this one in particular, are complaining on the lack of penalties called on the blatant head shot (that resulted in a suspension) and several other rat type plays. Arguing a discrepancy in penalties called should negate these plays being penalized in game is insane. The wings have had two games in the last 10 or so games where they never got to a PP. Sometimes teams just don't take penalties.

It should give some perspective at the very least. I get being pissed about the zegras hit, but the rest of that crap is the same stuff teams do every game, red wings included.

You aren't as justified in your aggrievance as you think, and it comes off as whining while at the same time getting the benefit of the doubt. Give me a break.

People expect refs to manage the game because that is what they do. It's pretty rare for there to be a significant disparity in penalties.

And for the record, the Zegras hit was a missed penalty and suspendable hit. Given how other bad hits have been penalized, it seemed like 2 games was the right amount. But the wheel of NHL justice is fickle.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

It likely wasn’t called because the puck had been gone long enough that the officials had shifted their attention away from the Wings player - which speaks to just how late the hit was.

Plain and simple, the only reason it wasnt called is because the Wings had had 3 or 4 more PPs than the Ducks at the time it occured. Thats really the only reason.
