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

mcdavid crosschecked a guy in the head. how did that not deserve 3 games?

Blowing up a guy's head with a late blindside hit isn't much worse? Was the guy McDavid crosschecked injured? Rasmussen looks like he was concussed.

and garland could've easily been concussed from taking a two hander to the head. both were deserving of what they got

BS. One was a heat of the moment situation where a player lost control, the other is a deliberate attempt to injure.

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

Really? It looked like a blatant and unprovoked headshot. Wasn't even close to being a legit bodycheck that rode up on the opponent, or something done in the heat of a puck battle. That is a classic predatory hit aimed at the head.

McDavid only got 3 because of what Myers did moments later, it’s not a secret lol

Otherwise yeah probably a game or two

you work for DOPS?

mcdavid also had a prior suspension. zegras had no history outside of a fine for slashing. 3 games for crosschecking a guy in the head was absolutely justified

not yet, but when I apply can I use you as a reference?

 

[57special]

In a weird way is this a good thing for Zegras's rep? Nobody thought of him as being a physical player prior to this. I can see a guy like Guerin loving Zegras's transition from a highly skilled scorer to a cheap shotting, unproductive, bottom sixer. Watch out, Ryan Hartman!

 

[RRhoads]

I think Zegras would have only gotten two games if he got a major and a game misconduct for the late hit.
The refs failure to call that got the game out of hand.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Definitely deserved a suspension. Man I get a kick out of how much this kid is irrationally hated though. The amount of false narratives that are spun every time his name is mentioned, it's just incredible.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

...you're...correct...??...

Even Rasmussen isn't that fragile.

 

[BiolaRunner]

where did you see ducks fans downplaying the hit? every ducks fans i've seen in here has agreed that it was a suspendable offense

A hit is either clean or the dirtiest hit of the season apparently. Someone called the hit possibly the dirtiest of the season, quite possibly by the person you quoted. A couple Ducks fans said that while it was dirty, that was a stretch. Complete and utter homerism I guess

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.

I've seen the bad lip reading brouht into Zegras conversations this season. Irrational indeed

buddy admiring his bank pass

lmao @ 5 games

You aren’t suggesting that a dirty hit is ok if the other guy is admiring his pass are you?
