Zegras headshots Rasmussen. Will have a hearing today 02/24

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Nothing… they attacked Vatrano

Not the first time that Zegras has gotten his teammates hurt.

This is one of those late, blind side, target the head (pick the head with no other contact) plays the league wants out of the game. This suspension will be long. 5+.

That was almost textbook "everything the NHL doesn't want to see in a hit". If I may, it was a little Raffi Torres-esque.

Zegras is popular with the TikTok crowd. They can’t suspend him too long since they need him to keep up the dances. My guess will be 3 games max.

 

[Bradely]

Late... Late and late hit + impact to the head.
Suspension needed

Looked like a Matt Rempe hit—late, to the head, unnecessary, stupid.

 

[The Red Line]

Yup dirty hit all around, only hit the head, targeted, well after the puck was gone. He better get some games. Unbelievable that none of the officials called it.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Hmmmm. Until this post, I had all but forgotten that Zegras was in the League. Guess that is one way to keep your name out there.

I will never understand why players, particularly skilled ones, make these kinds of predatory hits. It doesn't benefit you in any way to be a total scumbag to your fellow union member. It doesn't increase your stats, reputation, bank account, social standing... Just makes you an asshole.

why do people keep saying this? does Zegras regularly post dances on tiktok? or are people just being boomers cause heaven forbid a young player has an outspoken personality?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

3 games

 

[Stelio Kontos]

Is Rasmussen f***ing stupid? What the hell was he doing. Whatever hit can’t be puck watching in the nhl bud

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

That's the cutting across headshot they usually do crack down on.

...how is a BLIND SIDE HEAD SHOT the fault of the guy that got tagged??...ask yourself your original query here...

 

[Terry Yake]

should get a game or two

 

[tarheelhockey]

Some of the responses in this thread are wild. This checks lots of boxes that usually correspond with suspension. Very late, very high, from the blind side, picked the head, no defensive purpose beyond just taking a run at the guy. No reason this shouldn’t result in discipline.

 

[ohcomeonref]

How’d the rest of Zegras night go?

Wings make it hell, or do nothing?

The Wings were as flaccid in responding to this hit as the team has been in general for several years running

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Should be 5+ games, that’s as bad as it gets really

Because he did some dumb shit and left himself in a vulnerable position like this isn’t a contact league?

...speaking of dumb shyte...

 

[Lyons71]

Ooh he’s gonna sit games for that hit.

 

[Coffee]

how many will he get though ?

 

[nbwingsfan]

How many games?

Also noteworthy that Rasmussen is 6'6". Even if he's bent over that's a pretty high place to hit.

How in the hell was that not a penalty.

That’s as blatant of a headshot as it gets, and add in that it’s extremely late

You pretty much have to injure someone to get 5+ these days.

...unless you're Matt Rempe...then it's pretty much a given now...
