BrooksBurner Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I wish I was high right now. But even stone-cold sober, it's a clean hit to me, and I wouldn't give a shit if Buchnevich got caught the same way. The only thing I'd care about is if no one responded. No response would irritate me ala Girardi/Gaborik/Carcillo situation. Need to respond to certain things. Big, clean hits like this one included. Pageau did very well to respond, and with a new team that's a quick way to earn your teammates' and new fans' respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjweimar Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 You really think first contact was to the head?It's interesting to see that you knew sarcasm was involved but you took it seriously. How many times a day do you say "You're high if you think X, Y, Z"? It's an accepted form of banter, which I thought was what happened here.

Pete Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Hey dude, I'm just trying to say that comments like calling anyone who disagrees a homer and all that just derails the conversation. By all means continue on.It only derails of you take it to heart. I thought we were bantering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hit is definitely to the head, I watched the replay as much as you guys and we can all post a freeze frame that supports our position. The hit was predatory. It could have been avoided. The NHL has used this exact language to justify suspension or lack thereof. The fact that he could have avoided and made head contact are rules violations. And even if we want to argue they aren't, the NHL makes it up as it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for something that is the equivalent of two hand touch, this isn't the sport to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet here we are, after you spent all day on it lol...you take this stuff too seriouslyI didn't want to spend the day going back and forth with you, specifically, because you take it just as seriously and (like me) like to have the last word. So there's no point when, as I said, we're not changing each other's mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albatrosss Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Not a big fan of those kinds of hits. They usually end up in someone getting hurt. Its unnecessary. But it was legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could get used to this level of physicality real quick. :D Never disliked the Trouba signing and this is an example of an intangible that doesn’t show up on the score sheet. Love that we have someone throwing these hits every game. It's nice to see someone donning Rangers blue throw big hits. I haven't seen one in fucking years. If Trouba toes the line of legality while throwing these hits, fine - sign me the fuck up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy plays a ton better when he plays angry. He should be dropping the hammer more often; he's no lightweight either at 6' 3" 205lbs. He made a nice little statement the other night. I want to see him follow it up with a solid, ANGRY, game tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 It?s not so much that guys glossed it over, just some decided it?s illegal regardless because a whisper of his head was touched. It was legal. Point of contact was chest. His head is connected to that so of course it gets affected to. Refs and nhl got it right. For what it?s worth, listening to nhl network on Sirius all day so far and the consensus is legal check but if it was your player, you?d be pissed too. Or maybe your opinion is just different? I?ve listened to countless Islander fans calling up saying the hit was clean. Give the vitriol a rest for a change. It?s an opinion and interpretation of a hockey play. "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Keirik again." I spent the whole day listening to NHL Radio on Sirius as well. No one called it an illegal hit except a few whining Islander fans. Even most of them said it was a good hit. Figures I come on here and Pete, of all people, is whining about it being illegal.
