thad Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I think Hansen was careless but not reckless and shouldn't be suspended. That being said how is Hossa careless in all of this? Hossa was reaching for a puck and was (unintentional IMO) hit by a player that was behind him. If Hossa was careless by not looking behind them while reaching for a puck then every player reaching for a puck would be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForsbergTheGreat Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Karlsson severed 70% of his achilles tendon and skates off the ice. Hossa gets hit in the head by hansen, lays on the ice like he got shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea2Sky Country Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Honestly why is hossa so injury prone. A little shot to the head and his down. Perhaps faking an injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everybody Hates Raymond Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 There was a commentator who was a guest on TEAM 1040 today, who said that Hansen should be suspended, Is that your opinion? Because if it is, could you specify that. You got me scared that that was the actual decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magoomba Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Careless play by Hansen. No way he could reach the puck unless he jumped over Hossa. I'm okay with a 1-game suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kass9 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm okay with the 1 game suspension, didn't deserve one, but whatever. Is there a source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geebster Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Next? not quite yet... If you highstick a player and cut him its a bigger penalty than if you high stick him and don't cut him. Intent doesn't matter. If you elbow a player its a penalty, If you elbow a player in the head, its a head shot punishable by suspension. Intent is very hard to prove, see Cooke vs Karlsson incident. But when it comes to head shots its a bit different. Head shots are a serious issue in all sports right now, particularly NHL and NFL. The league is afraid of a class action law suit. They are not going to sit back and take a chance on head shots. Intent or no intent won't matter. Hansen's forearm/elbow came up and hit Hossa in the head from behind. NHL does not want that play in the game. I see a minimum of fine and maybe a suspension of 1 game. Edit. And please do indulge me on the other things you find I am wrong about.

SamJamIam Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 me too, he really doesnt deserve more than that. it was careless but there wasnt really any speed involved so the level of recklessness cant be argued very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panelguy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I don't trust the NHL to be honest and fair. They are selective when it comes to suspensions and fines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoted Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hossa dove. Hansen tapped him with his forearm, Hossa felt something on his helmet and flung himself forward. A UFC fighter couldn't hurt a little girl the way people seem to think Hansen hurt Hossa. You simply can't transmit any reasonable force with your forearm. Human beings just don't have the muscles to do it. Both players were at low speed, Hansen's arm was at an equally low speed, and his elbow never contacted Hossa's head. Without the explosiveness of an elbow or a punch, Hansen simply couldn't have hurt Hossa. If you don't believe me, try hitting something with your forearm outstretched. It's practically useless. You're more likely to hurt your arm because it's way too much surface area to hit something with. All these retarded American hockey pundits keep using the term "forearm shiver" because they acknowledge the forearm was the point of contact but have no hockey knowledge so they default to football. In football a forearm shiver is done by bracing your arms close to your body and using full-body momentum to deliver a blow. Just the weight and muscles in an arm are nowhere near enough to do damage. Hansen essentially waved his arm about in as threatening a manner as "the signal" in Team America, and Hossa went down. He's a puss, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gally Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I understand that the more concussions you have the more injury prone you are, but if that gives you a concussion, clearly you aren't ready to return to action. It looks to be like Hossa rushed his comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckelhead70 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hansen had position on the ice, where was the interference call on Hossa? If Jack Edwards (Bruins broadcaster) was the Canuck broadcaster last night. Can you believe that, Hossa skates backwards and jumps into Hansen's forearm and knocks himself silly.

Duda Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Not for a second can I believe that Hossa dove or was faking an injury. He has a history of concussion and if not that, easy enough to tweak something painfully. No way anyone can just watch a video reply and diagnose what happened.
