babych Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 No intent. Perfect legal hockey play. Hossa even backed into it while trying to catch the puck. If Hansen is suspended... by God, someone will die. Keith only got 5 for an intentional premeditated head shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rounoush Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Purely accidental by Hansen. Just watch, he will get a suspension just because Hossa was injured on the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 1 principle point of contact is the head 2 the player left his feet 3 The player acted recklessly 4 the player was not playing the puck ... 5 GAME Suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 canuck fans are so funny, there was an aggressive action by Hansen after he realized he wasn't getting the puck. Hockey is a fast game until the puck is straight up in the air. I believe he was trying to shove Hossa over but ended up high. I think he gets a game or 2...

Sugar baby watermelon Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 On another note, not a dirty play, come on, it's Hansen, he is the tenacious honey badger not the dirty rat, and of course because this happened the Canucks become more evil by the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I personally don't think it was intentional. But I would not be upset if he got his wrists slapped. A fine; or one game? Still hit his head, and abolishing hits to the head should be supported. More than one game, too heavy > very light contact! Like being obligated to be responsible for your stick; intentional or not? But it'd be funny if a player actually went to court asking for his pay back for the league being hypocrites. For example Weise was jumped and sucker punched by Bickell after he delivered a clean hit. I would argue that punch in the head was FAR more likely to cause a concussion and he had every right not to be intentionally sucker punched???

forklift_ole Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if he got a game for being "reckless", but there was certainly no intent there. Hansen has no history of dirty play, he was obviously reaching for the puck as the two men crashed together, and he only got a two minute minor, which Shanahan takes into account. Still, he'll feel the need to make some sort of statement, especially in Hossa has a concussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Having watched it again, I have to marvel at the hypocrisy on here. I don't what it was meant to be but I KNOW WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE. We'll just have to wait on the outcome of the inquiry. Suffice to say if it had been the other way round the BC Militia would be having all leave cancelled and told to report at 08.00 hrs for manoeuvres.

tas Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 my gut feeling at the time was hansen opportunely used the puck as a way to disguise his intentional headshot. it was in the way he lunged; not a catching motion, more of a punching/elbowing motion. his comments afterwards, pleading utter ignorance, confirmed my belief. he should get a game or two.

Noseforthenet Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If I had a nickel for every time Hossa has put himself in a vulnerable position on the ice, how many nickels would I have? Anybody?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 how is grabbing a puck out of the air a "vulnerable position" in any instance where someone isn't being cheapshotted? Give me a break. If someone's going to "cheap shot" another they don't do it by stretching in the air with a reach over the top like that. It's subtle and sneaky. This was purely coindicental contact and Hossa backed in as Hansen was focused on the puck. No different than this reach for a puck in the air....had someone been backing in here, we'd have the exact same scenario. So don't talk like it was a criminal act....he was trying to glove the puck down, as is down by players every single game. This shot was from last night (we have great photographers) Put a guy backing up in front of him and we have the same deal here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendythirteenthrashers Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Man just listening to the drivel coming from johnathon toews and media drones like kevin weekes you'd think jannik hansen tried to murder hossa.... If SHANNY and company watch any tape they'll see that hansen is always batting pucks outta the air and is mos def not a 'dirty' player.....

tas Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 take off the goggles. watch the play. watch hansen lunge in a striking motion. read his comments after. yes, it was sneaky. and yes, it was intentional. edit: @ deb furthermore, have you ever seen anyone else injured while reaching for a puck, of all the thousands of times the same play has happened since the dawn of the game? I haven't. because the only way an injury happens on that play is if it's intentional. there isn't enough force in a reaching motion to concuss someone. that requires a deliberate strike.

DooBie604 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Haha....it's hilarious how many new accounts there are on this thread claiming they are Canuck fans but saying it was a dirty hit. There was zero intention here and if this is what the NHL has become, its a joke. I once jumped for a puck and landed on a player half bent over and fell awkwardly to the ice and dislocated my shoulder. Did it suck? Yes. Did I wine and complain it was dirty? No. Did that player get penalty? No because this isn't the NHL. If you play the game of hockey expect there to be accidental contact or don't play the damn game! If every time a player gets hurt it warrants a suspension then this league is quickly becoming a joke and it's sad that a lot of fans actually view this as suspendable. And for Toews, I used to respect the guy but more and more I am starting to see how double standard and blind he is with his comments on the Keith hit and then now his comments about the accidental contact with Hanson. Daniel didn't even ask for an apology from Keith on a premeditated head shot and here is their captain calling for a suspension on an accidental play. The hatred for the Canucks and double standard people hold them to make me sick. Somehow we are the dirtiest team in the NHL still yet almost all of our current players have no suspension history.
