KING ALBERTS Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 If my eyes serve me correctly, Weise sticks his elbow out at Hall and hits him with only the elbow. Looked intentional to me because the original hit was going to miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Interesting that they are reviewing these 2 plays (which they should), but aren't reviewing the headshot on Andrew Alberts in the game prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlsson`s Flo Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Doesn't matter if it was accidental. Kassian was careless with his stick and because of it a guy is out indefinitely from carelessness. I wouldn't be surprised if Kass got 2 games. Weise wasn't pretty either.

BI3KSA- Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 If he hit him with only the elbow I don't think hall would have been up 2 seconds later, unharmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksLegacy Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Ok so I was reviewing the video....and I tried to take screenshots how it happened. I'm not trying to appear bias to any of you or anything, i'm just calling it how I see it. Weise leading with the shoulder Here's where it gets interesting....this the closest I could pause to prior to actual contact. As you can see, his arm is down and it seems like it's his shoulder that makes contact with his head. Not an elbow. The follow through resulted in this, where Weise had his elbow up, but that was after contact was made: From another angle: After contact was made, Weise's elbow seems fairly parallel to his body (almost like a shrug): It's a fast game, things happen in split seconds. I can understand how people can see how people think Weise led with his elbow, but I personally think it was just his follow through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Only ignorant people can't clearly see that Weise was leading w/ his elbow. If they couldn't have seen it fast paced, they still won't see it here and will continue to defend their egos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetica Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Watch the Gif at the top of the thread it is pretty clear that he does lunge upwards towards Hall's head with his elbow or shoulder and IMO that is the offence. I agree he doesn't hit him but he intended to and that is what should be looked at when assesing these types of plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insomniac604 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I think Kassian's body language will help him get off easy. You can tell he didn't have his balance so his arm flail wasn't intentional. I like the screenshots from the Weise hit. He didn't lift his elbow but still made contact with the head. Maybe a fine for not being more careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Weise will get a suspension probably 2-3 games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 O please, it's a well known fact that a large portion of season ticket holders are too rich to care about the Canucks; so telling me you fork out 30k a year for watching hockey games does not convince any of us that you're not an oilers sympathizer. We have seen this type of thing before on these forums. Clearly Weise did not elbow the weasel from emonton, was a shoulder hit by a career honorable tough guy. You can argue Weise is not the best player, that's for another discussion, but for you to attack his character like this by accusing him of this so called dirty hit exposes who you cheer for.

BI3KSA- Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 The screens posted make it look like an elbow to me, and the replays live looked like one too. The CBC cast all agreed on it right when it happened, and I agree with them, it looks like an elbow to the head. now i'll admit, the view point is pretty terrible, but still, looks like an elbow to me.

BI3KSA- Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yeah, because CBC is a trustworthy source. Especially when they kept calling players by the wrong name all night. Plus, even the refs didn't think it was an elbow. They simply called it a head hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 If Kassian gets suspended it'll be for the outcome, not the actual high stick, which is unfortunate. Weise's could probably be suspension worthy. It looks like intent to injure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
