Down by the River Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 If the only way you can get noticed in camp is to lay out one of your own teammates in a scrimmage, you weren't going to make the team anyway. It's a scrimmage. You get told in rep tryouts from the earliest of ages that the point isn't to take each others' heads off. It was a stupid play from a thick-headed kid not understanding the context of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violator Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Not really a dirty hit it was from the side and not from behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Don't worry, Boucher and Crow will fix all that. Bobby Ryan just getting his frustration out that he didn't get picked for Team USA, . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Hate when stuff like this happens in Sept. Haven't watched the Sens in a coon's age, but I'd guess MacArthur is nearly done. Think of long-term health, & hang'em up. He was a good little sniper for a while there. With Grabo & Kulemin(if I recall?), was a nice line...

RRypien37 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Hit was completely clean. Just not something you do in a team scrimmage and especially to a veteran player. MacArthur wasn't expecting it, but at the same time he is incredibly fragile. As mentioned before, if it was a guy like Neil getting hit the same way, they would've just bounced off each other.

I always thought Ryan could be a much better than (just) average player, if he brought a hard nosed, tough to play against physical game. Good for him. He's a very likeable person, from what I've heard of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Charging maybe? Clarke had his head down, turned and got rocked (might watch the video again though). But considering it's a scrimmage against your own players maybe relax a little. Honestly I can't say though. If I'm a bubble player playing for my life trying to make it to the big leagues I can't say for certain I wouldn't be playing my balls off.

Chris Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 If I was Neil/Ryan I probably would have Concussed the $&!# out of Sieloff. "Teammate of 3+ years, or guy I've known 5 minutes?" - Not much of a choice. What a complete &^@#head. Send that dumbass down to the E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hit was a blindside one though. Incredibly DUMB play that, even if MacArthur didn't get injured, would not cement a spot on the roster. Teams understand if you're "tough" but they want players that can contribute in all facets of the game. That's why the hit was incredibly dumb.

Had his head down. I admit the hit didn't need to happen though. Given the circumstances. And hits like these are on the way out so I guess I can see how this is pretty much all on Sieloff. Very unfortunate turn out regardless and hurts Sieloff and the team as a whole going forward. Hopefully MacArthur is okay and if not recovers quickly.

Problem is that he isn't expecting a hit - especially not at that magnitude and not in a scrimmage. Mayyybbee he had his head down during a time when he let his guard down. So yeah, it is all Sieloff's fault. What a dumb hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter if he had his head down or not. The hit should never have ben thrown in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad though, I love how ballsy he plays, and how his sneaky wrister always seems to fool goalies or produce rebounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's blindside, and I can't tell if it's a head-shot, but it looks like it may not even be a penalty. Seriously though, don't do it in practice.
