Poor guy, he ended up bleeding heavily and with a concussion... 

 

I don’t know what was McCarron was thinking, Brendan doesn’t even have a puck. It was a dirty hit.

Targeted hit.  No penalty and no suspension.  Vigilante justice is the only way to keep guys inside the rules.  Will there be another Steve Moore incident soon?

That was brutal.  Not even part of the play. 
poor guy. 

Seems like the referees are incompetent as hell. The refs absolutely should've seen that hit. At MINIMUM, it should've been 2 minutes for interference. Should've been a major however.

Dirty for sure, sickening that the ref didn't even call it a penalty. This type of hit albeit rare is why your team better be willing to MAN up and do something about it. If you see a teammate get hit like that or taken out it should be instinct to go after the guy if your on the ice, or if your on the bench you make sure the next time you hop over the boards your running full speed like a bowling ball at every single player on the other team. If you happen to see the guy on the ice who did that hit, you go and fight him like a MAN.

 

Hockey is a physical sport, people who think it needs to be out of the game should buy a Euro league hockey subscription, where there is next to no hitting. If Canuck players get run and we do nothing about it I will stop watching them, this isn't senior league hockey its the fastest game on 2 feet and there will always be an element of physicalness in hockey...especially in the PLAYOFFS!

Hope Gauncey is alright.

 

apparently, when they tried to stand him up, he couldn't keep his legs under him and appeared to be heaving / breathing incredibly labourously.  Very scary hope he recovers fully and quickly

Video if you scroll down in the article

 

he was trying to walk on the ice and falling forward, I don't think he knew he was on ice.... had about 6 people holding him up trying to get him moving before putting him back down.
