MayRayDown Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Should be 7 games. Made no effort to change his angle and helmet to helmet+ injury. 7 or 0 games. Knowin how the league thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raph Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Honestly, I find players who are boneheads more dangerous than ones with malicious intent. He's skating hard as if he were at centre ice or something and doesn't even slow down at all. I would personally suspend stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Should be 7 games. Made no effort to change his angle and helmet to helmet+ injury. 7 or 0 games. Knowin how the league thinks Give him 15, he had plenty of time then chose to commit that atrocious play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I don't know the extent of the injury, but hopefully his season isn't over because of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Sometimes players think they have the right to steamroll a goalie if they're cutting to the net. I've seen it before where no effort is made to avoid contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Wtf, what has he suppose to do spin back, and hit the back of his head on the crossbar? He tried stopping and avoiding contact but he was coming in really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Burrows 14 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Maybe two for goalie interference but that's all. He was going full speed cutting to the net. He couldn't get out of the way and his intent was not to hit lehtonen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The fact he goes head to head just tells you that he was tripped no one in their right mind would go head to head at that speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 It is reckless to be driving the net at that speed when all it takes is an errant stick caught in between skates to send a guy falling hard. It might not be totally his fault but a bonehead play and should be fined if not suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keccles Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 If you think about it a similar play broke Stamkos' leg. Imagine how is head feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes players think they have the right to steamroll a goalie if they're cutting to the net. I've seen it before where no effort is made to avoid contact. Did you guys even watch the video? How the hell is he supposed to avoid contact with the goalie on one leg? Booth drives harder to the net than this guy FFS. So dumb. EDIT: Here's a better angle.

Xbox Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I feel bad for both Haula and Lehtonen. I dont think it was intentional. 0 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 It was unintentional as his balance was clearly compromised by that leg sweep and it's basically impossible stop or control yourself on ice at high speeds on 1 leg with no stability. If he gets suspended the NHL is making a mistake and might as well just suspend players who get pushed into goalies or change the rules to say players can't skate towards the net fast.

Booth drives harder to the net than this guy FFS. So dumb. EDIT: Here's a better angle. Stop with his left foot... Or try to turn sharply. These guys are NHL'ers, I've seen them stop in shorter distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
