Tom Sestito Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Split opinion on this hit. Doesn't look like there was intent to injure, but since he got injured the league will take it into consideration (which is the dumbest thing about their suspensions) Oh, and because Toews is a superstar.

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 guy gets pushed into boards from behind. You say no intent to injure. Either your trying way too hard to channel your inner Tom Sesstio or your joking because you can clearly see a push from behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 lol split decision? he hits him from behind head first into the fracking boards, he better get suspended. Looked like a normal hockey play, just with a shitty end. It seemed like seidenberg's intent was to get the puck. Maybe that's just me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2xtreme Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'm no fan of Jonathan Toews, but this is pretty obviously a hit from behind on a player in a prone position. Seidenberg needed to take another route to the puck, come in at a different angle, pin Toews to the boards and dig the puck out. When you see the numbers like that, you can't go straight through and drive them into the boards. This should be a suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 For comparison, there's been two suspensions this season for boarding. Both two games, one on Kane and one on Nolan. Both were coming from far away and obvious checks from behind. In comparison to these, I don't see how it's anything more than a fine. @xtreme, Yeah, he could see the numbers. But, Seidenberg pushed off to the right of Toews' #19 which to me looked like he was trying to go side by side and bump Toews off of the puck I guess I'm in the vocal minority here so I'll back off now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Looks like a bad hit. Toews has some concussion issues. Like to see what the DPS gives this one really. Had to be a minimum of 2 games as per the flavour of the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Wow, OP really has his Canucks homer glasses on. Dangerous hit, which every player learns in Pee-Wee is unacceptable. Suspension, 5-10 games, due to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Yeah I don't like this one. He can't be pushing a guy and encouraging his body to fly into the boards. He has to know that with where Toews is, a push of any kind will send him right into the boards. That's a nasty looking hit. Toews has a bit of a history too. Hope he's ok.

Tom Sestito Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Injury. Plus I'm not lettg personal bias cloud my judgement. I have nothing against Toews. He's one of my favorite players. For a long time, I've thought injury was a stupid way to dictate the severity of a hit. But you're right, it is one of the ways the NHL does make their decision so I'll agree with you.

Warhippy Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I feel as though it's right in that 2 foot danger zone the DPS has harped on so often the last few seasons Can't brace can't do anything but eat board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dasein Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Wow, OP really has his Canucks homer glasses on. Dangerous hit, which every player learns in Pee-Wee is unacceptable. Suspension, 5-10 games, due to injury. Geez I don't know if it's a homer call when it's a Bruin destroying a Hawk.. A true homer would call this a definite suspension, Seidenberg a dirty rat and Toews a diving f*ck. That being said, I'm not convinced it's dirty either. They were side to side going up to the puck and Seidenberg pushes him and Toews was in a vulnerable position, which is unfortunate. Seidenberg doesn't charge like the two suspended hits above, but I guess it could be a suspension because: a - the player was in a vulnerable position and Seidenberg could have let up b - the player was injured c - the player was Toews, a superstar It could also not be a suspension because: a - Seidenberg is a Bruin EDIT: btw, status on Toews? Did he return or was he done for the game? Any reports on his health? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
