Green Building Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thanks for the update Mack. I couldn't do it from work. NHL Player Safety @NHLPlayerSafety · 10m10 minutes ago Florida's Dmitry Kulikov has been suspended for four games for clipping Dallas's Tyler Seguin. Video: http://ow.ly/3x95f3 ............................................................................. Seguin out 3 to 6 weeks with injury after 'low play,' says Dallas Stars coach http://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/seguin-out-3-to-6-weeks-with-injury-after-low-play-says-dallas-stars-coach-1.2236938 "It's a play that I don't like," Ruff told reporters Saturday in Denver, hours before the Stars faced Colorado on the second night of a back-to-back. "It's a dirty, low play that I don't like. The league doesn't like it, and I want to see the league deal with it." ............................................................................. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V46mXRsmkA This hit will be polarizing. Kulikov goes medium low, JUST at, or above, the knees of Seguin. Do people want to see this hit in the game? I love a great open ice hipcheck, but this was just an awkward hit with the point of contact is clearly at the knee/thigh level. My opinion? If the league is going to have the officials call it clipping, then it should be suspension worthy. Anything around the knee area is dangerous. Just ask Mike Bossy.

Green Building Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 But only because it's on Seguin right? Karma. Otherwise it would be a dirty hit in your opinion? Or same either way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 That was a terrible hit. Was nothing close to a hip check. 2-3 games for Kulikov. If Seguin is out a while then Dallas is done. They had just begun to turn it around and were right in the thick of things. Huge blow for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Seguin said about them was "they are weird". Nothing wrong with weird. I have twins as my friends before and it was weird how eerily similar their actions can be. Benn was the one who made the comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Seguin is out a while then Dallas is done. They had just begun to turn it around and were right in the thick of things. Huge blow for sure. I agree it was not a hipcheck, actually if you freeze frame it it was an armpit or rib check. Do you think Dallas being "done" if Seguin is out long term should play into any further discipline? someone should just paste the 3 straight pages in the gdt this was discussed Do it. Meh who knows what else him and Benn do togather. Seguin might kneed him to Bennd over backward for him over the next little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to assume one way or the other. And I'm not a fan of low/submarine knee level hits. Too many careers ended that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tystick Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Probably unintentional considering Kulikov was on all fours, but definitely suspension worthy none the less. I really have no sympathy for Seguin, karma's a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
