Beleskey Questionable Hit on Stepan (Broken Ribs) BONUS: Viggy vs Fatso

[Mathew Barzal]

Media storm following:

Quote

"I remember Aaron Rome in this building, .6 seconds late, getting suspended four games in the Stanley Cup Final."

Quote

Julien on Hank: "I know he does some acting on the side, but it doesn't need to be on the ice."

 

 

[Shift-4]

That's on Stepan. Doesn't brace himself at all.

[Tre Mac]

Who's Hank?  I guess while we're at it who is DJ Bean?

Edited my OP with related gif of the play. 

EDIT: If you haven't seen Hanks suberb commercials.

 

Bruins reporter.

Nuff said.

Aye Henrik Lundvisk is Hank, yeah that was a pretty brutal dive by him.

[The Lock]

On the hit on Stepan: it's pretty apparent that Beleskey made a push towards Stepan after Stepan moved the puck forward. Beleskey could have just as easily pushed in the direction of the puck instead of moving towards Stepan. The hit seems quite avoildable looking at that gif.

On Henrik's "dive": I don't think that gif shows enough to rule either way. At least it doesn't to me.

[Odd.]

bruins are ****

If anyone should get suspended it's Ratchand for that headshot on the King. Beleskey's wasn't that bad IMO.

Late hit nothing more than 2 min. 

And the dive job from the head shot from the rat was rat worthy by hank.

If one guy gets suspended and the other guy is out injured so be it.  Guys must learn TO NOT hit to the head, unless they are bare knuckle fighting of course.

Late but no way dirty.  Not his fault he is stronger than Stepan and can easily send him flying into the boards.

People criticized Luongo here for being a diver, when I really never saw him do it much...They all do it lol

[Master Mind]

Stepan had no reason to brace himself, the puck was long gone before Beleskey hit him. Worse than Rome's hit.

Good for Lundqvist. Everyone should embellish when Marchand is involved, take advantage of his reputation.

[TOMapleLaughs]

Dafq?  Stepan just fell into the boards...

What happened to bracing for hits?

[khay]

Lundqvist should be suspended 1 game for diving. Marchand would never do such thing as to purposefully skate through the goalie's head.

Stepan 4 games for not bracing himself for the hit, oh wait, broken rib you say? He can serve his suspension during the 1st round of the playoffs.

[GB5]

That is a late hit but Stepan could avoided injury by having some situational awareness and knowing what is around him. 

[canuck73_3]

Beleskey hit was fine just unfortunate result.

As for Marchand he did initiate contact with Lundqvist, that was a Mike Smith like dive.

[Delta76]

Stepan just can't take contact and he probaby launched himself into the boars to sell it. 

He was inside te circle and got shoved into the boards. I don't think even Gaudreau would get sent that far.

Exactly this.

 

my thoughts after watching it the second time were: you need to protect yourself there bud.

Stepan out 4-6 weeks. Wonder how much that factors in to a potential suspension.

Shouldn't factor in at all. 

The onus is on Stepan
