I guess if you lightly brush somewhere else on the body you can still make main contact with the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I guess players should just skate like Raymond, all bent over, and point their heads at any oncoming check to deter contact. Principle contact will be unavoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

189lb enforcers? Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 IMO, the guy just used his body weight and did not actually run the runt over. Tree will fall to this soon enough, it cant be helped when your elbows are at the same height as the checks heads. Its never shoulder to shoulder when you're so tall.

How the NHL deemed principal point of contact wasn't the head on the Kadri hit is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the league is obviously protecting superstar VandeVelde and leaving the Sedin nobodies to fend for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been bitching for years about the league and it's clear match management. Specifically in how penalties called/not called. It is blatantly obvious how much corruption there is in officiating just by the ridiculous outcomes of these hearings by the POS that run the DOPES. but i am the crazy one lol THE NHL can seriously GFI !

I still hold that it should have been a suspension, and more than a game or two considering his history, but these hits are only similar, not the same. Oleksiak doesn't even brush the leading shoulder of VandeVelde, so there's no way to defend his hit. Of course if Oleksiak had taken a better line, or at least cut into VandeVelde to make the hit squarely through the body, he could have avoided this being a suspendable play. The ruling of the DoPS that Kadri making any contact at all with Daniel's shoulder is still a joke (as it's nowhere near hitting squarely through the body), but the difference in the shoulder contact is what clearly sets these two rulings apart. Complain that they still should have suspended Kadri, sure, but don't complain that these are exactly the same and evidence that there's a conspiracy to not suspend because of the jerseys players are wearing.
