Not only that, the NHL will lose its appeal as a spectator sport. A lot of people watch hockey for the shear physicality of the sport. It will be the death of the NHL....

Baggins Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 6 hours ago, stawns said: Disagree Baggins........the puck carrier clearly turned his back after Guddy was committed to body contact. It was set to be a perfectly legal hit until he turned his back at the last second........no way Guddy could have stopped himself at that point. There wasn't a significant change to his body position at all. His back was to him the entire time. Watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweathog Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 It didn't look like there was intent to injure, but it was a suspension worthy hit. One game seems fair to me, the league made the right call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch it again. I accept that in the new NHL that’s a major, but guys play like it’s soccer and shield the puck by turning their backs. If you’re a really big guy (Jagr) you can get away with that, but these little guys get pounded, like they used to - when it wasn’t a penalty. You had to either accept the hit, spin out of it, or get killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeydownUnder Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Numbers were showing the entire time. Gudbranson could have skated towards the boards and got Vatrano from the side. Instead he waits and gets him in the back. 1 game was the right call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he 'waited' to hit him in the back, that would be a case for 'intent', which I don't see at all. The penalties and misconduct were sufficient. I'm not that bothered by the 1 game suspension.

If Guddy drops deep to cut him off on the boards, he's out of position. Guddy did hit the numbers, but Vatrano fully deserved it. That was some weak crap. Vatrano would actually be dead right now if he played prior to 2004. League's gotta start penalizing and suspending guys for risking themselves in situations like that. Lucky he didn't wind up with a broken neck for a PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboarder Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Boarding call can be subjective because interpretation what is boarding is not consensus in NHL circles. The referee would look at one play and says that it is boarding major while the other referee looks at the same play would say that it is minor. Some fans would say that it is not worthy of a suspension while other fans would say, yes, it's one gamer. I would say that boarding is minor and not worthy of a suspension while others will say that the call is justified. I factored the size difference and not much strides made to the board and is only a glide toward the board while other would say that he thruster into him. He wanted to separate the puck from the man, rather than stopping on the track and not hit on purpose and he would continue to have the puck. Who knows what his intention would be, stick-handling the puck or making a pass when he is receiving the puck until it's a last minute. You don't want him to him to continue freewheeling around the board with the puck and stop him on his track. So thus is the reason I factored that it's just a minor. To me, a boarding is when he stopped completely with the puck for a few second and hit from the behind. In this case, he was just colluding while both of them were on motion along the board and him stopping his track. I have laid my reasons why it is not a disciplinary offense or even a major penalty offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to either accept the hit, spin out of it, or get killed. Have you seen Horvat come in on the wing and cut to the net? He uses his body to shield the puck. There's nothing illegal in that. It certainly doesn't mean the defender can do as he pleases to him. Watch the video again Alf. Vatrano shoots left. He turned his body looking back and to reach across and play the puck along the boards. He had no idea Guddy was coming because he wasn't looking that direction. He didn't turn to protect the puck he turned to play the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
