I call this a hit that had a bigger guy up against a smaller one who wasn't really commited to a direction...was going one way, but sort of had trouble grabbing the puck and halted a bit. I don't think it was intentionally "dirty". A bit careless maybe. And the bad rep thing just supports the point that some of us are making here. Refs are supposed to officiate without bias and with a clean sheet...NOT carry things over from game to game as they label them. I don't think he "saw then went for his numbers". I think that momentary hesitation factored in to presenting his numbers to him as he went in to make a hit. your probably right there either way a better play could have been made.

And now hes on DoPS' radar and if this hit gets him 1-2 games the next infraction will probably be in the 5-7 range. Gudbranson has played nearly 350 NHL games so he's already gained any reputation he has and doesn't need to try and impress anybody with dumb hits that cost his team games. you seem to forget he missed most of last season and he is on a show me contract presently he does need to reestablish his reputation just read the boards here people are all over the place over the past year about the value of gud some still hate that trade i have always liked it .. but even i am not clear on whether gud has a strong role moving forward fast, skilled, puck moving dmen are in vogue he needs to establish his value and presence as a desirable dman on an nhl team and he has been doing that so far this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOPS doesn't care about the game outcome. I think the only thing that saved him from a bigger suspension was Kassian's hit. If Guddy had got 3 or 4 games and Kas noting thats even too blatant for those chowder sucking scumbags in DoPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davathor Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I dunno. That's pretty soft. I think the size difference made a bigger difference than anything else, and he turned away from the hit. He'll probly get 1 game anyways, because in the new wimp NHL you grt penalized for hitting the fast midgets who are 'exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 4 minutes ago, Shekky said: your probably right there either way a better play could have been made. Thing is, at game speed these things happen because there isn't a whole lot of time/room for assessing... You're gliding in for a check on a guy going for the puck in this direction...he should, by all accounts, continue in that direction with the puck. His skates both facing in the direction we'd assume he'd be going in. In which case, Guddy's would be a shoulder to shoulder check. But he fumbles the puck a bit, has to put on the brakes and sort of turns backward. So Guddy didn't really have the ability to process all that info as he glided in for what should have been a routine check of a guy behind the net. Again, a little careless, but my God...people saying it's dirty need to get over it. Unless they are the second cousin of those officiating the game, in which case I don't imagine they will. Notice his skates in this one?...he's put on the brakes to grab the puck and "decide" where he'll go with it. So not really protecting himself against a hit in any way and actually turning his numbers toward Guddy rather than following in same direction he'd started in. He owns some responsibility in this if we're going to scream foul here. In slow mo and hindsight? Sure. But in game speed and with a change of direction and body positioning...happens.

Lucky for Kass, he's not wearing a Canucks jersey any more. Looked like he could have broken the guy's neck. If I was a player and had the choice, I would much rather take the Guddy hit than the Kass hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
