Matt_T83 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I honestly think Ekblad deserved what he got. Way too many NHL defencemen get away with all these crosschecks and slashes, even drawing penalties when players retaliate. If a D-man wants to play dirty like that fine, but answer the bell when someone challenges you to a fight. I have no respect for players that dish out cross-checks and slashes, but won't fight when challenged. The NHL is turning into a coward's game.

DrJockitch Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I am confused is the coward who threw the sucker punch or the one that got hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you lace 'em up and go show all those coward's how it's done? I'm sure it'd be enlightening for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys who try to fight stars in mean-nothing preseason games are the cowards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I agree with OP...….. this is an unpopular opinion. It is also wrong, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone you punches an unwilling combatant is a coward. Ekbald cross checked Domi, so Domi should have just cross checked him back. Tit for tat. The referees once again prove themselves to be miserable failures. 16 minutes ago, Matt_T83 said: Way too many NHL defencemen get away with all these crosschecks and slashes, even drawing penalties when players retaliate.

Tons of players in the NHL cross check each other, and yet, only one gutless worm decided to sucker punch another. 16 minutes ago, Matt_T83 said: I have no respect for players that dish out cross-checks and slashes, but won't fight when challenged. The NHL is turning into a coward's game. But you respect a POS coward who sucker punched another player. What a champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Start at 0:39 If you want a league where really soft cross checks result in punches to the faces of unsuspecting players, fine by me. But undestand that most of us don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
