I don't care if people are trying to hit you all game if you have to respond with a vicious elbow then you're just as bad if not worse. It's alright for him to send a message at someone else's expense?? That's a piss poor excuse. You can see the instant regret of Hoglander right after. He knew he &^@#ed up. The guy dropped instantly only trying to stick check Hog. No way to protect himself and see that coming. Got the full blunt of that elbow. That's not a hockey play. There are ways to counter physical play and that's not one of them. If that happened to anyone of our players nobody would be fine with it and nobody would think it was a hockey play. I care if people are trying to catch our guys with big hits all game. I do want them to respond any way they know how. I have no issue with Hoglander sending a message. And yes, I do have a double standard. I want our guys to always be the ones dishing out the hurt and never want them be on the receiving end of it. And lord knows, we have been. I hope Petey elbows Matheson into oblivion next time he sees him. I hope Keith gets a career ending concussion. I hope Tierney gets boarded into the stands next time we play Ottawa. I'm a Canucks fan. What's your point? Edited October 3, 2019 by Vanuckles 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw Bess just get concussed because of a bad check into the back. Hockey is a violent game. We want our guys to be more violent than the other teams. "If you can't be them in the alley, you ain't beating them on the ice." This isn't the old days. Head shots aren't going to be as acceptable. There's a reason why about 137 NHLers got a settlement.

There were plenty of attempts to take his head off in the last highlight package I mentioned earlier, and he finally decided enough is enough and wanted to send a message early in the game before he got a concussion. No issues with hit. Call me classless all you want, like I give 2 sh**s what someone on an hockey forum thinks of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a dumb ambiguous term. I believe Green came to that realization after having used it. Maybe you might want to reconsider it usuage as well? As for Hoglander, it doesn't appear he did this with an attempt to injure. The opposing player positioned his head at Hoglander's shoulder height which was very unusual for a player to do - especially given that Hoglander himself is a pretty short individual. I don't think anyone really wants to see hockey players injured in general, but I think most, if not all, of us Canuck fans would agree that we want to see our players have a little pushback so that they aren't vulnerable themselves to unsuspecting hits or cheap shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be a pretty vague term hence why I am not going to argue about it. A lot of people can have their own definition of it but it is not the point of my arguement. I am not calling Hoglander a dirty player but that was a dirty play. I am upset of the fact that people find it acceptable. It's classless. We can have pushback. ie. Petey reverse check, he didn't need a elbow for that. Or actually stand up for each other when $&!# like that happens to us instead of responding one cowardly act with another. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 There really is no excuse for clearly sending an elbow straight through someone's head in any situation. The fact that some people are proud of the double standard they hold in regards to hits to the head is honestly kind of disgusting. I don't think Hoglander meant to do that, but he did it and he'll probably get slapped with a suspension for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those attempted hits weren't even in the same game! If you want to respond physically he in the damn players face and respond. Enough of this shady ass bull $&!#. This is a mans sport if you have a problem respond as such instead of elbows or hits from behind. It's &^@#ing cowardly man don't you see the point?!?!? I am going to call it how I see it. Regardless of whether or not you care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyezone Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I don’t mind this at all. It’s unfortunate that a playet was injured but As an undersized guy sometimes you have to “sharpen your elbows” to get some room and reapect out there. I believe Shane O’Brien gave that exact advice regarding Petterson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaManbeast Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I don't think he meant to hit the guy clean in the head and knock him out. But he did. So he deserves a suspension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 We finally have a replacement for Burrows. Love it. Hoglander is going to be my favourite player. My countryman is doing excellent. I cannot wait for him to come to Vancouver and play with me... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks need more players that will do that to other teams as other teams do that to the Canucks all the time. I am sick of the Sedin speed bag response. I am sick of seeing plugs like Matheson body slam our young superstar. Sick of seeing plugs level guys like Naslund.....I didn't mind Bertuzzi breaking Moore's neck....he deserved it. Moore was not even an NHLer yet he takes out one of the stars of the league fans pay to watch. No one pays to watch some idiot like Moore. I hope Hoglander keeps up that mean streak. We can surely use it. Edited October 4, 2019 by Kanukfanatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just said if you want to play a mans sport then stand up and act accordingly instead of cowardly. If you don't like someone then get in their face, don't hit them from behind or elbow them. No place for dirty plays that can ruin peoples lives. It's disgusting and cowardly. Complete lack of class and no integrity for the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry it doesn't let you feel 'safe'. Oh...and by the way. Cowards don't have the guts to do what Hoglander did there. Cowards sit back, take a beating, smile, and apologize for their teeth cutting the other guys fist. Coward......haha.....sure pal. Edit: ...and integrity for the game? Good god man!! Have you watch any games from the 70s or 80s? This isn't some foo foo bloody flag football game. These guys play hard and additionally, these days they play for tens of millions of dollars. Only the elite with extreme competitiveness make it and that is exactly who Hoglander is. Edited October 4, 2019 by Kanukfanatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
