Agree 100% with this section. Regardless of blame, one of stars is now injured, and there wasn't even an attempt at pushback. Even if a player does put themselves in a vulnerable position, we need to create an environment where opposing players think twice about taking advantage. It's not like we're talking about a one time thing here. Petey war targeted last season, and the story was the same. No pushback. If we respond as soon as Matheson chokeslams Petey, maybe Tierney thinks twice about taking advantage of Boeser last night. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams need to second guess themselves every time an 'opportunity' like that arises. Bottom line is that a star player is now out with a concussion....again, and yet again nothing was done about it. Hell, our coach even called it a "hockey play" (seems weird to me that a "hockey play" gets a penalty at all, but whatever). When there's no pushback, and the coach of player that was targeted is actually covering for the player that threw the hit, players and coaches from opposing teams are going to know that they have free reign over our star players. If somebody sarcastically asks whether or not we should "retaliate every time one of our players is hit?", my answer would be "You goddamn right we should". Green said that was a hockey play? Would like to hear that. I would actually fire him over that if I were his boss. Even if he's right he shouldn't say that. Green is a goof if he said that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacEwen!! Shaller!! You had one job.... to prove your worth... If they have instruction from the coach not to retaliate I these occasions then they are sealing there fate by going after him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austy Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 https://youtu.be/nlXJ3LIWEfY The first hit on Giroux is kinda similar. Like the response from Philly. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thànks 48 Are we that bias as Canuck fans that we think that was a dirty hit when it wasn't. I think I'm a pretty objective guy and that hit seemed completely what the league has been trying to get rid of. Dissapointed in green for sure .

6string Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Watched Green's ( another ) disappointing interview. The new era coach so PC'd from the engineering machine doesn't even defend Brock for a moment. He simply speaks like there is nothing to see here... SMH. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would go off if they saw their star player get injured from a dirty hit in preseason. I thought the same thing, Torts would blow up if a journalist suggested that was a hockey play! Crow would have ensured instant karma. Green is new age: Managing escalation is to stop and take a step back kinda guy. Kumbaya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfor42 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Here's the thing. 1 the nhl protocol on concussions is designed to protect the league from lawsuits. It is not designed to protect players. 2 If coaches or management speak out they are subject to fines/censure. So they say things like it's unfortunate but it's a hockey play. 3. The players know you can injure people and the repercussions are always less for the injurer than the injuree. This is the reality. Sad that this league protects itself and it's owners while exposing it's young stars. Sad. Sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
