Lol virtanen definitely chicken winged a little.. the initial point of contact was made with the elbow regardless of where it made contact with perreault.. shoulder head doesnt matter.. virtanen been great this year but I'm not a fan of his lack of toughness. He lays big hit and questionable hit once in a while but runs away everytime when challenged. Hes always the last man in and first man out in scrums around the net.

Didn't appear like Virtanen elbowed him in the head I don't think? 

Wish we had another angle.

I agree with others here, it just seems like Virtanen's bracing himself.

 

All in all, I like that Perreault is calling out DOPS.

We need more of that.

They're so bad.

I remember it from the game clearly and the camera angle from center ice was a much better view, it was 100% shoulder. It was clearly a case of MP running into Jake but Jake leaned into him when he saw it coming instead of trying to avoid. Jake could have gotten 2 for interference but Perreault is way off base expecting DOPS to deal with minor collisions like this.

the center ice view:

So will Colin Campbell get involved here? I seem to remember that loathsome turd showing up in Vancouver after Gudbranson stated that Matt Martin was dead, and lecturing the team on retribution pre-game.

 

Guddy's comments weren't directly to a reporter at all, merely overheard by Dan Murphy who proceeded to air it on Twitter, like an idiot.

 

Seeing as how Perreault was speaking to a reporter directly, therefore effectively quoting him, and stated that he intends on using his stick to exact retribution, this should involve, at the very least, the same level of involvement by league brass, if not more.

 

Personally, silence from the league, is a direct indicator that the Canucks are under a different set of standards and rules than other teams in the league.

He turned into Jake and wasn't looking where he was going.

Jake was in that spot and did lean into the hit a little but what else would you do. 

He didn't rise up or stick out the elbow.

I think Perreault needs to look where he is going.  He is mad because he skated into a bigger player.

Saying you are going to swing your stick at the next guy is dumb both if you have no intent to do it or if you do.  Every stick infraction from here out will be treated suspiciously for this guy.
