joe-max Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Considering that he got 2 games for his first illegal check to the head in 2018, it should rather have been 3-5 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Looks like he's acting as though he didn't do anything when the play is whistled dn. If someone did that to Panarin the Rangers would be calling for double digit games suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That didn't look targeted at all, he just wanted to make contact.. He just wanted to make contact with the guy's head. Lined him up and delivered the force of the hit directly to the head. Good call by the dop(e)s, imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Two games seems like too much, but his previous history must play into that. Without that history, I think this is either one game or just a fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Call the league soft if you want... but this is the exact type of hit they've been trying to get out of the league for 5+ years. Guys like Lemieux probably don't have the attention span to sit through a 3 minute video from the league explaining which types of hit they are trying to get rid of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That didn't look targeted at all, he just wanted to make contact.. I love big hits but not to the head. More we became aware of head injury, more we are being caution. You would want to walk away the game being healthy and being able to support your family. Had they became aware of this danger from day 1 in late 1800's, the leaguer would go length to make sure that it's safe back then before we are born. Hits to head is not acceptable. Even Stevens' hit on Lindros would have been illegal in today's standard because it came from the shoulder to the head and the head is the principle of contact and it's impossible to avoid the head. So what the NHL needs to do is to make some amend to the rules in their rulebook for clarification so that this type of big hit can continue but as long as it's from shoulder to other body, not the arm to initiate the hit. I would love for the big hit to come back in a safer manner. Most often when the head hits the ice, concussion happens, your head hit twice, first from the player then head hit the ice, so that's a double whammy. We do not know which caused concussion, the player first or the ice aftermath of the hit. You might not get concussion from the hit but could get a concussion when your head hit the ice. It's impossible to know for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
