I've looked at it several times. It's not like Edler actually stuck it out... he just didn't pull it in. Objectively, I don't think this is suspension worthy. 

Same, also they should factor in the timing issue of being sick and not playing for a month. It was a brain fart, nothing else.

 

Love Nylander’s comments that it was dirty. What a loser

Holtby’s save will be remembered for a while.

I just spent a few minutes looking at Leafs Twitter and fans are up in arms over the hit and the lack of pushback. I could only find a few that weren’t full of NSFW language. Surprisingly there was a lot of “there won’t be any suspension cause it was against the Leafs,”  feeling oh so hard done by.

They were too demoralized from having such subpar goaltending.

[SergioMomesso]

If Hyman doesn't try to avoid the hit, there is no knee on knee. What is Edler supposed to do? lift his leg and let Hyman go by with the puck?

[Devron]

Resilient Team man. This is the stuff that made us that bubble team last year. It was a rough start but I can’t knock this team, what a great group. That win last night.. that’s some heavy team building shiz. And what a great captain and leader we have. 
 

Again just wow! Incredible performance

Disagree completely. 

 

Eddy has a history of this.

Edler's trajectory never changes......he's on the same track from the moment he lines Hyman up.  It's Hyman who changes position to avoid being hit.

 

He'll likely get suspended, but it's just another move to remove hitting from a game.  No different than the player who makes a sudden turn back against the flow and gets hit from behind.  Hyman put himself in a dangerous situation rather than just taking a hit

Could you imagine if the Habs end up with one more point than us at the end of the year? I think back to that one game where the refs (one from Quebec) were so horribly calling the Canucks game vs. the Habs game where they missed a high stick causing Myers to go down with a big cut, then Habs tie it up with like a minute left, giving the Habs an undeserved point before we beat them in OT.

There were two games, that one and the one after it, where the refs blew it again, helped the Habs tie, and they went on to win OT or SO.  Canucks should have had 4 pts and the Habs none, but we each ended up with 3.

 

I wonder if that moron ref ever apologized to Rooster for penalizing him for the Hab player who fell over all by himself.  Turns out Rooster knew exactly what he did.

Not a repeat offender according to the letter of the law, however.

 

What he did in the past will have zero bearing on whatever the DOP(e)S decide.

 

Talk about playing with words (not you but the DoPS in general). He's been suspended before and that will have an impact on his judgment. He is a repeat offender, even though his past 18 months (and the vast majority of his career as well) have been clean as a whistle.

That looked like the kind of save Irbe woulda made!

So true, it didn’t take fans long to turn on Campbell. 

 

This Twitter/highlights overlay is pretty funny. I put it under spoiler for language.

Or Hrudey would attempt but can’t execute because he’s flopping on his belly

Some will try to convince us that it was better to lose tonight and focus on a pick.  I say these pictures tell the real story...these types of wins bond a team and makes them harder to play against down the road because they've been through the war together.

 

Tell me again how this win "hurts" us?

 

Aww, Deb, that's easy to explain.

 

Under the assumption that our shared hopes don't materialize and we miss the playoffs, this win might have cost us a place or two in the standings, letting some other teams draft before us, taking players that JB ranked lower than the one he would draft anyway.

we're not going to be bad enough for a top 5 pick, so the team might as well go for it and play as well as they can and land somewhere between 11 and 17. No one has enough scouting information this year to make any meaningful BPA ranking in that range anyway.

Haha i know right.  I thought they were going to do a tribute video and induct him into the hall of fame before that was over. 

Since there is no official comeback player of the year award I fully expect he will be nominated for the Bill Masterton Award for exemplifying perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to the game. He must have been very traumatized.

Who skates with their knee out like that lol. What's the purpose of it. Cant be efficient.

[TheCammer]

Knew this win would bring out the "Tank"-gang. Seriously, these are professional athletes that want to win and excel and perform well enough to get another contract. Teams don't tank for a higher draft pick. Just give your heads a shake after pulling them from your ..... Did any of you ever play a sport? Do you have a modicum of pride?

 

Why would anyone want to cheer for a team that deliberately pulls the chute? 

 

Rant over. Thank you. That is all.
