Does Foligno Get A Hearing For This "Move" on Myers?

[wpgallday1960]

Looks unintentional to me. Foligno looks to be falling and grabs on to Myers while doing so. A little reckless maybe but not dirty.

 

[Plub]

No. That was just unfortunate. Hardly on purpose.

 

[Babooch]

Masking a devastating punch with fulcrums and angular motions. It's the perfect crime.

 

[Hulide]

Seems pretty dirty from that angle.

thats not normal to use you right arm like that

 

[Bruce Granville]

Wait people think Foligno can skate???

He cannot. View post #1.

 

[Tom Hanks]

good luck trying to prove that he did it intentionally (if he did mean it)

You have a post like percentage of 00.3% You have shared your knowledge over 12,000 times and only 40 times did someone feel it was worthy to press the like link. That's incredible.

The ability to like posts is only a few months old. Can't go back in time and like posts that didn't even transfer with the board change over.

Even if Foligno intentionally punched (which he didn't) Myers in the leg, this minor tap is nothing compared to being punched in the face with actual leverage behind it. Something that happens all the time without repercussions.

 

[Chrisinroch]

Zero chance he gets looked at for falling awkwardly.

 

[Flair Hay]

Nah there won't be anything from this

 

[Channelcat]

Its just a natural reaction to the fall. Unless of course, Foligno is some sort of dirty ninja. Completely plausible I guess.

 

[rynryn]

anyone see any post games with players or coaches? Did this come up?

 

[Cellee]

What a garbage player.

 

[2Pair]

What a garbage player.

Myers is garbage because he fell down? Seems a little harsh

 

[Ban Hammered]

Nope.

You all are charmin soft...what happened to hockey fans? The league has somehow managed to make the game so soft and now so to are the fans. It’s a soft world we now live in. Obviously not a play with malicious intent just unfortunate.

I hope that someone will kick Foligno's ass for this. Myers is propably out quit long, and it wasn't accident although i don't think Foligno wanted this outcome.

He also charged all the way from Winnipeg to take a run at Trouba.

 

[Lyons71]

Looks like he punched his leg on purpose with the hope to knock Tyler off balance, but it caused his leg to go into the Boards funny, which is where (I think) the injury occurred.

It reminds me of Neal spraining Rakell’s ankle when he stuck his leg out to trip him last year. Not intended to do harm, but did.

That being said, you’re not gonna get suspended for a punch to the leg.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Russo is reporting no supplemental discipline and has a quote from Lowry calling it “unintentional”.

Good hockey play.

That's the ol' "Foligno slew hand" alright. He's done it a thousand times!
First time in an actual game...but he's been practicing it at home...got up the nerve to try it in a game after finally figuring out how to do it without injuring himself

 

[Patrik Barkov]

The hand motion looks odd, but I hope a player doesn't think about punching another player in the knee when falling to the boards, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

*Tries to read thread* *Mind completely blown from stupidity on both side of argument by page 3*

Note to self... Stay away from the playoff board.

Arms when falling go forward involuntarily to protect oneself from the fall, not corkscrewing from right to left in a punching movement. Eyes are on target and a purposeful punch is delivered to that target.

Dirty play not unlike lots of little dirty plays that occur during a game...slightly high elbows, little shoves near boards, glove to face, crosscheck to back in front of the net, stick to achilles, whack to hands... Almost all don’t cause injury.

Unfortunate outcome, but won’t be punished by DOPS. Jets players will see this, know it’s dirty, discuss amongst themselves, and maybe take action within the game if an opportunity presents itself. Foligno needs to keep his head up the rest of the series. Best response, though, is to send the Wild packing by winning the next two games.
