[bambamcam4ever]

Looks very similar to what Giroux was suspended for in 2012:

Very similiar? I don't think so.

 

[SenzZen]

“Keep your head up!”

 

[BritainStix]

Nailed him with the no look, all knowing, backwards check to the head.

Hes a clever f***er that Giroux.

 

[liljegren beast]

Letang skated into him

or letang runs into giroux. it was just a weird play.

 

[Hughes86Hischier13]

not a hockey play

 

[Panteras]

you can clearly see that Giroux saw him a mile away

Suck thread is suck.

Crosby pushed Giroux a bit, and Letang and Giroux collided. How soft are we gonna get this year? Good lord.

 

[BronzeSpruce]

i love how Giroux managed to miss his teammate but couldn't avoid Letang as he jumps backwards into him.

 

[Bounces R Way]

On the replay it looked like he had his eyes fixed on Letang the entire time.

Not a usual proponent of victim blaming but just where does Letang think he is? Skated right into him.

Don'tcha just love 2018?

 

[Dessloch]

Wow. Letang with a freak injury. Just that kind of thing that almost never happens, and the Pens can not afford a d-man to go down with the way GMJR has set up the team. That was a BIG BANG collision, if Letang with his concussion history did not get concussed, it would be a miracle.

 

[Mattb124]

Not saying Giroux won, but Letang definitely lost. He seriously fumbled after he hit the ice

 

[gopreds19]

Forsberg got suspended 3 games for the same thing.

 

[cneely]

Sneaky dirty by Giroux there.

 

[Dzonna]

The only pen on the play was the player getting cheaply demolished.

 

[Insulin]

If that hit looks anything like the one he got suspended for in 2012 then I look exactly like Brad Pitt.

 

[CrashBartley]

Are you kidding? Letang crashed into Giroux's back. I think it was Letang's own skate that cut his hand. I backed the play up about 10 times to see how he got cut, and it's off camera, but I can only see his own skate close to his hand.
Giroux in no way interfered with Letang. It was just an unintentional, unfortunate freak accident.

 

[Lampedampe]

100% intentional, even looking at him and leaning in.

 

[almostawake]

Definitely a tinge of accidentally on purpose to it, but really nothing the NHL will look at.

 

[gopreds19]

In don’t think Giroux should be suspended, but this was 3.

 

[Maukkis]

If anything, Letang had more control over that situation than Giroux.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

100% intentional, even looking at him and leaning in.

I'm sure he was just looking at a fan in the stands, not Letang.
