Giroux Interference on Letang

[TheMule93]

Theres no way that was intentional. He saw letang coming and braced, but he didnt mean to f***ing kill Letang. He was pushed into Letangs path and Letang didnt see him.

lol Crosby bumped him into Letang.

Is every big hit going to get a "so and so made this big hit, incoming suspension?" Thread?

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

Kadri just got 3 as well. Oh wait, neither hit are anything like this....

 

[Muston Atthews]

What a hit

 

[BruinsBtn]

This is nothing

 

[me2]

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

Whole lot of accidentally on purpose in the collision itself. Giroux made it count. Imho the NHL will look at it, but I there is enough variables to let it slide.

Nah man giroux skated into Crosby knowing that he would bounce off and hit Letang.

Dude is playing 4-D space checkers and shit.

Crosby bumped him. He was falling backwards. He saw Letang and braced for impact, but there was nothing he could do to avoid it.

Stop with the Giroux didn't know/was just holding his ground. He knew exactly what he was doing and initiated contact. Easily an interference penalty.

This thread should have been titled "Crosby interference on Letang"

No.

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

This reminds me so much of the hit Subban had on Marchand years ago where he just stood in place and allow Marchand, skating with his head down, to skate right into him. No issue here.

And entirely different in almost every way.

 

[Zybalto]

You can see him looking back and dig his heels in when he saw contact was coming. Poor Letang never saw it coming. Hard to tell what the intent was though.

 

[Rusty Razor]

Accidental. Looks like Giroux saw him at the last second and braced for contact, but thats natural. Letang needs to be more aware there.

 

[kingsholygrail]

This is beautiful.

If Giroux knew what was happening, then Letang should also have known. After all, he was skating forward and could see. So really should be interference on Letang, if anything.

This is beautiful.

A player is injured after a freak accident and you think it's beautiful?

 

[NoNecksCurse]

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

are you blind? this hit and forsberg's hit are nothing alike.

 

[bigkam]

Watch the replay. He sees Letang coming, and leaps into him. I doubt he's going to be suspended, but the folks claiming that he didn't see him or attempted to make the hit aren't seeing the same replay as me.

There's beauty in destruction. This is a violent sport.

 

[PensandCaps]

That's on Letang

 

[4thTierSport]

Ah the salt is great! Pens fans freak out when they get just a slight fraction of what they dish out!

He's not hurt as of now, which I am happy about.
