Ill give you a hint, its less than 5%

The order of contact does not matter.Both hits were shoulder then head. Kucherov's was more to the head than Doughty's! There's no way in hell 1 deserves a suspension and the other doesn't. Also, the fact the cross check to Staal's head was 1 game is a joke.
hes literally off the ice hahah
Okay, I get ya now.If you think evey illegal hit is bad find me the rate at which NHL hits that sre given penalties are suspended

The order of contact does not matter.
On Doughty's hit, 95% of the force was his shoulder to head, with incidental contact with his arm. That is a primary point of contact and picking the head.
On Kucherov's hit, there is full body-to-body contact (hmmm Vatanen's body reacts to contact and goes flying) with incidental contact with the head.
One of these is a clear suspension. One does not warrant a second look.
I think you should clarify this statement and provide some sources. Is this in regards to hockey only?Do you people not realize that more concussions are caused by contact to the chest and stomach area, than contact to the head? Or are you just ignorant of the actual causes of concussions all together?
hes literally off the ice hahah
thanks for proving my point
Yep! Thats all I was sayingOkay, I get ya now.
So you're saying it should be a penalty but not a suspension.
I understand now.
i'd argue contact isn't initiated until the next frame where kucherov's skate is turned 90 degrees but that doesn't look as pretty for a post on the forum
There's a dude in the series thread saying that if something season ending and career threatening happens to Kucherov, it's deserved and well earned.Wait...did people actually think there would be supplementary discipline on a great and legal hit? Wow
WOW!! That's crazy. Some people need help.There's a dude in the series thread saying that if something season ending and career threatening happens to Kucherov, it's deserved and well earned.
So, yeah.

freeze frames from the wrong angle with all sorts of artifacts from 100 feet away don't mean **** anyway. if you want to argue semantics about "jumping" based off how many millimeters of his blade are touching the ice, fine, but that's the exact movement you make to jump and he left the ice afterwards so i'm not sure how you can argue he wasn't jumping
That clip clearly shows he left his feet. Also I havent seen a zoomed in angle until now but thats head contact for sure.He clearly made a contact with Vats body at this moment but I guess it's just one more proof that some people see the same things absolutely differently. Kinda like this white and gold/black and blue dress thing from a few years ago. It's fascinating. And most people are absolutely sure they are in the right and the other side is either blind or trolling.
:
What if the person only has one foot? Are you saying they cant jump?Kucherov's left skate is clearly on the ice at the point of contact. You can't jump into a hit by lifting one foot.
What if the person only has one foot? Are you saying they cant jump?
That will be relevant when Kucherov loses a foot.
It's kinda a beating a dead horse already. Initial point of contact is Vats body, shoulder/chest then it went to the Vats head. Sami clearly wasn't ready until it was too late but imo it's more on him, should be aware of his surroundings. Kuch put some force in the hit but didn't jump. I don't know how you can watch the same thing as me and see both his feet in the air before the hit unless you really want to see it.That clip clearly shows he left his feet. Also I havent seen a zoomed in angle until now but thats head contact for sure.
Oh well hopefully Vatanen rests up for next season
He just might if Chara gets a hold if him if they meet up, I heard big dog Chara like gnawing on bones.That will be relevant when Kucherov loses a foot.
