Leo Komarov hit on Gostisbehere

[Pure Slaughter Value]

Impartial fan's take. Dirty hit, suspension-worthy. These are the types of plays that the NHL should be using to make an example of a player. Give him five games. Can't have that. It's not like Gothispere turned into the boards knowing Komarov was going to hit him.

Bad hit.

 

[Daveyyaunce]

Sorry but I don't buy that. Gudas didn't see the guy he was facing and skating right towards and then stopped? I call BS.

Especially cause it's Gudas. That directly led to a philly goal and could have been an injury on Komarov cause it was close to a knee on knee.

Hence the payback.

Ghost should visit Radko and thank him for contributing to getting a dirty play from Leo.

Yeah I don't get why certain fanbases get such bad rep.....

 

[Bedards Dad]

The guy's injured either way. Arguing what type of injury makes no difference regsrding whether there should be a suspension. Why even bring that up as a point as if that's relevant somehow?

Well since I have already stated I think he should get 1 to 3 games and my issue is people playing Dr.Recchi, you may want to rethink your post.

... Leo should sit a game or 3 for this.

 

[Rebels57]

I actually think it is left shoulder that he injured.

I'm just praying it's not serious because we cannot afford to lose him. He is playing on our top pair with Provorov and is leading the NHL in defensemen scoring. He is invaluable at the moment.

I also expect Komarov to get his ass kicked early in the next game the 2 teams play. Last nights game was too close for retribution.

I also wonder if the refs were "getting back" at the Flyers for how vocally critical they were of the terrible no-goal call the game before. The Flyers had 1 powerplay all game and could have had 4 or 5 pretty easily. Hakstol was pretty clear in his post-game press conference that the refs f***ed up. As were many of the players. This fraternity of incompetents care more about their egos than anything else.

What's your point though? Why be riled up about someone thinking a player going headfirst into was concussed? You an EMT that doesn't like people stepping on your territory?

 

[Stickpucker]

Surprised the Flyers didn't retaliate. Simmonds didn't wanna put the hurt on little Mitchie?

No I'm a person who hates misinformation being spread. Several people here have stated as a fact Ghost was concussed. We have no idea the injury, likely a shoulder or back, like many hits from behind are, but could be something else.

What we know:

- Leo hit him from behind
- He played one shift and left
- Leo should be suspended.
- Anything else is guess work and just spreads false information.

Leo needs to be in more control in that situation, Ghost puts himself in a terrible position by turning his back to the hit and Leo is already committed to contact and you can tell he doesn't hit him as hard as he could have but he was already going to fast too stop himself.

It's Leo's responsibility to be in more control so he can stop if the player turns his back. Unfortunate hit. Ghost needs to be smarter too though.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

No suspension forthcoming. He had him lined up and ghost saw him in periphery and turned last second, his fault.

Unless NHL institutes a bear hug/tackle rule, not much LK can do.

it's not hard to figure out. when they celebrate a team that only ever won cups because of thuggery, when they have human trash running their team like Bobby Clarke (the kind of trash that throws elite players with concussions on the ice, the kind if trash that berates famed coaches with cancer), when they continued to assemble their goon teams right into this decade, and the fans love them for it, it sort of obvious why so many teams are disgusted with the flyers and their fans.

 

[CrashBartley]

He sees the numbers and still decides to drive him into the boards.
He has plenty of time to let up and make the play without intent to injure.
If Gubrandson's hit is worth a game, this is too. At least a game.
And I have no idea how the ref with the cam missed making the call. That was 2 terrible missed calls in the game.

Last second?

Bro.

Bro.

 

[The Macho King]

How was this not 5 and a game? Sucks for Ghost - any updates?

 

[ZJuice]

This just in: Referees of all sports are GARBAGE
Bring in the robot refs!

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Last second?

Bro.

Bro.

Uhm, yes? You're looking at a slow mo HD replay of the hit. At ice level and game speed, there's almost 0 time to let up.

 

[LeafChief]

Surprised the ref didn't even blink on that play. That's just stupid.

Shock of the century to see you on the first page here.

Anyways - it was a bad hit. Should have been called.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

No, I'm not. I'm looking at the full-speed hit.

Komarov had plenty of time. He knew what was happening. Don't be ridiculous.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Have Gudas run Matthews next game. Payback.

 

[cneely]

Concuss a star by a potatoe, not even 2. Any love tap slash automatic call,,, ****ing pathetic.

You know that Komorov has played more all star games than Ghost, right?

 

[The Macho King]

You know that Komorov has played more all star games than Ghost, right?

Ghost is in his third year, and how is that relevant in the first place? Komarov is a dirty player and this was a dirty hit.

 

[supermann_98]

Should have been a major and a game misconduct, but it was a make-up “non call” against Komarov as he was knee’d by Gudas earlier in the game and the turnover directly led to a goal.

Horrible refereeing all around

 

[dogbazinho]

Bad hit. Should have been a penalty. The officiating this year has been really shit. I always think when they introduce new rules/calls they tend to over focus on them to the detriment of every thing else.

 

[cneely]

Ghost is in his third year, and how is that relevant in the first place? Komarov is a dirty player and this was a dirty hit.

Not arguing about that at all, I think it was definitely penalty worthy. Just saying that calling Ghost a star and Komorov a potatoe is a little off.

 

[supermann_98]

If that were Gudas, it would have easily been a 5 and a game

You mean the Gudas that knee’d him in the neutral zone when he didn’t even have the puck?
Yeah okay guy

 

[Canada4Gold]

Hopefully the refs does Babcock's job for him and suspends Leo for some games so Babcock doesn't have to go back to sitting Leivo again after he promised JVR and Martin were going to be back in for sure prior to this game.

That was a bad missed call though, pretty much as obvious as it gets. Way worse than the one where Leo was interfered/knee'd that lead to the Flyers 2nd goal.
