MacDonald hit on Hornqvist (embellishment pen. to Hornqvist)

[Rebels57]

He didn’t “fling” his head back, it hit the boards that will change the direction of your head. One arm went straight down to the ice the other arm went up but it’s not trying to sell it. Feel free to slow it down and that’s what you will see.

One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. Put your head into a wall and you don’t need to fling your head back. The wall will force your neck/head to change position.

Something that could have caused a concussion but the NHL calls it embellishment. What a joke.

I'm good mate, thanks. I didn't think it would change the result and we played well enough to win so I'm not worried. Just find it puzzling that some can think that was embellishment.

I am looking forward to tomorrow.

After Hornqvist flying elbows, and his basic spastic play the reffs probably had seen enough of his act for one night.To me it was a bit of a dive but his leash run out of slack.
Enjoy tomorrow.

Great to see Hornqvist jump into the boards and almost hurt himself...what a disgrace and moron

 

[BritainStix]

Funny how quiet the penguins fans are in this thread after the clips got shown of him running around all night.

He should of had the game for the flying elbow at Manning. Guy is a douchebag

 

[egelband]

Why is this even a thread

Well, it is a pretty rare call.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

That was an embarrasing move by Hornqvist, I mean, why would you do that? Stop that shit.

 

[MattMartin]

This is where Mario goes to twitter and tells the media how he really feels...

Lemieux needed to “rethink whether I want to be part of” the N.H.L. if the events surrounding the game “reflect the state of the league.”

Basically if my team can't dive, I want out

 

[MattMartin]

How come this isn't talked about?
Have there been a thread already? If so I must've missed it.

My thoughts are summed up by Ronnie James Dio...

 

[tictactoe]

Correct call. Both deserved 2 mins

Not really... should be 2min for diving.

 

[Shaffer]

How dare people say things that are true about my favorite team. They are angels.

Further proving my point.

 

[Nadal On Clay]

He literally THREW HIMSELF on the ice. Only penalty? 2 min on Simmonds for roughing

Maybe Raffl punched him?

 

[3rdLiner]

Hornqvist is greasy.

 

[BronzeSpruce]

Sad thing is thats the only way Horny can get a penalty called, he gets roughed up and crosschecked on a regular basis and they never call penalties. I get other opponents don't like him because of the way he plays but he plays a hard nosed clean game, everything he does is within the rules. opponents take so many liberties on him without consquence its crazy.

 

[Rebels57]

Maybe Raffl punched him?

Yeah that punch by Michael "Tyson" Raffl was truly devastating.

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

Pens have Horny, Jackets have Dubi, Caps have Wilson. We all have our players that play on the edge. Man I love the playoffs!

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

For some reason this reminds me of the ending to 'Burn After Reading'.

We obviously aren't watching the same series.

Take the damn blinders off.

im not talking about the series, im talking the season in general and most most likely his career. but all season he gets cross checked and thrown to the ground for not quitting at the play. he goes until the whistle blows. nothing cheap there.

 

[BronzeSpruce]

he plays to the whistle.

 

[Rich Nixon]

he plays to the whistle.

It's very honorable of him not to skate full speed at his opponents with his elbows up during the TV timeouts.

 

[Butch 19]

The correct 2 calls were made - the hit and then the flop.

The refs need to keep this up and not be afraid to call embellishment. When the refs start calling it more often, will eventually go away - like the puck over the glass penalty, it rarely happens anymore - players have adjusted.

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Yeah that punch by Michael "Tyson" Raffl was truly devastating.

Enough to make him lose his balance
