McNabb goes for Hertl's leg at the end of Game 5

[Rosy Cheeks]

Dirty player, he practically ruined Avalanche prospect Joey Hishon with an elbow to the head.

 

[heynowbababooey]

He definitely thrusts his right leg to try and wipe out Hertl. Anyone who sees different is lying to themselves.

 

[Danish Pastry]

watching on my computer made a huge difference... i wont say he was trying to break his leg but it was a stupid play because he could easily have cut hertl if he hit him in the wrong spot... probably deserves a game...

 

[Barrie22]

Mcnabb is now up to 2 headshots and a kick. But still no DOPS hearings. Must be nice to pay the league off.

Left my telescope at home can't see ****.

Ha ha... no kidding. It’s amazing what lunar telescopes can do today, but until I see a camera angle from here on earth I’m going to reserve judgement.

Try opening your eyes then you won't need a telescope.
When i first watched it i didn't see it then i watched it about 10 times and i now have my eyes open and have seen the jab with his skate.
The failed hit is fine by me but that leg jab should have got him a suspension.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

I didn't see much although if he connected on that high check then maybe.

Congrats to the Sharks - keep the wins coming!

 

[WSS11]

They’ll probably suspend Thornton for this. Funny how Parros won’t review any of the VGK head shots or attempts. Got away with this head shot too, not even a penalty.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

That kick to the ankle was dirty as f***. Some people in here are blind if they can't see that.

 

[IndustryLeech]

This POS already ended an NHL career before it even started with an elbow to Joey Hishon's head.

 

[Unspecified]

Alternative Title: McNabb tries to make a hit, doesn't, loses his edge as a result and falls.

Surprising there was no thread.

If you cannot see the kicking out of his foot to the leg/foot of Hertl then you are either blind or a complete homer.

 

[Frenchy]

Since before he was in LA. He pretty much ruined the career of Joey Hishon in the 2011 Memorial Cup.

^this , McNabb always been a dirty player, even b4 his time in the NHL.

 

[SjMilhouse]

I heard gallant is still petitioning the refs for an embellishment on Sorenson and Hertl for not letting McNabb injure them. He's red as a tomato

Don't forget, McNabb already got off free for a clean headshot on braun

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Ah the old Dustin Brown "accidentally" losing his edge and attempting to injure others.

McNabb had a personal apprenticeship as a King before getting dumped to Vegas. He learned well.

Well, when the master of accidentally-on-purpose was his captain for three years...he knows how to make it look unintentional. Just like how hitman Matt Cooke "unintentionally" sliced Erik Karlsson even though that incident has not remained unique.

 

[Fugazy]

Certainly can be seen as a dirty play.

 

[RussCourtnallsGhost]

Yeah, that kick definitely deserves a suspension.

 

[Danish Pastry]

To be fair if someone just watches from their phone it can be hard to tell...

 

[IndustryLeech]

To be fair if someone just watches from their phone it can be hard to tell...

I think you've figured out Parros' MO.

 

[Barrie22]

To be fair if someone just watches from their phone it can be hard to tell...

i watched it on my phone and still could tell.

Alternative Title: McNabb tries to make a hit, doesn't, loses his edge as a result and falls.

Surprising there was no thread.

I guess I am not seeing things correctly when he cocks his leg and out at Hertl. I know I would always do that instinctively whenever I fell off my skateboard.

 

[Edmonton East]

Hard to see from the video...but it certainly looks like a 2nd kicking motion by McNabb. The typical "accidentally on purpose."

How anyone that has actually played hockey could claim that's just McNabb losing an edge and nothing more is beyond me. Aka you don't sharply kick your leg out in an entirely separate motion...

 

[egelband]

Shocking a Shark fan sensationalized the title.

Yes, McNabb is dirty. Yes, he took a run at the end of a game. Spoiler, pretty much every team does.

True but I'd still like to see the league get rid of the nonsense.

Right, it's not the run people have a problem with. The run is dirty, I personally wish the NHL did more about it- but it's the kick that's dirty af. Like, kicking out at a dude with skates on- there's nothing lower. Nothing dirtier. Nothing more dangerous. Just complete bush league injurious bs, it has no place in the game.
