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

[unitedstars87]

McNabb is a dirty player.

The Rick Flair of the NHL

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

Surprising there was no thread.

No, he purposely sled on hertl
Deserve 1 game

McNabb is a dirty player.

Very. Has a history for sure. Ruined Hishon's career with an elbow

 

[Kegsey]

Yeahhhh, that kick at the end is sketchy as f***.

 

[Deadpool8812]

definitely looks like he makes a kicking motion in order to take out Hertl

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

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.

haha. exactly. I'm always amazed what people can "see" from these clips.

It's hard to tell for sure but looks like McNabb misses on a hit, falls down and while he's down there tries to trip Hertl with the ol' scissor kick that players do to each other a lot when one gets knocked down.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Sort of dick hit to go for with 11 seconds left in a 3 goal game.

 

[Groo]

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

Did you try pulling your head out

 

[Captain Bowie]

Anyone have a clip of these plays where the zoom function isn't broken?

 

[Backcheckmonster3]

I´m neutral in these series and that is a dirty intentional play, should be 3 games at least.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

McNabb is a dirty player -- his history doesn't allow him to have the benefit of the doubt with me.

 

[Vertain]

It probably wasn't being talked about anywhere because there is nothing there, there,

I get why he did it. Vegas knows they could prison yard shank one of our guys to death and Thornton or Kane would get suspended for not letting their teammate bleed enough.

 

[Foppberg]

McNabb doing something dirty? Shocking. Dude's been a piece of shit long before he came to the NHL (see Hishon)

 

[Lyons71]

Meh. Nothing play.

"Very Legal & Very Cool!" - Parros reviewing any dirty hit, headshot, ect against the Sharks

I imagine he says it in an Eric Andre voice.

Would you like a hit of ranch, brotendo?

What’s there is that his skates parallel to the ice in a sweeping, kicking motion easily could have sliced Hertl’s leg. Luckily, he just tripped him and didn’t damage his ankle.

I didn’t even see that in real time, just the run at Sorensen, which I still haven’t seen an up close of. Odd that the other skaters on the ice for Vegas seemed content to just skate out the last 15 seconds and McNabb makes a run clear across the neutral zone.

Saw it live and it was clear as day. I was expecting some Sharks to come skating into the picture to go after McNabb: pretty sure McNabb thought something was coming as well. You can even see Carrier immediately turn to get into the action because it seemed like something was going to happen since SJ should have done something.

Its Vegas though so a Top 6 forward or Top 2 defenseman for SJ will probably get suspended somehow. Also, expect Vegas to get every call next game since Gallant wasn't happy with them for what should have been a double-minor but was only two minutes.

Just a real rat team that people are slowly coming around on as the "feel good" story wears off, along with those in the EST zone actually watching them.

 

[Anglesmith]

Looks like he's trying to push off to avoid the collision, but misses his edge. The hit attempt looked dirty, though.

McNabb was skating towards his bench as fast as he could and the linesmen and refs who somehow didn't see any of it made sure to get in the middle as fast as possible.

They'll let a useless goon fresh off the bench pick a fight with a 30-goal scorer, though.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Clearly he's trying to push off the ice while going down to recover and it doesn't work out too well. Meanwhile, Hertl's controller disconnected.

SJ didn't exactly have the right personnel on the ice to do anything. I'm not calling them out for not doing something but rather saying what McNabb did was definitely worthy of a response.

That was my estimation, as well. Honestly, it's the most likely explanation. People would rather believe the more unlikely explanation because it confirms their bias, though.
