Rinaldo slew foots Parise, Kovalchuk destroys Schenn

[Hanzee Dent]

Ok...now finally seeing an angle on the slewfoot. Ehh....its dirty. Its suspendable. But I've seen worse. At least Rinaldo didn't really put any real kicking force into the slewfooting like I've seen in other instances.

Still very dangerous and unnecessary, especially since there was no reason for him to do it in that situation.

 

[CaptBrannigan]

Terrible play by the plug Rinaldo. Pretty obvious intent to injure when it comes after a whistle, imo.

Pete DeBoer felt Rinaldo also tried to hurt Jacob Josefson with a cheap shot. He suggested the league will look at some Rinaldo incidents.

Probably asked, but why should they look into the slewfoot ? Larsson did it to Leblanc and got nothing.

Whatever else Rinaldo did is probably worthy of looking into it.

The Rinaldo slewfoot and Larsson's were close to similar. Rinaldo's is more dangers because of the pull back on the shoulder.

Larsson didnt slewfoot Leblanc

He held Leblanc shoulder and brought him down

Schenn you just got.. KNOCKED DA FUDGE OUT!

[KA BLAMO]

That. Was. AWESOME.

If I'm picking a fight with a star player, Kovalchuk (and Ovie/Iginla) is the last guy I'm messing with. The guy is a freak.

He won a fight against a 20 year old who's 40 pounds lighter than him. Iginla would destroy Kovalchuk.

And Ovie as a "good fighting" top fighting star?

Iginla is a ****ing puss when it comes to fighting. Watch Kovy fights (not the Switzerland/Russia one from the U20, cause he was dirty then), he talks, they accept and he removes the helmet because he wears the visor. Iginla never does. I hate visor fighters, and oh, I absolutely adore Iggy, I'm just saying, when it comes to fighting, he's a *****.

I think Kovy would go with him OK.

Nope, you totally missed my point.

I'm saying if you're going to pick a fight with a star player, better make sure the guy isn't extremely strong/tall and well built.

 

[First Ballot]

Damn Kovy! Respect.

kinda like how iginla fought 21 year old adam henrique? yeahhhhhhhhhh

Flyers' Rinaldo fined $5,000

 

[Jaysfanatic*]

Two fines. The NHL wimps out again.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

He will probably get a fine.

I expect him to get more than a fine because that wasn't done in the heat of the moment, but after the play had been whistled down for a few seconds.

Time to send a message.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

We haven't heard anything, he didn't play after the fight IIRC though...

He actually did at 19:23 until the end of the game.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

The first I saw of this was on MSG coming back from break. They showed it in slow motion and it looked like an unnecessary cheapshot by Ronaldo when his team was getting blown out. Upon seeing the entire video including how it developed live this was not the case at all. In fact, Parise was lucky that he didn't get more.

There was a whistle for an offside and after a few seconds elapsed it was Zach Parise who actually initiated contact. Not only did he initiate contact on Ronaldo but he lingered there for whatever reason. The score was 6-2, and Ronaldo simply made a 'get away from me kid I'm out of your weightclass' move. Had Ronaldo dropped his gloves and suckerpunched Parise's lights out I would have understood completely. Parise should watch himself next time.

There should be no punishment for Ronaldo on the play.

How's the jungle?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Schenn got destroyed but Kovalchuk should've gone for Rinaldo later on instead. That's a blatant slew foot from Rinaldo, I expect he'll get a hearing but no more.

Kovalchuk came out of the box at 18:43.

Rinaldo did not play after his "tripping" penalty.

Did you want Kovalchuk to jump on the Flyers bench?

 

[Killahpunk]

TKO win Kovalchuk.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

The NHL hasn't been suspending slew-foots and probably will continue not to.

Time to send a message for a slew-foot taking place a few seconds after the play was whistled down.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Did you just post a perfectly legal hit and bend the truth to support your argument lol. Wow.

In your dreams...

it would of been legal if he had the puck

 

[Islanderfan17]

Rinaldo is a *********

Glad to see Kovy KTFO Schenn

Kovalchuk looks about the same height, wheres the 40 pounds extra? Butt and legs?

 

[BleedOrange]

I watched the video of the so called slewfoot by rinaldo he gets fined for that what a joke everyone making more out of it.It wasnt that bad and as far as Schenn getting KO by kovy his fault he should have known better and rinaldo was in the scrum he could have took care of kovy schenn didnt have to jump in..
