Johansson better be suspended. That was a dirty hit.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I look forward to the “upper body injury, day-to-day” report that comes out tomorrow.

 

[DG93]

I hope Vlasic recovers quickly

 

[Bizz]

Johansson better be suspended. That was a dirty hit.

Deserves 5 games, but will probably only get one.

 

[DG93]

Yeah, that was a nasty hit...

 

[do0glas]

If no one posted a gif on the main board, did the hit actually happen?

 

[Munnyro]

Link to the hit.

Our defense has been great but Vlasic will cause some lines to shift. I wonder if we'll see DeMelo or Bergman step in. The next depth left D is Simek.

 

[wishman]

Certainly not close to the dirtiest hit I've ever seen. Johansson mostly trying to just rub him out and ended up with head contact as Vlasic didn't see hit coming and kept head in a vulnerable position. Don't think its suspension worthy at all.

Hopefully Martin is ready to come back in which I'd go with the following pairs:
Ryan - Burns
Martin - Braun
Dillon - Heed

I'd like to see simek or Bergman. All our other young D men have been fantastic, let's hope for another one

I saw a lot of those hits from Nashville last night. The officials lost control of that game and it was nice to see the sharks not be so passive about it.

That's f***ing bullshit. The DoPS has been a joke for a long time now, a blatant shot to the head and we're not getting suspensions? f*** the Preds and f*** the NHL for not doing anything about blatant hits to the head.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I didn't see that hit as being that terrible. It looked like he missed the shoulder more than targeting the head. Like I would've understood supplemental discipline but I understand why there isn't.

 

[Nighthock]

Johansen's last name isn't Torres... what did we all expect?

 

[hohosaregood]

Even if it did get a suspension, It would've been like 1 game.

This is the current flaw in hockey culture. Johansson missed and blame is shifted to Vlasic for not see the hit coming or keeping his head in a bad position.

The blame needs to be firmly on Johansson for delivering a bad body check?

 

[Nighthock]

We must have forgotten that we grew eyes in the back of our heads. Stupid us.

 

[LadyStanley]

Hopefully won't miss much

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

That's very encouraging, but we've seen a tendency to underestimate recovery time with this group before.

That's ****ing bull****. The DoPS has been a joke for a long time now, a blatant shot to the head and we're not getting suspensions? **** the Preds and **** the NHL for not doing anything about blatant hits to the head.

B-b-bbut slashes need to be called, even when the offender just love taps the other player's stick!

The DoPS is such a joke because of their tunnel vision.

 

[tiburon12]

Im not angry at all this didnt get a suspension. Looked like a clumsy play, not a purposeful, targeted hit. Bummed that Vlasic is out though. Good thing we have the reinforcements to not need him to rush

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

I dunno, a game or a fine would have been fine. He should get some discipline for this.

I am fairly certain that the DoPS is being harder on slashes/hooks because they are going with the thinking/assumption that these are deliberate and easy to call. The hits like Johansen's on Vlasic, though a lot more dangerous are harder to prove that they had intent and were deliberate. It got called as a 2 minute boarding call, which I though was fair after seeing the replay. The lack of supplemental discipline did not surprise me but I thought that he would atleast get a hearing.

Either way, the main thing is that Vlasic gets well as soon as possible.

Mostly looked reckless versus malicious to me
