I don't even think he's getting an hearing... unless i'm wrong.

Sure, after Dougie Hamilton gets suspended for boarding Prust.

 

[jaffy27]

No chance

I feel bad for Boychuk but that didn't even deserve a penalty.

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

Hamilton should be called. It's not Max's fault Boychuk possibly caught an edge in the ice and went into the boards awkwardly. If you see the video, look at the way he falls, how his legs are all Pejorative Slured. Nothing wrong with the hit, shoulder to shoulder and even borderline boarding. The hit on Prust was in the back and definitely boarding, considering he was twice as far from the boards as Boychuk was when Hamilton made contact on Prust.

Strong hockey play, unfortunate results.

I hope Boychuk is OK but there shouldn't even have been a 2 minutes

First thing I noticed when I looked at it too. Looks like he caught an edge, or his skate got stuck or something. Did the old wobbly leg dance there.

Even Humpty Dumpty thinks it's worth nothing more than a 2 minute penalty...

Thought you were going to start a main board thread about that dirty dangerous play? Need a gif and I'll do it...

 

[overlords]

I think that if hits like that are what the bruins can expect to get penalties for, they're in very big trouble.

I'll post a thread if I get a gif.

 

[overlords]

I'll post a thread if I get a gif.

I'd advise against that.

I was expecting a whole lot of whining yesterday. Calling habs dirty, always getting away with it, Pac's history and all and yet.....Julien says he only deserved the 2 minutes he got? Geez...if that's not enough to know that this is BY FAR not suspendable....I don't know what is. I mean, for Julien to say that, I'm now wondering if Max even touched him....

 

[hogtownhabsfan*]

It was a borderline boarding penalty. I don't mind the call, and I do hope Boychuk is okay, but there is no way in hell Pacioretty should be suspended...

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Absolutely what Hogtown said. It was a two minute boarding call, and that's it.... Even Fat Claude Julien said the same thing.

Hope Boychuk recovers quickly.

 

[Haaabs]

Max didn't even know who was on the ice or where he was on the ice...

I don't see why we should keep adding fuel to the fire. Fans is short for fanatic after all. People get emotional. We're habs fans, we are as nutty if not more than other fanbases.

 

[JayKing]

Nope.

 

[Born in 1909]

Boychuk fell badly.

Bad luck, unfortunately.

Hamilton?

Now that 's a penalty.

 

[Devourers]

The league should definitely consider Dr. Recchi's opinion of the issue before acting and suspending Patches. Who knows, maybe Boychuk is at a movie today?

 

[Natey]

Looked like interference, 2 minute penalty, nothing more. Might not have even been interference - couldn't see if he'd touched the puck or not.

 

[Monctonscout]

What do you think?

Non issue, even Julien said it was nothing bad.

 

[Buckets and Gloves]

No suspension, but not a legal hit... it was a 2min boarding and deserved.

Legal checks are not penalized.

It was shoulder to shoulder. The penalty called was reactionary.

If it was boarding Pac wouldn't have ended up 3 feet to left of Boychuk.

 

[Peteux]

Even Claude Julien said it after the game, it's not worth more than a 2 mins.
