Hey guess what its fall can we make a thread about that as well??? Nothing to see here but a clean hit to the chest.
Honestly didn't look dirty at all, but obviously there was some contact with the head too. The worst part was Detroit's colour guy just laughing at Weal and then saying "geez kid, it's a hitting league, I mean come on" when the guy was lying down on the ice. What a tool.
2 games is my guess. Head was the principal point of contact from what I see.
That would be Mickey Redmond. He played during the 70s, he makes those kind of comments.

Actually Redmond was laughing at the fans booing a normal hit, it wasn't about Weal. Redmond can absolutely be a homer at times, but here he was calling it like it is, a normal hit, and the fans immediately boo just because Weal was upset. He said, geez kids from what I remember hearing which for 65-70+ year old person means pretty much most in attendance at a hockey game.
Well you really couldn't tell from his laughter whether it was for Weal or the fans. Either way laughing for a play gives an unprofessional impression, especially when there's a guy lying down on the ice after getting hit in the head.

FAIL! Principal point of contact was CHEST! Erne went in with shoulder to chest, just because the after affect may have gotten him in the head doesn't make that the principal point of contact. Principal means first, which is clearly not what happened. I actually watched the game, they showed it a number of times and everyone shows shoulder to chest as the principal point of contact. Man alive fans today want to turn everything into a witch-hunt. Also want to add, that Weal is smaller and the taller Erne still made sure to hit him in the chest first, head contact happens all the time on nice clean hits.
Without discussing the rest of the contact; I don't think that's true. Principal means most important.
