Blake Wheeler out indefinitely with concussion after Tkachuk flying elbow

[snowkiddin]

Good. Now they must play Ehlers on pp #1 unit.

You would think ...

Winnipeg Jets' Blake Wheeler out indefinitely, won't make trip - TSN.ca

Pretty dirty. Wonder if he gets a call.

March 31st 1985, Madison Square Garden , New York City,The original ,the best ever , Wrestlemania. We were 3rd row back of the ring so the cameras faced me and my pals . Still see myself at 18 years old every once in a while on a highlight flashback. Oh the 80s, bring em back....

If you're responsible for your stick getting on somebody face, you should be with everything else that comes in contact with the head.

Yep. This is similar to Tkachuk, Matthew and his “accidental” injury to Scheifele in the playoffs. Tough to prove definite intent, but reckless and dangerous without a doubt.

 

[ItWasJustified]

$500 fine.

 

[Hollywood3]

If the NHL is serious then headshots should be suspended. They solved the high-sticking issue that way years ago.

 

[swiftwin]

Accidental, but reckless.

But because of his brother, everyone is rushing to call Brady dirty.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

If Brady Tkachuk was going to miss at least the next 5 games due to an elbow from Blake Wheeler, you and the rest of the senators fans would be screaming for a suspension.

no, that wasn't even close to suspension worthy. Not even a penalty.

 

[Atoyot]

Nope, per today's practice Mathieu Perreault will be moving to the first unit.

That wasn't my point at all. If the same thing happened but the roles were reversed and Tkachuk was going to miss at least 5 games with a possible concussion, Senators fans would be mad. You can pretend that wouldn't be the case but it is the same with every fanbase and it happens every time. The Senators fans are no different.

But it's nice to see that all you have to contribute to a conversation is attacking and mocking people from another fanbase.

I mean...elbowing someone in the face and concussing someone is usually a penalty no?

 

[MardyBum]

Maybe if he wasn't trying to Kronwall him he could have been in control of his body.

It was a penalty.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Accidental on purpose I reckon, expected a lot worse from the title, it’s a bit like a reverse Forsberg. Anyone but a Tkachuk maybe gets the benefit of the doubt.

So now we're judging Brady based on stuff Matthew has done???

It’s bad that I can’t tell if this is facetious or not. Because it should be... but you never know with Maurice

Brady Tkachuk is not a dirty player lol. The number of times he has declined to get an extra punch in at the end of a fight is about as high as the number of fights he's won.

It was a reckless play, I would fine him or suspend him for a game or two, but not because of intent.... simply because he needs to be in better control.

So now we're judging Brady based on stuff Matthew has done???

I think the league needs to keep a closer eye on this Tyler kid.... how could you not, after what Todd did?!

 

[ZJuice]

The NHL brass weren’t watching this game. No supplemental discipline expected

 

[Atoyot]

No, it's very much true. Probably wants to keep balance between the two units.

They’re cut from the same cloth, Matthew is maybe slightly dirtier but has been in the league longer too

 

[Bondurant]

If the name on the jersey is anything other than Tkachuck is this a thread?

 

[Gnova]

Shocked this wasnt a thread after it happened tbh.

Looks accidental to me. Maybe accidentally on purpose, but i think its accidental.

Brady has no issues dropping the gloves and settling things that way. Who knows what really happened tho. We're just guessing.

Dropping the gloves for a token fight doesn't make up for a concussing another team's captain.

Egad! Maurice loves his veterans.

I can understand wanting to balance the units, though. Wonder who moves onto the second unit.

Do you have any other instance of Brady doing something dirty?

 

[mriswith]

He's clearly going for the reverse hit

Almost certainly Lowry, though I haven't been able to find confirmation. Scheif had to sit out a bit after taking a puck to the face and Appleton replaced him and scored while they were working on the PP today so hopefully that's viewed as an option since I'd much prefer Appleton over Lowry.
