GDT: Caps @ Canadiens | 9/28/14 | 6PM | RDS

[Backstrom #19]

Gotta keep your head up there, Schmidt.

Yep.

Had no problem with the hit.

 

[SimplySensational]

No problem with a hit to the head. Nice.

 

[CapsJunkie]

sucked for Schmidt but I thought it was a legal hit.. Tinordi was sweeping through one of his players and caught him on the wall.. better case for boarding. ( intentional taking a run at a player from a distance )

 

[SimplySensational]

Are you guys watching the game on a potato? It was a clear shoulder to the head.

 

[Burakovsky95*]

Thats a suspendable hit lol. Where have some of you been for the last 3 years?

 

[Tyrus]

This doesn't really matter.

You can't skate with your head down without expecting a hit, simply happens that Tinordi is much, much taller. It wasn't targeted and there wasn't any elbow.

Hope there won't be any long term consequences.

Boarding, seriously ?

That kid should keep his head up next time.

 

[BackToTheBasics]

This PP is a disaster. That was a good hit. It was worth a penalty though. Schmidt needs to keep his head up.

 

[Coldplay619]

This powerplay though.

 

[Burakovsky95*]

Apparently some of you still think this is the 90s. That's a head hit.

 

[CapsJunkie]

I love Niskys play...He has been terrible in a caps sweater this preseason though. His play has just been ugly

His head being down has nothing to do with it.

He had every opportunity to hit him legally and he instead nailed him right in the head.

 

[PuckBuddy]

I gotta admit, I still don't know what the new rule is.

* Principle point of contact was the head
* Schmidt should have had his head up

I think there's a comparable in that hit when, I think it was, Joe Thornton smoked Perron coming out of the box; smaller player skating with his head down.

Anyways. No good news coming out of this ****ing game aside from the goatlending.

 

[SashaSemin28]

Damn, that should have been 1-0

 

[CapsJunkie]

howd Backy miss that?

Tinordi made no upward motion, neither did he follow through his hit. He quite simply stood in the way of a player skating with his head down and rammed into his shoulder.

 

[BackToTheBasics]

That was Ovi's first shot.

So you're telling me you didn't see the angle from behind where Tinordi was perfectly lined up for a shoulder hit and stood up?

I really believe you 100%. You are 100% honest person.

 

[Raikkonen]

Niskanen. 2 on 1 unlike Green.

 

[SimplySensational]

Fehr is completely worthless...

 

[Koized]

Burakovsky is really impressive. Has looked better than Kuznetsov so far in the preseason.

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Niskanen. 2 on 1 unlike Green.

That was the only good play I've seen from him all pre-season.

 

[CapsJunkie]

Nice, Bura's D play caused an offsides

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Yay Wardo!

 

[SimplySensational]

Burakovsky with the assist I think. At least deserves credit.
