****ing beautiful. Awesome hit.

 

[Never]

Clean hit. Bad end result.

Looked like shoulder to shoulder.

Martinez looked flat footed, Paquette kept him arms down and feet on the ice.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Was a beauty hit, no clue what Martinez was doing admiring his pass, he's usually good at absorbing or avoiding. Unfortunately he's done for the game with notquitedead

 

[MR4]

Beauty of a hit, clean too.

 

[Jyrki]

Clean hit... unfortunately Martinez didn't really brace for it.

Sucks Martinez is hurt, but what the hell was he doing just standing there?

Exactly what I was wondering while watching it live. He reacted like a guy who didn't see the hit coming. All I can think of is he saw the pressure but figured paquette would turn off since Tampa bay wasn't finishing their checks and trying to stay high speed. Wrong read on the wrong guy though if so!

Probably a concussion from when he hit his head on the glass.

Stupid move on his end if he was thinking that haha. I watched it 3 more times and still cant figure out what the hell he could possibly thinking. It was a nice hit with a crappy result for LA.

That sucks if that is the case, hopefully it's not.

That or a shoulder injury. Both are crappy in their own rights. Concussions you never know what you're gonna get. Shoulder tends to take a while to heal and linger.

Paquette wasn't even coming in quickly. I don't even think Paquette intended to level Martinez until the last second when he realized that Martinez was inexplicably still standing there.

 

[BruinsNeedaRussian]

Good thing Chara wasn't there

 

[FinRuutu]

Cedric sure does entertain.

 

[Oak]

No qualms from me.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

The Lightning 3rds vs the Kings...Really want to make it confusing

No kidding, I turned on the game and thought we were the away team.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

too many players rely on players letting up and not finishing checks nowadays.... Cmon Martinez, that was friggin embarrassing... get ready for players finishing their damn checks.

 

[Fighter]

Beautiful, clean, HARD hit. No idea what Martinez was doing standing there like no one was around he got plastered pretty good.

I just burst out laughing like an idiot.

Beauty of a hit. Unfortunate that Martinez was injured.

His head whipped pretty hard there.

Whoa, Martinez saw him coming from the blue line and did.... nothing?
