Dangerous Play with Garnet Hathaway kicking Jonathan Quick in the head

[PB37]

That can't happen and I wouldn't be upset if the NHL decided to send a message.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Would be good if the league gave a suspension here of even 1 game.

That is not normal.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Gotta be honest, that looked a lot like the incident that killed that guy in Britain. There's no reason Hathaway's skate should come up in that situation.

That was my thought too. Kicking should be a bright line.

That was my thought too. Kicking should be a bright line.

I was at the game where Zednik almost died from having his carotid cut by Olli Jokinen's skate. I can still see that bright line when I close my eyes.

I thought he’d know better with that Ivy League education he has. Then again so does George Parros and that guy can’t discipline players properly.

 

[ToDavid]

Looks like a guy falling over…

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Looks to me like he was just bracing himself for the boards.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Hextall might have killed Hathaway in response to that

 

[Duke749]

I just think he’s doing everything he can to avoid Quick without falling down himself.

 

[Sheppy]

$5000K fine just for being an idiot. I don't know if you can suspend him really, but slap him with a fine.

That sounds like the least Garnet Hathaway thing ever

That was done on purpose. This is wy you have to dress Rempe. That shit doesn't happen if he is in the game

lol , it sure the hell does happen . The idea of thinking dressing a tough guy is a deterrent is crap . There are tough guys on lots of teams and shit happens all the time . Rempe is just the newest of a long line of enforcers .

 

[Sayba]

Let’s see if the DOPS is awake.

 

[IwayMike]

Looks intentional, and Hathaway's (non)reaction to Quick tripping him says something. Although I could be wrong, the Rangers do like to play victim and call any contact with one of their players a vicious hit.

Hathaway isn't going to be scared of Rempe..

 

[Baby Punisher]

Hathaway isn't going to be scared of Rempe..

Excellent! That means he won't run away from Rempe as he is about to administer a well-deserved beating to that piece of shit.

You should know better, Rempe will just accidentally elbow someone in the head and then get kicked out before Deslauriers can scramble his face again. Post game press conference we'll hear from Peter Laviolette about how it's a hockey play.

 

[snag]

Watched it frame by frame....he was leaning forward, came to an abrupt stop had a Ranger pass by him (with arm out but that whole exchange was cut off) . He was falling into Quick when the leg started to come up. I think it was an instinctual attempt to regain balance while falling on two axis.

I don't think there was a malicious intent.

I just think he’s doing everything he can to avoid Quick without falling down himself.

I concur.

No real sympathy to a team that employs Trouba who axe chopped Frederic in the head with his stick. Scum bag team scum bag results

 

[stl76]

AT BEST, that was extremely dangerous and careless of Hathaway. Hope he gets some form of punishment for this one, that’s just not OK IMO.

 

[12ozPapa]

Players like Hathaway are why we need enforcers back in the game and the instigator gone

That was a legal play. Even Tom Wilson got away with that type of play…


oh wait nevermid, he didn’t. He’s not in the protected class of players/teams.

$5000K fine just for being an idiot. I don't know if you can suspend him really, but slap him with a fine.

idno i feel like that would be pretty steep....5000k is more than his current 2 yr deal total

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Whatever the guy was trying to do...

What's with these influencer-style thread titles?

Guy threw his skate up high but the skate or boot itself never caught Quick in the head. It ended at his elbow inches from his head then a split second later Quick throws his head over in reaction to it.

Now, the idiot might have been trying to kill Quick. Okay. But he never kicked him in the head.
