dubnyk hitting hornqvist while 2 players have him in a headlock

[PromisedLand]

hey horny at least buy him dinner first before trying to kiss him

I mean, Hornqvist is at the edge of the crease with two Wild players behind him. Duby overreacted, Hornqvist is a pest but he didn't do anything there.

 

[oobga]

Nice one Dubs!

 

[Beauner]

Embarassng refereeing giving Hornqvist 4 on that. Absolutely ridiculous

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

You don't F with goalies. I don't know what the hell Hornqvist was thinking.

Hornqvist is one of those sneaky players who only has a job for that borderline cross the line net front presence.

He took a swing at Dubnyk's head
But other than that, yeah you're right, he didn't do anything else

Honestly missed it, which says something about the swing- still think 3 blocker shots is a bit excessive, those things hurt, but eh- not at all outta the blue then, I thought it was just the pawing at the head that irked him.

Hornqvist is one of those sneaky players who only has a job for that borderline cross the line net front presence.

He's scored 20+ goals practically every season of his career, but sure, he's just there to mix it up in front of the net. No other skills to speak of.

 

[Asinine]

Devan Dubnyk is a dangerously insane individual.

 

[Chrisinroch]

You started a thread for that?!?

 

[zar]

Hornqvist should have done that to Billy Smith or Hextall.

 

[eviohh26]

Brah. People gotta stop making nothing threads.

 

[JoVel]

Yeah I'm not complaining about anyone hitting Hornqvist.

 

[Beau Knows]

Hornqvist is one of those guys I'd hate if he wasn't on my team. No surprise everyone else hates him .

Guy takes a beating every night and always comes back for more, I don't know how he does it.

 

[Jtown]

Long overdue

 

[DFAC]

This is a whole lotta nothing

 

[crosby87]

Your example sucks. That thread is about the end of an era in hockey history. Not a whinefest about a hockey player getting punched during a hockey game.

Not the best example, but I used it cause it was posted by him, and to me it is completely pointless. My point still stands; there are tons of useless threads(this 1 included).

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Dubnyk was probably out of line.
Hornqvist probably deserved it.
I didn't see the play in question.

 

[BrianE]

Hornqvist should have done that to Billy Smith or Hextall or Belfour

Those guys would of made Dubnyk look like a gentleman.

Pretty good description of it for someone who didn't see it.

And the world keeps turning...

 

[Sol]

If anyone deserves it, it's hornqvist. Fair play.

51.3 Match Penalty - If, in the judgment of the Referee, a goalkeeper uses his blocking glove to punch an opponent in an attempt to or to deliberately injure an opponent, a match penalty may be assessed.

Luckily for the game, this hasn't been the judgement of the referee pretty much forever, at least in the NHL.

 

[Zen Arcade]

I've never seen a match penalty call for a goalie punching someone with a blocker, I know it's a rule but I've never seen it happen.

That being said, Dubnyk might as well have gotten one with how he played after this. The 3rd and 4th goals were directly because of rebounds and the 5th was just weird.

He half-heartedly lifts his arm to signal for icing even though there was no way his players were going to get to the puck first, then he just kind of sits halfway in the net and when puck is passed to the slot he's completely helpless.

 

[Shrimper]

Goalies punching with their blockers is an incredibly dangerous thing to do. That's a 1 game suspension right there
