dubnyk hitting hornqvist while 2 players have him in a headlock

[Number8]

Shame for Hornqvist. If he was a greasy player who had made a career of carrying out his own cheap, sneaky crap I could maybe understand. Wait..........

Never mind, carry on. Nothing to see here.

You are missing some words in this paragraph. It states " If, in the judgment of the Referee, a goalkeeper uses his blocking glove to punch an opponent in the head or face in an attempt to or to deliberately injure an opponent, a match penalty must be assessed.

This is direct wording from the NHL rule book. You are quoting the 2018-19 rules. It has been changed for this season.

Yeah a couple of blocker shots, don't see enough of them.

However Dybnyk could have picked another target from that team...

such dirty

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.

Well everyone in the hockey world should know by now that the officials do not call by the book, depends on where the game is at that determines what they call. Sad but true.

The two ref system is useless but that discussion needs another thread. Officiating is poor just like the NFL.

those few taps to his chest? lol. Hope Hornqvist's injuries aren't life threatening.

let a 6’6 athlete put on a blocker and punch you in the chest and ribs

then report back

Again... this is a thread.

Yes, he is an angel. He doesn't hack away at the goalie well after the pick is covered. He is an amazing net front presence who is a dbag in general. He is not some innocent angel who only receives punishment, he deals a lot of it as well.

Hornqvist plays to the whistle, like you should. He should expect tough play in front of the net but theres no excuse for giving him cheap shots after the whistle.

 

[Macbanan]

People hate Hornqvist because he does his job right. There's no real dirtyness, no injuring plays that I'm aware of. He's just super annoying.

 

[The Macho King]

Okay? Don't f*** with the goalie.

 

[fasterthanlight]

Did he get hurt or something? Doesn't seem thread worthy IMO
