If it helps you sleep at night? I'll wager that during the playoffs the last few years more Capitals opponents have been injured than vice versa.
Oshie hasn't even missed a game yet...

Cool, so if a Capital hits Aho like that and he breaks his arm, it's all good.
Two minutes and we move on.
Great parallel. One injured on an illegal crosscheck into the boards. The other injured in a fight he signed up for.
The logic is overflowing.

Yep... but he was hurt, so they did.
In principle I’d say they should always call plays that are higher chance to cause an injury regardless if it actually injures... the idea being to make players more reluctant to do those plays, rather than just punishing injuries themselves teaching players they can get away with it. Regardless of teams or game context (more so for more serious penalties.)

Svechnikov asked to get fed. Oshie didn’t ask to get hit from behind.
I like the Caps but I can admit that Ovie fighting a child was really stupid and classless. Hopefully some Canes fans can admit the same about the Oshie play.

If Ovi had checked Oshie he would have punched him on the way to the boards and we'd be told he was trying to help him.
Svech made a decision to fight, and got his ass beat. What does this have to do with a crosscheck/boarding that injures a capital?
In my opinion, I am ok with this not being a suspendable call. There is no intention to injure here. Thats a hockey play that you see 100 times in a game, this was just really bad outcome. Sucks we lost Oshie, but this is hockey, it happens.

yep. at the end of the day they both squared up. we didn't like it, our guy got hurt, but the refs got it right.

That is the most dangerous hit in hockey. Hitting a guy from behind at that distance from the boards. I saw a player get paralysed on a similar hit.
The player should know better. He knows that he shouldn't hit a guy in the back there. That is a lack of respect.

This. Recklessness is still a problem if it’s not intentional. You want it ingrained in players heads you can’t do that (put your stick on their back and push) so they don’t even do it by mistake.

Why didnt you like it? Your guy asked for the fight and he got it. My question is why was he asking Ovi to fight? Ovi isnt a fighter. They wanted to get him off the ice for 5 minutes. He probably didnt expect to get knocked out.

well, then, when you're right and foegele gets suspended for eleventy seven games, you can feel free to say you told me so.
except that ain't happening, so. whatever.

Not sure if he will get anything or not but it is the most dangerous hit in hockey. Your opinion isnt going to change that.

So glad we get another home game. Love that all these young guys are getting playoff experience, and they get to experience what a Carolina crowd can be like in the playoffs.
Hopefully it makes them hungrier for that in future seasons. No more of this decade-long drought bull.

What is he going to do? Svechnikov wanted to go. Was OV going to just skate away? No way he was going to do that.

Well Ovi said the kid asked to fight. I never heard anyone else say otherwise.
I heard Brindamour whine about the fight and he didnt say Ovi asked for the fight. I have lost a lot of respect for him because of the ridiculous comments he has made the past few days. I didnt think he was such a whiner.

He said he talked to Svech who denied asking for a fight,
A distinct possibility one side or the other is using “asked to fight” more or less literally than the other; a disconnect maybe
It was a heated, emotional exchange between two adults. That’s really all that matters, even if Ovi literally asked to fight, I can’t see how anyone would think Svech was forced.
18 y o “kids” are as responsible as adults legally for anything, and the vast majority manage to avoid trouble as much as adults. I think he is capable of making his own decision and he made a bad one at one stage or another
Crosby wanted to fight at some point, no? At least both guys were heavily chirping each other but it never materialized. Why it materializes only when the player is relatively speaking among the weakest in the league? If Ovi drops gloves regularly that's another story but he almost never fights.

Jesus the Ovi/Svechnikov fight talk has run its course. It’s a he said she said pissing match.
The Oshie hit was dangerous and reckless and Foegelle deserves a call from DoPs for it

Sure, let’s debate the Svech/OV fight some more. That’s been fun.
