Getzlaf hit on Virtanen

[Daz28]

So in a nutshell you still hold a crudge against Getzlaf for a hit almost a decade ago where Hamhuis turned his back on Getzlaf and got injured in the process and that's why you called him names that don't apply to him.

I think he kinda already admitted that, which most people wouldn't. We all have our irrational grudges, so don't act innocent.

Somewhat, but not as much as I had before. That incident was more an example of why I define him as that player

 

[crazychimp]

I like Getzlaf, but that was definitely accidentally on purpose. Went straight for him there.

I don't know if it's cuz I'm getting older, or that the league is just softer in general, but I don't have near as much irrational hate as I used to. I kinda long for the days when teams mixed it up more, and I'd be heated for days over some things. It made waiting for the next game sooo much more fun, and def better pre-gaming fun.

It has gotten softer, there's no denying it, but at the very least the league is trying to minimize concussions at the very least.

With that said, I love the speed and skill of today's game but at the same time, I miss the rumble toughness in the 90s as well.

Wow Getz isn't even on pace to hit 60 points this year. Mid 50's. How the mighty have fallen

We don't have to go that far back even. I'd be fine with the Kings-Ducks match ups of a few years ago. DET-COL was kinda too much like WWF.

Thing is he(or anyone else) could have destroyed him. I see it as a pick gone wrong, or at least if accidental on purpose, he expected Virts to see him. Otherwise he would have just blown him up.

interference penalty and that's it. change the logo or the name and no one would bat an eye.

Ducks are irrelevant, there is no conspiracy against them.

 

[StreetHawk]

Accidentally on purpose.

Pretty much. Not blatant enough to warrant any further discipline. But enough that a fight with gudbranson was warranted which he accepted.

Nothing further.

Good ol sasky boy

Well, only handcuffed by Getz and Perry contracts for next year, and Kes looks like a LTIR candidate. The new issue is gonna be when a bad RFA contract bites ya in the butt.

You got it wrong. That post was supposed to be for another thread.

Well it still fits for post #56.

I'd say it's dirty. Blindside hits are always dirty. Getzlaf was definitely targeting Virtanen. Most likely for the dirty play he made on Perry.

Dirty play on Perry.
Knocking a guy off the puck is dirty?

 

[drewjenks]

Is it clean or dirty?

He ran into him intentionally.
But he wasn't trying to injure him.

Meh.

 

[Sol]

Completely on purpose. Getzlaf was looking straight the whole time. I do respect the razzle dazzle of him trying to sell it. Accidental flop.


He's been a clown enough in this league long enough for the average person to know this was Intentional.



For additional context, Virtanen laid out Perry a few seconds before Getzlaf cheapshotted him.

not to mention it would violate several rules of quantum physics for a dirty play to exist near corey perry unless he initiated it. if such a thing were to happen, we'd instantly cross the event horizon into a parallel universe.

He didnt "destroy" him because that would have been an obvious suspension considering Virtanen never had the puck. Getzlaf is too smart for that. Low-key dirty is more Getzlaf style.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

2 minutes is fine.

 

[Anomie2029]

Absolutely dirty play.

 

[12ozPapa]

Literally have never heard of Getzlaf being a dirty player until this thread on this forum.

Interesting for sure.

Not a really dirty play or anything. Just after he knocked Perry down he gave a bit of a slash to his arm. It happened so fast I doubt Virtanen had the intention of doing it. It definitely wasn't enough to justify what Getzlaf did.

Not what I was suggesting. people hate us and getzlaf so they'll take whatever excuse they can to call him dirty. this wasn't a dirty or malicious hit.

Indeed.
