Gudbranson lays out rookie Dube

[Cellee]

What the hell is Gudbranson doing?

The only thing wrong with this contact is the timing. Was a buddy pass that Gudbranson simply misjudged - Dube was going to get crushed no matter what. There's no contact to the head, though, simply a hard hit. Can't really fault Dube, either, that was a terrible situation to pass it to him.

Interference is absolutely the right call. Nothing more, though. Don't know why Hamonic decided to fight him - I hate this mindset of fighting after any big hit. If he got hurt in the fight, that's on him.

Did Dube touch the puck?

Classic interference penalty. Give that man 2 minutes!

It’s okay though Hamonic surely got some revenge by smashing his face into Gudbranson’s fists.

Did Dube touch the puck?

No the hit was a split second early. Hence the interference penalty.

I read this as "Gudbranson lays out rookie Dubas" and now I'm kinda disappointed ngl

Did Dube touch the puck?

nope, but the puck was in play reach, (or as in the puck was near him) so he doesn't exactly have to touch the puck. You yourself should know by now if you've been following hockey long enough.

Harmonic was in way over his head against Gudbranson there

What's Hamonic thinking? And Gudbranson was +3 with an assist? Awesome night for him.

 

[LamorielloAndSon]

Held his own pretty well actually

There's a technical term for people who don't like Travis Hamonic, and that term is "asshat". Seriously, he is one of the absolute greatest guys in the whole league, I hope Gudbranson has a run in with Ross the Boss when he visits Brooklyn and gets his clock cleaned.

Until he got dropped.

Gudbranson is a terrible defenseman but at least he can fight. For his sake he better hope Prout isn't in the lineup on Saturday.

Reading the play. Flames D wanted to move the puck to the kid but a Canuck was in between the 2 flames so the Dman bounced the pass off the boards instead. Gudbranson expected a direct pass and stepped into Dube. But the angle of the pass off the boards didn’t get to dube thus gudbranson ended up hitting him without the puck.

It was an early hit on a rookie literally playing his first NHL game. I'd be embarrassed if that happened to my team and someone DIDNT fight afterwards.

 

[Bronson]

It was interference but what the hell is Dube doing on that play?

 

[Del Preston]

You can tell how hard the punch at 0:30 was just by listening to the crowd's reaction.

 

[Beville]

Strong tilt, only 2 minute for interference it didn’t seem malicious/intent to injure.

He got knocked lol

Prout is still in the NHL? damn

 

[Nucker101]

Suicide pass

 

[The Head Crusher]

An interference penalty no doubt. It doesn't warrant anything else in my opinion, however it could have been much worse.
