Hamonic dirty head clipping on Chaisson

[Giggli G]

No injury so I doubt anything will happen, but it was a very dirty blindside hit to the head. Here is the clip.

Looks to me like Hamonic is just skating towards the puck. He's not even looking to throw a body check. This is nothing unless another angle shows something else

What? Hit him in the shoulder. League is so soft where you can’t even hit people.

 

[Giggli G]

Apparently some people here think the head is part of the shoulder

I mean it is a blindside hit.. it’s legal but it’s still questionable. Judging by his reaction think Hamonic knew that as well

 

[Kryten]

Sucks that the head was the point of contact, doesnt look intentional. McDavids high elbows the last few games were worse IMO and Im cheering for him to get to 100

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Didn't sound very harmonic to me.

I mean Hamonic turned around ready to answer for it, so make of that what you will. Implies some guilt IMO.

Can't see a suspension though.

This is what it was. These whines over every hit are ridiculous.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

5k fine is the default for those according to Parros and the DoPS.

I agree it probably wasn't intentional. I also think plenty of hits considered dirty are not necessarily fully intentional.

Chiasson ran into him brah.

..he says as the puck just goes past Hamonic and he makes no attempt towards it.

 

[KidLine93]

Hamonic owned up to it right away. gotta respect him for that. he just plays hard and it wasn't predatory

Real time and wide angle he definitely tries to make contact. Clip is just cut because Chiasson and Hamonic fought after and SN replayed almost the entire fight after the hit. If the issue is with the blindside nature of it, it is a blindside. I think it may be more of a lapse in judgement than intentionally trying to hit a vulnerable player, though

Of course he did. This is hockey. Thats how you play hockey, a contact sport. But chiasson led with his head. It wasn't AT ALL like Hamonic targeted his head or even expected it. That's why a penalty wasn't called. This was by all angles a run of the mill hockey collision. Chiasson took exception, Hamonic answered the bell and probably told him in the bin" look man I wasn't going after you that way," which he wasn't. This shouldn't be a thread.

Hit looked fine to me.

 

[bov]

2 minute illegal check to the head at worst. Typical HF thread.

 

[HansonBro]

Chiasson should be fined for that dive if anything

Not even that.

 

[mw2noobbuster]

Suspend Wilson 5 games for this hit.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Not a big deal. It's a hit that you shouldn't make, but didn't look intentional. Settled with a bit of a wrestling match. I assume Chiasson is okay.

 

[SI90]

Doesn’t seem like it was malicious. The description in the OP makes it seem way worse.

Your first post was agreeing with the notion that he didn’t try to make contact, which you are now saying he was. Was just trying to clear that portion up

For the actual hit I wouldn’t say this is “just how you play hockey”. It may be legal but generally don’t hit a player here. Only reason a blindside is legal at all is to prevent players from putting themselves into bad spots. That’s not what happened here. There is nothing Chiasson could’ve done to protect himself. Like I said though, I don’t see a lot of intent (saw vulnerable player and took advantage). Looks like a lapse in judgement
