Totally clean. Contact directly to the head is totally clean. Okay guys.

Blew him up right in the chest. The head moves as a reaction of the force of the hit.

If it was to the head then Eakin would be in the dressing room, is he?

Looks clean to me.

Not sure. Haven't noticed him much.

Clean hit, Boro went for center mass, doesn’t look like a head hunting hit.

Vegas is lucky they got a PP out of that considering what Colorado got away with last game.

that is definitely a suspension if i had anything to do with it

Well he did catch Eakin's head, but how the hit was delivered was clean


To eliminate head shots you need to eliminate body contact. For those who will say it's dirty because contact was made with the head.

Sometimes you can crouch down and go straight through the chest, but hockey is a tremendously fast sport where things just happen. Even so much so with the player getting hit moving downwards for whatever the reason at the last second before the hit.

In short did make head contact but couldn't be avoided. If you're upset and think that's a dirty headshot, then just say you want body contact removed, or you don't understand how body contact works.

 

[Sam Spade]

Borowiecki won't even get a call from DOPS for that hit.

 

[UnrefinedCrude]

That looks like a legal hit. Not every hit with the head involved is illegal. He hit him pretty straight on, and directly through the body. I don't see a suspension here. shouldn't have been 5.

This is exactly what happened. Good analysis.

what happened to vgk and their relentlessness?

Timo's gonna lead the NHL in goals.

*hyperbole*.

 

[Foppberg]

Timo Meier might be one of the most underrated up and coming players in the league. 11 points in 11 games so far along with great defensive play. I always thought of him as a "thank you San Jose" for taking him and not Rantanen, but the kid looks good.

 

[PromisedLand]

otttawa senators a such divers its pathetic

 

[Sensin5]

Soft call on Lindberg evens out weak ass call against De Melo in first period. Those were both barely contact - five times the force often goes uncalled.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Is Hertl triple shifting? Wow, what a game he's having

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Vegas is not good at all.

 

[swiftwin]

I swear to god, Ottawa only ever wins when they're badly outshot.

Vegas puts up shots but they can't score.

Ridiculous.

Eugene’s wallet goes a long way.

Clock has struck midnight

Surprised Tierney didn't get 5 for that hit.

FWIW Eakin hasn't returned to this game. Which sucks cause he's one of Vegas' more consistent threats outside the top line.

 

[snipes]

Tuch going Bobby Orr end to end

 

[MessierII]

Vegas has no finish

 

[voxel]

Chartier scored? Congrats kid. My fav darkhorse prospect since I watched him on the Rockets with Draisaitl. Expected him to be an NHL player by now - but he's been hobbled by injuries.
