Tell that to Makar.

Tell him from the other side of the room though. Don’t want to be blamed for him slipping and have to read a dozen pages about it.

 

[andora]

f*** okposo

Anyone can answer - with how they were aligned what is the point of okposo putting his hands there?

 

[Yatzhee]

Okposo could've stood in front of the net and allowed Cale to retrieve the puck. Still would've been a backcheck/allow a possible stick in the way.

Give it a rest already. Hockey players play to the puck. What Kyle did is standard in every game. Making it out as though his actions caused Makar's injury, is more than a reach.

If I were a fan of this player I would be directing my anger not at the soft glove resting on his back before they even pass the net…and towards the even softer response from teammates. No one wants to fight? No one wants to hit someone back? We just saw (allegedly) the most dangerous ill intent ever unleashed on the ice on your star player. No reaction?

I was way more pissed about that really. Pathetic.

 

[Yatzhee]

Yep. That's why this isn't even boarding.

It was an unfortunate result to one of hockey's most routine plays.

Yep.

Sometimes I have to ask if someone has ever played hockey when weird things are said that make zero sense in a game.

Today I’m forced to ask…have you ever seen hockey?

A sabres player definitely has a target on their back December 13th.

Makar back on the bench after that vicious assault by known hooligan Kyle Okposo.

Lock for comeback player of the year?

Oh no. Retribution from a team that didn’t care when it happened whatsoever.

Better just forfeit.

I mean I see it on a penalty kill all the time, shorthanded teams players chases the player behind the net but stops up instead and stands in front of the goalie.

 

[Beerz]

All that anger and Makar is back lol

Yes. Shorthanded.

Your take is the whackiest in a thread of whacky takes.

Glad Makar is back.

 

[ElysiumAB]

Makar back on the bench after that vicious assault by known hooligan Kyle Okposo.

Avs broadcast team has called it "a hit", "a shot to the back", "a crosscheck to the numbers", and "brutal."

It's been pretty entertaining.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

And another imaginary penalty on the sabres.

 

[Korpse]

Good to see Makar back, pushing down on the top of the pants is a great way to take the legs out of a player. Hate when guys do it to a guy skating into the boards.

 

[Yatzhee]

Okposo blocked that pass...

Some Colorado fans: 10 minute penalty, 6 game suspension!!!!

So you'd be just fine if the scenario was reversed with Dahlin?

 

[gallagt01]

So if that exact same scenario happened with dahlin, you'd be just fine?

I would be disappointed that Dahlin was injured/potentially injured, as Avs fans should be with Makar. But I'd be able to take my homer goggles off to admit that it was an unfortunate result to a completely routine hockey play.

 

[Steddy33]

Colorado fans in this thread should be embarrassed for themselves

Tbh, I am pretty sure Sabres fans would get shouty-whiney, indignant, and scandalized just like Avs fans. It is what it is: hfboards.

I need to see a few more clips of it. I'm more annoyed that the whistle took so long. Anytime an injury happens on the ice, I always go back to Elias Pettersons slap shot to Calvert's head but Vancouver had possession so play continued.

I mean I saw video on twitter of actual former NHL players saying the hit was not routine and dirty. I feel like their opinion may have more weight than a poster on HF.

I agree that the whistle should've gone right away.

I didnt see a hit.

Lmao, ok, what are we doing here then? You're an HF poster too.

Whacky post.

It wasn't dirty.
