GDT: HFBoards GDT | 4/6/19 | last night of the regular season

[Tkachuky]

I can guarantee almost no one would truly wish what just happened to McDavid on Gaudreau.

But it’s ok on Gio or Chucky?

 

[Bounces R Way]

That replay did not look good at all for Connor. Knee right into the post. Said this after his collarbone injury but I'm a little surprised it hasn't happened more often with the kind of speed he breaks in with. Not trying to blame him at all, just an observation.

 

[CraigsList]

Didn't know the Oilers could play WWE smackdown on a player not even close to the puck.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Did McDavid grab his stick?

Why's he diving into the legs of guy who just beat him wide? He has a history of reckless plays when a forward starts to beat him on the rush.

Man if you can’t tell the difference between banter and actual joy from the best player in the world likely breaking his leg and never being the same player again I don’t know what to say

That play happens countless times every year. Sucks that someone got hurt, being upset at that fact is reasonable, but it wasn't a dirty play

Is it the first time you ever see a player try to poke check the puck away from a player driving the play?

Gio isn't just going to let him skate past. It sucks the best Hockey Player in the World got hurt. That's Hockey though.

It’s not banter. Did I say it’s good that this happened to McDavid? No of course not.

I’m defending people that jump to conclusions on Gio. This poke check like that happens often and it sucks how it happened with the injury.

Looked clear to me that his shin hit the post. Watch the replay again maybe.

It’s a penalty.

Clearly Gio didn’t intend the resulting injury, but it was still a trip.

Just a sickening result all around.

I've seen Giordano stick out his knee plenty of times. Was finally suspended this season for it. He panics and acts recklessly when beat wide, and once again someone gets hurt.

Sure but on this particular play he dove to poke check the puck away.

Agreed. I hope he doesn’t have a significant injury if any at all. Hopefully it’s just a painful knock and swollen knee with no fracture.

 

[Sam Spade]

How do the Jets score all these goals and none of them are by Laine?

There is no way he isn't gonna rip it up in the playoffs.

 

[GodPucker]

Mister Bean, AKA Giordano is such a reckless player. Good, but reckless. How many guys has he injured?

Always happens with this guy. Hope karma hits him good

99 points for MacK

Gaudreau and MacKinnon knocking on the door.

Rivalries aside no one wants to see career altering injuries to players of that caliber.

We already saw Orr robbed of a full career from knee injuries. Lindros with concussions as well.

Hopefully it’s not the worst case and a complete break of his shin bone or major ligament tears (ACL, MCL, LCL).

 

[logan5]

Agreed. I hope he doesn’t have a significant injury if any at all. Hopefully it’s just a painful knock and swollen knee with no fracture.

Once again, not the knee. Broken tibia.

Clocked in at 42.8 kmph before the trip

Clocked in at 42.8 kmph before the trip

Crazy, that's almost 27 mph for you Americans to understand. that's way to fast in that area of the ice. head first at that speed could be life altering.

Is this the first time you’ve ever seen someone try to separate the player from the puck after being beaten wide? This is a very common play which is why McDavid already had his glove out to grab Giordano’s stick. Wasn’t intentional, it’s just a play that happens a lot when players are beaten wide.

 

[Stlblues87]

That's one! That's two! That's three! That's four!

Thank you sir may we have another!

He shoots!
He scores!
You suck!

Ward! Ward! Ward!

You suck!

It's all your fault! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!​

Which 6 year old Nashville fan came up with that gem?

They said that’s the fastest they’ve ever clocked him.

Previously hit him at 40.7.

42.8 kmph is insane
