By that logic if you are defending Wagner you can't think the Hyman hit was bad? I am just double checking the logic. Live by the sword die by the sword right?Live by the sword, die by the sword.
If Leafs fans are defending Hyman, then they can't attack Wagner for his hit.
Rome against Boston SCF, 4 games for a hit 0.4 seconds late.When Raffi Torres got suspended in the playoffs against Chicago it was cited that his hit was late (he also left his feet - not con paring hits) at 0.7 Seconds. Had never heard that threshold before and remember shaking my head at that number. How does a player stop a hit in half a second?
Good luck with that
your comment was Wagner was going for his head but missed. say what you will but sure seems you you knew he was targeting his head. not sure how else to take this statement.You can quote me if you are going to refer to me I think Wagner was going for his head. I didn't say I knew anything, I think he was going for his head....Rielly saw him in time and was able to brace for it. He didn't catch him in the head so it doesn't really matter.
Okay....so I wasn't going to do this but this is the second time you have brought this up The Rome hit was late...in open ice, was jumped into and direct contact to the head. The Hyman hit was late. You can do a lot better then this. I believe in you.Rome against Boston SCF, 4 games for a hit 0.4 seconds late.
Only in their minds, no one else's.Late hits aren't clean, though. Maybe try knowing the rules of the game. I thought toronto was the center of the hockey universe? lol.
Late hit or not, it isn't wise to just stand there and let another player steamroll you. Maybe he genuinely didn't see Hyman coming - I don't know. It was a late hit for sure, worthy of a penalty but not a suspension in my opinion.
That is my opinion? I am not really sure what seems to be confusing you here to be quite honestyour comment was Wagner was going for his head but missed. say what you will but sure seems you you knew he was targeting his head. not sure how else to take this statement.
Again. Why would he defend himself from a deliberate illegal play? If you are not eligible to be hit then you are not going to defend yourself. McAvoy can stand there all day and unless he touches the puck he cannot be hit.
let's see,you are having debates with anyone that disagrees with your leaf homerism opinion. can I remind you of your earlier statement?That is my opinion? I am not really sure what seems to be confusing you here to be quite honest
Borderline?The hysterical crying by Bruins fans about such a borderline hit is pretty sad. I like the work ethic of that team and the adherence to a more traditional style of play. The fans and Jack Edwards though, it’s a drama filled victim fest. You would hope such a tough team would have equally tough, moderately stoic fans. Sadly nope. Everything is a conspiracy or outrageous afront.
It was clearly very late, not slightly.Hymans hit slightly late, Bruins guy fights him and gets his arse whooped, but that should have been it right there, Hyman answered the bell and cleaned Gryz's clock
But nope, Bruins gonna Bruin, had to try to run a guy to get an extra pound of flesh, luckily Rielly can take a hit
oh wow what a burn bro.Always funny reading Leafs' fans losing their minds....oh, wait, most who post in here don't appear to have one.
The context of Hyman's hit was that he was still angry at McAvoy for pushing over Marner in the first 15 seconds of the game. It was predatory as ****, there is simply no denying it.
For sure, Hyman was in the wrong. I'm just trying to say I don't think it's a suspendable hit. The penalty was well deserved and it was a ****ty thing for hyman to do.
This type of stuff actually happens quite often and the play looks a lot serious if not braced for. I'll use my own leaf players for example. Couple days ago, this was kronwall's hit on matthews who didn't even have the puck. He wasn't suspended and a big deal wasn't made of this hit, although it def was a dirty hit.
Huh? Yeah you are absolutely still confused Let's start with this....I didn't disagree with your opinion you disagreed with mine and second I didn't cry about anything, at all. I will be pleasantly surprised if you actually tap out though.let's see,you are having debates with anyone that disagrees with your leaf homerism opinion. can I remind you of your earlier statement?
"People on both sides need to stop crying about other people crying."
the irony. you might want to live by the very words you use on others. my final comment,so feel free to get your last rebuttal regarding something fans need to stop crying about
Hypocrisy at it's best. My team's hit wasn't that dirty but the other team's hit was classless, cheap and dirty.Hyman's was late, but not that dirty. I don't think it was suspension worthy, but a penalty was understandable. It's good that McAvoy seems to be okay, as he's one of the few Bruins I actually like and respect.
As for Wagner: That was cheap, dirty, classless and shades of Tom Wilson. Complete dirt. He intended to injure. No room for that in the game.
Hyman isn't the type of player to aim to injure, throw dirty hits, etc. He made a mistake, yes, but it didn't look like he hit McAvoy's head and it wasn't terribly late. He's not garbage like Wagner.
Hyman finished his hit, and yes it was late, and yes it deserved a penalty. But it wasn't a targeted head shot. It was a hard hit to the shoulder area (from what I saw).
Wagner aimed to kill Rielly. Wagner should not be in the League. Like Tom Wilson.
Kadri is far worse than Burrows ever was. At least Burrows never targeted the head, unlike Kadri.He's no angel and not always the cleanest, but he's nowhere close to as dirty as Burrows, Wilson, Marchand, etc. I can't blame you for thinking so, though, because Canucks fans always have a hate on for Kadri even though the hit on soft Sedin was to the shoulder.
Atleast it goes both ways I guess.Leaf fans are literally unbearable.
One was very late and the other was borderline clean.One was a slightly late hit and the other was intent to injure
