Hyman/McAvoy & Wagner/Rielly hits Discussion

[Pi]

f*** off NHL.

Bruins get their panties in a bunch when someone tries to hit their players but they go out head hunting every game?

 

[Spazkat]

The outrage and hyperbole when Hyman gets suspended is going to be glorious.

 

[stampedingviking]

Are people actually saying that Hyman hit was dirty? This is hockey stop being so soft, solid old-time Canadian hit. If bruins can dish it out then they better be ready to take it

Of course it's dirty, it's far too late

Do they not teach the rules in Canada. I thought it was your game?

 

[Over the volcano]

He was angry he hurt himself when McAvoy ducked his hit earlier in the game, I need to find the clip it was a glorious miss.

He was looking to run McAvoy all game, could only do it late and when McAvoy was looking the other way.. .

 

[RASHBEEP]

both hits looked dirty to me

hyman's was late af, and wagner's was targeting the head

How many pages if Marchand did the exact same hit to Matthews or Marner. 100? I’m sure then it wouldn’t be “clean”.

Didn't McAvoy try to headsmash marner into the boards in the first 30 secs of the game?

His penalized cross-check? Yeah what does that have to do with Hyman’s late hit on McAvoy?

Fact stands if this happened to a Leaf freshly back from a concussion this place would be going nuts.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Wagner hit was fine. Hyman will rightfully get suspended for that late interference turd job.

 

[TimThomas24]

Leaf fans are like that kid with glasses in the 3rd grade constantly being a tattletale, and a little know it all.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Didn't McAvoy try to headsmash marner into the boards in the first 30 secs of the game?

It was a light push on a little flower-in-the-wind. But I guess it was enough for Marner to pack it in and play scared for the rest of the game.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Be a shame if Bruins players were taking runs at Matthews like that in a blowout game.

Yep, did it to Rielly instead.

 

[WillTheThrill]

I give him credit for dropping the gloves. After Matthews was dumped into he boards, his teammates just stood around and showed no back bone whatsoever.

Rielly tried to do something but he got wrapped up quick.

For sure, but I'm bringing that up in defense to "Wagner did it to retaliate". Same logic can be applied to Hyman?

I think Wagner's hit could have been a lot worse had Rielly not dodged it. Only difference is McAvoy was looking off into space 1.5 secs after making a pass.

Wagner’s was 100% an emotional retaliation. It could have been a lot harder if Reilly didn’t peel off at the last second. But I also can’t say for sure if his intention was to hit anywhere but the body, but I’d say it was for sure charging.

Hyman’s hit was 100% intended as a late hit. He’s staring at McAvoy the whole time. His intention was to hit regardless of when he got rid of the puck. Some people are saying a hit to the head but I haven’t seen an angle that really shows where he was actually hit. Maybe it was retaliation too.

 

[FerrisRox]

Rielly tried to do something but he got wrapped up quick.

C'mon, he got "wrapped up" by Nyqvist of all people. He skated in hard from the point, but had already started gliding before he got "wrapped up."

If Reilly really wanted to do something, he certainly could have gotten free from from Gustav Nyqvist.
