Just saying, there’s a reason this specific incident isn’t common for scrums. There are levels of risk and this was excessive.he was knowingly engaging in risky behavior. I mean hockey is inherently risky the way it is. you engage in something outside the realm of the rules (idgaf if people do it all the time--see the speeding post) and your risk goes up. no, it doesn't mean it wasn't a pos move but you sort of expose yourself to an escalating scale of POS moves by engaging in post whistle shenanigans.
Saying it’s the same, like one level of risk, is like saying Sundqvist shouldn’t have skated the puck into the zone cuz he was inviting Wilson (or anyone) to blow him up. It was completely avoidable and there was no excuse for it.
Buf could have pulled Carrick down, or face washed him, or a variety of other options that wouldn’t seriously risk Carricks health. There’s no excuse for it
