Could care less who won tonight but seems like a pretty blatant hit to the head. No penalty assessed, Galchenyuk slow to get up

 

[MoreMogilny]

That’s not Perry. He’s skating behind.

I believe that’s Petry.

 

[CorgisPer60]

There we go. They completely missed that on the live feed. I wondered what happened after he took the shot. Definitely looks like a head hit from that angle.

 

[Cenzo_]

With those replays you for sure will have Petry playing game 7, we can t see sh,it

 

[Jee]

looks bad, need another angle though

edit: that's not Perry though

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Difficult to see anything with these angles.

 

[foggyvisor]

Nope.

Galchenyuk cuts in on his edges at the last second and gets himself clipped. Petry stays on the same line.

Close up the thread.

Yeah tough to see the principal point of contact but it doesn’t look like a good hit


Doubt we will see a suspension though

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Difficult to see with these angles. It could have caught him high or to the chest.

Parros has been committed to $5,000 fines of late.

Looks like it was completely accidental to me, Petry was going in a straight line and Galchenyuk (being the low IQ player he is) randomly cuts in and gets shoulder checked...Petry looking back makes it look intentional but I think he was just looking back to see wtf happened.

Probs no review from the league.

 

[The National]

Hard to tell for sure, but it appears high.

 

[Legend123]

you cant suspend Petry. Hes too important

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Hard to tell from that angle, but the last replay doesn't look great.


Actually, it looks a lot like the Kadri on Faulk hit.


Wouldn't be surprised to see DOPS call with Petry tomorrow. Very interesting to see how it plays out as a suspension to Petry would be a massive blow to the Habs, and a game 7 suspension would be a ballsy call from Parros, something he hasn't shown capable of doing recently unless your name is Nazem Kadri.

 

[Tryblot]

Looks like a Blues player. What would the Habs want for him?

All we have right now as it happened right before GWG

Nope.

Close up the thread.

Galchenyuk doesn’t move enough to change the trajectory of the hit from legal to illegal. He’s going to miss the shoulder and clip the head.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Looks like it was completely accidental to me, and then Petry looks back to see wtf happened - which makes it look intentional.

Probs no review from the league.

Wait, wtf is this logic?


Just because a hit is accidental or unintentional doesn't make it f***ing ok? Jesus.

 

[Just Linda]

Doesn't look good. Petry doesn't have a history though, I think that lends him some benefit of the doubt. I think it warrants a regular season suspension but Parros probably thinks it's alright.

 

[canucklover123]

Damn, I guess the officials were too busy looking for a non existent icing call the other way

Yes he does.

Why am I arguing with a bot?

Idk about it making it "f***ing ok" but it certainly makes it a non issue...Petry is not to blame here. He was skating in a straight line and Galchenyuk cut in and put himself in a vulnerable player.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I don't see clear contact to the head because those replays are garbage at like 12 fps.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

I don't see any review from the league. Its not a blind side hit, don't know how Chucky didn't see it coming. Hard to tell but looks like the chest was the principle point of contact.

 

[Ezpz]

Is that the excuse if the Leafs lose like whatever about the stick in 1993 that always gets brought up? "If Petry were suspended the Leafs woulda won the cup!"

Well that is completely untrue. Watch the f***ing replay. Petry clearly was going for the hit and just missed.
