Konecny cheapshot on McAvoy

[Absurdity]

Is it just me, or does anyone else notice how McAvoy is the recipient of a lot of cheap shots?

It's a trend these days because the NHL punishes players for taking matters into their own hands rather than punishing the player for the cheap shot (in my opinion, this play should have resulted in a penalty on the Flyers).

I really don't understand why people are saying it's a "clean hit". The puck's in the netting and the whistle was blown. What's he doing hitting him at all?

as per Leaf fans the Bruins don't have haters?

They don't even know the whole scope of the situation but they came here to bash the Bruins.

yes and one that I have tremendous respect for. I believe they are the best team at acquiring talent. But they have had a man in Chara who is Godzilla..biggest and strongest..He ragdolled people, and has broken a goon's face. He is the most talented big man in hockey history.. A one time 25 minute guy, who played PK, PP and was on the ice everywhere. It meant, star Bruin players were protected. He was not some fighter on the 4th line that did not see the ice,. Chara was there next to the stars.

It meant protection...

that may be disappearing..as it does, it will expose Bruins stars to this.

McAvoy, Krug, Marchand, Bergeron, Pasternak, even Debrusk are not the biggest of guys.

I agree, they’re all fake tough guys too.

bruins are one of the softest teams in the league now.

as for the hit-shoulder to chest. Should have been some kind of call I would imagine tho

He just consistently sells and milks things like pretty much nobody else in the league. Acts like he's been shot.

Ok, got it. You watch so much of Boston that have determined McAvoy (who is not a diver, far from it) is selling it like "no one else in the league."

Ridiculously off base take.

Almost every player in the league dresses up hits/high sticks/slashes. It has become the norm. Iof anything, Charlie does it a lot less than other players around the league.

This is not true. Maybe on your team.

If anything, Charlie does it a lot less than other players around the league.

This is far from the first time I have seen specifically him do it. I have seen nobody else do it at the same rate, in games I watch or on these boards, and it seems like many would agree with me. It's also not just the frequency in which he does it; he sells it hard. Rolls around, clutches irrelevant parts of his body, acts like a sniper just took him out, like he's going to be injured and miss time, and then he's out a shift later perfectly fine. But if you want to believe he's just a super lucky super unlucky guy, then you do you.

Hockey is in a bad state if we have a four page thread here for what should've been a 2 minute minor at most.

He throws questionable hits. So it's not surprising people do it back to him.

Plus he sells everything

Took an absolute cheap shot on Gaudreau last year. What goes around comes around

Should have been called a 2 minute penalty but nothing more.

Reading through this thread you would think the average age of posters is around 12 years old. The quality of this message board has gone way down in recent years and it’s consistently the same idiots spewing trash.

This hit was deserving of a minor and that’s pretty much it.

 

[lomiller1]

That looks like normal jostling you see every game. If anything I’d lean towards it being a dive, but he could just be off balance or not paying attention to his surroundings. Good no-call IMO.


No doubt Bruins TV commentary team whined about it. They thing any physical play directed against the Bruins, even relatively ordinary plays, deserves a suspension and that whatever the Bruins do is "clean physical play" no matter how dirty. At some point this is going to end up coloring Bruins fans view of events and they come here to complain about a nothing play.

ok so it is your position that McAvoy is THE BIGGEST flopper in the league.

Hey what’s that? Oh wow, it’s your credibility flying out the window.

Buh bye
