Konecny cheapshot on McAvoy

[4thTierSport]

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

What goes around comes around.

 

[OKR]

Meh, to me it looks like McAvoy skates so close to Konecny that he expects McAvoy is gonna give him a push and tries to hit him back but McAvoy isn’t expecting it and it caughts him so off-guard he buckles under the hit and gets chipped to the head as well but the contact was primarily chest, 2 min penalty since it was after the whistle would have been correct call imo.

All konecny did was stop. Not his fault mcavoy didnt watch where he was going.

 

[egelband]

McAvoy is indeed eating a ton of dirt ball hits. How long can he last ?

this comment ia why this site needa a thumbs down button.

I don’t want to go as far as a thumbs down button. But I feel you, as the kids say.

That is a minor penalty if the refs decide to call the game tight that night.

 

[eco's bones]

He obviously got hit in the head. He was quite out of it on the bench.

This was pointless, dirty, and was rewarded by a PP. Not a great look when they suspend Kassian to feign prioritization on player safety and here a headshot unrelated to play leads to a PP.

Maybe this one is a little worse but it kind of reminds me of Patrice Bergeron's hit on Mika Zibanejad earlier this season.

Classic flyers

In today's NHL; we could use some classic Flyers.

 

[Esq]

Meh. This is one when you take his number and run him the next shift.

 

[Dekes For Days]

No one will take him seriously until he whips that 5v5 cheap shots/60 stat out of his bag.

Why don't we just use "points" to determine who cheapshots the most? I mean, who cares about accuracy, right?

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Nothing wrong with that play. Nothing more than get out of my space.

I think it's because he's a dirtbag out there. Classic "Harvard Boy" attitude, and the ego to match. Reminds me of a frat boy.

I enjoy watching someone push back on him. He dropped like a sniper took him out from the rafters, what a joke.

That was like hitting someone on an icing
Cheap and not needed. Then the B’s get a penalty retaliating
Great job nhl

This is delightful coming from a B's fan.

I mean this isn’t thread worthy but come on Konecny knew exactly what he was doing there and was clearly on purpose.

 

[Starat327]

How is this even a topic? I'm certainly no rock'em sock'em hockey guy, but this is unquestionably soft. I expected better from a team who was content to let their player with his gloves on rabbit punch someone who had no interest in fighting.

 

[StumpyTown]

The way Konecny turns his head right before the shoulder makes me wonder if McAvoy said something that Konecny then retaliated to. That doesn't make a hit after the whistle ok, but that narrative could fit the situation. We don't get a ton of coverage of the Bruins out west, but would anyone know if McAvoy is a chirper on the ice? If so it could be one of the reasons he takes so many late and dirty hits.

3 pages in and no video? Can't have been that bad then.

It's in the first post, not that bad. Kind of Marchand-lite. Which is a good description of a young TK. As a Flyers fan, that makes me happy.

I'm a big Konecny fan and I agree 100 with this.

Cause he’s dirty and dives like crazy.

Ah my work has blocked it.

Times are changing in Boston guys. Chara is aging, Chara is dealing with a damaged jaw and Chara may no longer be the most feared man in the NHL..It is going to make McAvoy, Krug and Marchand open to this stuff.

the Bruins have had the ultimate body guard for 14 years now. That may be coming to an end.

They’re the top team in the league lmao

 

[Dingle]

They’re the top team in the league lmao

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.

 

[DickSmehlik]

Hockey can be a physical sport...who knew?

McAvoy or one of his teammates could have shoved or fought Konecny and we all could move on with our lives.

 

[HogTown06]

If that was McAvoy hitting Konecky it would be nothing but since it's the other way around it get 2 minutes and its own thread on the main boards...

Exactly. It was a pretty chippy game all night but there were only 4 powerplays total (2 for each team). Lots of stuff after the whistle, some big hits, and a ton of chirping. It was an extremely entertaining game from start to finish but of course that always leads to some kind of controversy from the HF dorks who didn't actually watch the game so they don't understand the context and flow of the game.
