Vid or link, anybody?

Vid or link, anybody?

Yeah, sorry.

 

[Dominance]

Yeah, sorry.

No problem, I just really wanted to see what happened.

Edit: Ugh, that looks bad with the way he twists as he falls. I don’t think anybody can suggest that Konecny had any malevolent intent there, though. Hopefully we’ll be able to see multiple angles soon and there isn’t any serious injury.

 

[GirouxCouturier]

Yeah that was a pretty malicious stick lift

 

[Juicy Pop]

Is there another angle? I'm having a hard time even seeing the contact clearly.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like he expected to collide with Konecny and when he held up he was simply off balance and couldn't stop.

You aren't missing anything.

I feel like this wasn't intentional by Konecny. Hope DeMelo doesn't miss a lot of games.

 

[izzy]

thats unfortunate but it happens

 

[Warden of the North]

I cant even tell what happened. Did he even touch him?

 

[Iceman]

Unfortunate

It was just an opening night, but we already have 2 threads about "Flyers brutality" on the main HF board. No start of the season rust for the HF boarders

I mean that looks like a hook, but I do not think that was dirty, it looks unfortunate

 

[MMC]

Just to make things cleae, I didn't make this thread trying to say Konecny made a dirty play, I made it for the possible injury.

 

[Unspecified]

Looks like he lost an edge more so than anything else.

 

[SenzZen]

2 minutes for hooking ought to cover it.

Hopefully nothing serious happened to DeMelo.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Looks like he lost an edge more so than anything else.

Agreed

I think DeMelo was ok with two minutes "skating into the boards". No further supplemental discipline needed. Spatial awareness is a good thing.

I know that sounds a bit insensitive but holy hell, what was he doing?

DeMelo trips DeMelo into the boards

Why is Konecny included here? What next?

"Man has heart attack days after walking past IVAN PROVOROV"

 

[EON]

I honestly can't even tell if Konecny touched him in that video, maybe a slight hook across the hands?

Unfortunate if DeMelo is seriously injured though.

 

[Winston Wolf]

DeMelo was back out on the ice two minutes later anyways, so he's not even injured.

Maybe pick a different thread title, like "DeMelo Injured Falling Into The Boards" and leave out the whole Konecny tripping thing then?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

2 minutes for the trip.
Unfortunate DeMelo fell awkward Hope the kid is ok.

Yeah you're right. Considering he came back I suppose we can just lock up this thread.
