Kronwall dangerous boarding against Matthews

[leafsfan5]

That’s 2 minutes

And an embarsssing reaction by the leafs

This, that's your franchise player holy f***

 

[La Masse]

Its a boarding no doubt

 

[7even]

Obviously a penalty but Matthews asked for it by reaching for that puck.

Nothing to see here.

It's just another point in the decade long discussion about whether players should hold up when another player is in a vulnerable position. Agreed nothing to see.

 

[TheNumber4]

Rewatched. Not even a penalty. Leafs are lucky if they got one.

 

[Deedog99]

EEEEEESH! Is that the shoulder that was just injured?

Both have been

 

[Future GOAT]

The shocking part of this is that Matthews somehow managed to not get injured on that play. Incredible.

 

[Riellyfan04]

The league shouldnt do anything. Hell our players effing soft as shit! Cant stand up for their best player. This team needs someone who can drop the gloves when this kinda shit happens...

 

[OregonCanuck]

Anyone stand up for him?

 

[34]

Did he play after?

Out there the next shift. Did not miss a beat.

No you didn’t.
If you did, then you clearly don’t know what interference is.

But Kadri is such a toughey

 

[Crede777]

That's an interference and a superman into the boards.

 

[TheNumber4]

No you didn’t.
If you did, then you clearly don’t know what interference is.

Matthews touched the puck. You can hit players who touch the puck, many players get away with interference with players a foot away from touching the puck.

Sad Leaf tears in this thread.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

5 and game I assume? f***ing dirty ass hit on a player who deosn't even have the puck. If he's injured I could easily see a few game suspension.

edit - sad to see so many biased leaf haters commenting in here. If it was their star player they would be up in arms, sigh.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Remind me how you feel next time a player interferes with your superstar and sends him face first into the boards.

 

[flamesforcup]

Anyone stand up for him?

Rielly skated up to him like he was gonna do something but just pushed him and dipped.

 

[MrThomas]

Mathews looks like he is filming and trying to get penalty oh man thats embarrassing

 

[Paradoc]

Play was clean. But agreed that it was dangerous because a player like Matthews' is known to be injury prone.

Hahaha. Really like the way you sneaked that in there. Address the play and give a backhand comment, wow.

 

[57special]

God no. Not even interference. I saw nothing malicious at all. We all know how Kronwall can hit when he wishes to...that was incidental.
Mathews went over so easily because he put himself in a position where his balance was poor.

You mean remind me when someone doesn’t interfere with my superstar and he goes flailing into the boards cause he’s not strong?

 

[TheNumber4]

Hahaha. Really like the way you sneaked that in there. Address the play and give a backhand comment, wow.

Relevant facts were stated. Can’t not mention Matthews propensity for shoulder injuries when his shoulder goes flying into the boards because of a legal bodycheck.

 

[Beukeboom]

Anyone stand up for him?

No Toronto is the softest team of all times. Who's going to do it? Par Johansson? Marner?

Just run them over in the play offs with heavy Ds and they'll be gone.

 

[Not Sure]

Hit hard by Trouba out for a month, takes a header into the boards and hes om the ice for the PP. I guess that decides it, Trouba is stronger then the boards.

 

[Martinez]

This thread is going as well as expected

 

[smack66]

feel the need to be in before this one gets locked. 2 minute penalty that will go nowhere
