Oh Lord... Leafs fans mad because Kronwall tried saving Matthews' life. You can literally see him extend his arm out trying to grab Matthew's back from the brink of going into boards.

That's a dangerous area against Detroit... You go near the boards you WILL eat a Tyler Bertuzzi uppercut!

Every time Matthews is hit legal or not. There will be some sort of reaction until he can prove he is durable enough to play in the NHL without being injured.

People saying "that is not boarding AINEC" are either hard of seeing or don't think boarding is an actual real penalty, because you can very easily make an argument that this hit is boarding, and that's coming from a Wings fan. Nevertheless, two minutes is all it's worth.

But seriously... Who in their right mind would think a suspension comes out of this?

... If Matthews isn't off balance he probably doesn't even fall.

I think the vast majority here agree it was not a dirty play and most definitely not suspension worthy. 2 min pen at most.

Definite interference, but I also think Matthews caught a rut or an edge or something because he kind of got propelled more than what it looked like he should've.

:laugh: :laugh: For a Leaf fan to even post this as dangerous, Doesn't know what dangerous is. That's a clean hit. More interference then boarding.

How can it be a penalty and also a clean hit?

Being a penalty doesn't make it a dirty hit... Kronwall didn't do anything wrong there... Matthews just not a good enough skater to handle NHL dmen.
