Kronwall dangerous boarding against Matthews

[Volica]

Surprised Matthews isn't out month to month.

Perhaps it's time to lock the thread then instead of allowing it to continue bashing the OP.

feelings dont count on the internet.

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.

If he committed an infraction then he did do something wrong.

I didn't say it was dirty, but the poster said it was "clean," if it deserves a penalty it's not clean.

That's like saying there's such a thing as a clean high-stick or a clean cross-check.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

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.



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

I mean there wasn't any malicious intention on Kronwalls part, Too hurt Matthews Matthews was going down it was shoulder to shoulder. Nothing more.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Matthews is going to continue to get injured 4-5 times a year if he goes down that easy on hits.

You are the OP! If you don't want to be bashed, show a little restraint and don't start a new thread about every silly little thought you have about the Maple Leafs.

I seen your request, the mods on “this forum” will decide how to proceed.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

That was nothing. If it was someone like Johnsson, this thread wouldn't even exist.

 

[Talonted]

So young with a bum shoulder already and seems to find the hard hits. Doesn't look good.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

He got rubbed out shoulder to shoulder from the top of the trapezoid. Nothing dirty, just unfortunate.

Nothing to see there really. Matthews seems pretty weak for a guy with that frame.

 

[fsanford]

Maybe interference, nothing else.. That wasn't boarding, that was weak on skates..

 

[Echo Roku]

Calling that boarding is really weird. Went into it dangerously, but seems much more on Matthews than the guy who nudged him some

 

[Kingsfan1]

That was definitely not as bad as the title made it seem. It was interference not even boarding . People saying suspension and it was dirty lol your more pathetic than the reaction by Leaf players but hey who thought it would be diff . Lol

 

[Copenhagen91]

5 and game I assume? ****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.

Trollololol

This. Ben Shapiro would DESTROY the average HFboards poster with FACTS and LOGIC

 

[ManWithNoName]

Same hit, completely different reaction from the Leafs fan:

Own player: ”f***ing dirty. Did he try to kill him? They should throw Kronwall out of the league.”
Other teams player: ”Legit hit. Player X is so weak. Keep you head up boy.”

I just love the hypocrisy of most Leafs fans.

I doubt he knows anything about hockey, but if he did, I see your point.

 

[Sugi21]

That dive almost backfired on him!!!!

I don't think it was dirty at all, but a 2 minute penalty is fine. the only important thing is Matthews was okay

 

[weinsink]

Waste of bandwidth here,just wait till the playoffs come to see carnage fly

Maybe don't make threads over a nothing hit then.

How is this even a penalty... I don’t get it. please explain why this is even a 2 minute penalty like some are saying? I don’t get it.

FFS... mods need to start locking this shit up.

Player touches puck stretched out and off balance... simultaneously gets hit by stronger player... from the side... off balance player goes down and falls into the boards... THIS IS A HOCKEY PLAY! Kronwald has hit many other guys harder and more dirty (unsuspecting) as he sneaks up the boards and hits guys before the puck even gets there. ... and he rarely gets penalized.

By the way, I really like Matthews and don’t care for Kronwald in the least.
