Dirty hit, im pist that someone hasnt taken irwins head off yet

 

[TheBluePenguin]

Ouch thats freaking dirty, that wasn't called? Someone should be fired for that not getting called. He doesn't get ANY part of the body

Nope, no penalty

Can't even get a penalty for that, but a love tap to the hands sure gets one.

 

[Canada Drai]

He didn't knee'd to do that.

Looks like a Marchment special there.

You gotta massage the Kalle before putting the dressing

gross play....we will see how DoPS feels about protecting players....anyone who has played knows that those knee on knee hits are just as dangerous as the head hits... sometimes knee on knee hits are a accident (doesnt happen often), and this isnt one of them...Irwin should get a call, and they refs should be given a game or two for that "miss".

Kossila came back, doubt dops looks at it

Disgusting play, its not even like he changed direction on him.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

definitely should have been a penalty even if it wasn't intentional.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Unfortunate result but not a bad hit.

Irwin was leading with the shoulder and the forward side stepped and contorted his body to avoid the shoulder and ran into into the knee.

Should’ve been a penalty and as a predators fan I will gladly sacrifice Irwin at the alter of the department of player safety

No. That knee is leading and Irwin makes no reasonable attempt to secure shoulder contact.

I thought Kane's last night was worse.

Does irwin skate with dustin brown during the summer?

Watching him skate, I’m going to go with no, I doubt he skates during the summer period. He’s terrible.

 

[Kale Hulls]

Yikes.

Doesn't look intentional. He takes a wide stance and looks like he is going for shoulder to shoulder. He pulled up and tucked his arm, it seems pretty clear that is the hit he intends on. He misses / Kossila slips around it and it unfortunately ends up knee on knee.

That was what I saw as well and would have had no issue with him being penalized for it. Glad to see Kossila was back out and looking no worse for wear.
