McCabe hit from behind on ZAR

[M2Beezy]

Should have watched it, you mean.

And you just completely ignored my break down of your hot take— are you still calling it a head shot? Then you don’t know what a head shot is. Hit from behind? Then.. we’ll, you get the point.

And I did watch it. Several times. I’m also assuming you’re watching the Pens feed if you’re putting any weight into what the “announcers” keep saying about it.

Edit- read everyone else’s replies about your ridiculous take

Just did read it. Yeah your probably right, sorry for not responding to your post correctly, I def overreacted

 

[sincerity0]

Penalty? Yeah. McCabe tried to ease up + turn away. He's not getting suspended for that and the Pens pxp overplayed it tremendously.

 

[LongWayDown37]

Yeah maybe your right, maybe I did, I read thru the thread and pretty much everyone has said I overreacted. Perhaps I did, I thought it looked much worse at first. I admit I was wrong

I think you were following the ridiculous Pitt announcers.

 

[Panthaz89]

Ugh its just a boarding he came from a short distance to hit him in the boards...like any other boarding.

 

[The Macho King]

Can't turn into the boards like that safely. He was in a crappy spot there but that's on ZAR IMO. 2 minutes is the right call.

 

[Shakey Rustie]

Am I considered old if I had no idea as to whom ZAR referred to?

 

[Clatartar]

As a diehard pens fan and a zar fanboy... very very incidental. That was on zar for turning (not having seen McCabe). No suspension needed. Just a penalty.

 

[Foppberg]

Don't turn into the boards dummy.

So many players do it thinking it makes them invulnerable but really it just puts them in a horrible position.

LOL

 

[Il Stugotz]

2 minutes imo
Not enough force to be a major and didnt see numbers until the very end
McCabe also doesn’t follow through “through” the boards if that makes sense

 

[llamateizer]

He turned last second.

 

[Babooch]

Isn't that the same fellow who hits players in the head with his own head?

 

[Paris in Flames]

Dude was fully committed to what would have been a clean hit when the guy turned. Hope he's okay but nothing overtly dirty here.

 

[JoVel]

Yeah as mentioned a hundred times already, maybe not turn your back when you're about to get hit.

 

[ElLeetch]

bad idea by a guy with a bad set of initials.

 

[nickdawg95]

zar turned last second not really mcabes fault

 

[mouser]

You should of watched it then. Even the announcers kept going on about how bad it was. Missed call, should have been 5, and we will see how the league deals with this dirty cheap shot

Announcers are rarely the most objective people.

The Pittsburgh announcers? Shocking.

 

[ZZamboni]

Ok that kinda settles it ... appropriate penalty for the hit. Nothing malicious. Nothing thread worthy

Only once, but it was epic.

Bravo. We don't see nearly enough of that here - or anywhere in life these days. Own it and move on.

 

[Thread The Needle]

There is no Dana, only ZAR.

Underrated comment!

 

[TMLeafs17]

Never forget.

Holy ****

 

[Machinehead]

This always seems to happen to Anton-Reese. Poor bastard.

 

[OVrocks]

Clean hit, no penalty.
