Mika Zibanejad Vicious Slewfoot On Palmieri

[The Grim Reaper]

Worth a look by Player Safety for sure. What a vicious attempt to injure.

OP raptured.

Why do people insist on making threads about specific plays and expect everyone to just take their word for it? Post a video with your claim.

Journalism these days, I swear.

 

[Jauffre]

Still no video? Did this happen or not? Mods should take threads like this down when there's nothing to watch, evaluate, and make a determination

I saw it. My eyes. My eyes! Don’t watch. It’s dangerous. Much violence, take this.

 

[Shark Finn]

My mind's eye is telling me to lose my sleep over this.

Zibanejad’s problem is he’s never done anything vicious in his life. Ovy knocked out a rookie, Crosby hacked the tip of a guy’s finger off, Kucherov and Malkin swing the stick a lot. You wanna win in hockey and life? Ya need to be a little vicious. Zib probably has a “My Little Pony” collection.

Surprised the Ranger fans can even take the time to participate in this thread. Would have thought they’d be off worshipping at the altar of Rempe, the patron saint of plugs and clownshows.

Shrodinger's Slewfoot.

 

[Oddbob]

I watched the OP's video 46 times, and it is CLEAR as DAY that something happened!

Who the f*** is Palmieri?

Who the f*** is Palmieri?

Kyle Palmieri - 814 games played

 

[Faceboner]

You should be the op this op sucks and should be fired

Kyle Palmieri - 814 games played

With 27 goals this year at the geriatric age of 33

It's true that the Islanders only really played 1 good period. And it's also true that 'game management' or whatever the refs call it/justify it to themselves contributed to that momentum shift. It wasn't just this missed call. There were holdings, missed stick holds, interference, and a phantom penalty call on Mike Reilly because the refs were looking to call the game tightly on the team with the 3 goal lead, not because of any particular bias against one team.

Considering that 'game management' is par for the course in the playoffs, this means that the Islanders aren't good enough to win a series. Because all teams face much of the same.

Karma came in the form of a newly discovered body part, the shoulder elbow.

 

[crasherino]

Of all the alleged slew foot’s I’ve seen, this one was definitely the most recent.

Goodrow’s reaction to his slashing penalty was all I needed to see. Guy hacks at Matt Martin’s stick, breaks his own and gets called on the textbook slash then flips out on the ref like did nothing wrong.
The game management thing is a joke. Isles were up by 3 after the first so they did what they could to balance it out, reminds me a lot of the Stadium Series where they kept looking for things to call until the score was tied.

And the game management stuff is the *same* reason the Dobson board on Trouchek wasn't called. It's all of a piece. It sucks.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Lmao at the “slewfoot”. If you watched the entire play Palmari was complaining that Mika swung his stick recklessly which hit in the face as he was falling down. As you can clearly see from the video.

Never change homer Butch.

 

[Fatass]

That’s it? There’s no slew foot in this. Is there another one?

The game management stuff is a joke. Watch what happens Saturday, they call 3-4 early penalties on nonsense early on and then swallow the whistles depending on the score. You know one of them will be a rough from a shoving match post puck cover up by the goalie.

 

[Number8]

With the word "vicious" in the title and the long delay for a video clip I admit the tension was mounting. I was waiting for the mother of all slew foots.

Sadly, I find myself disappointed. Not the sure what happened to Palimieri's legs there, but it wasn't even a gentle slew foot.

 

[TGWL]

That's not even close to a slewfoot. That's a player trying to get around unintentional interference, but wasn't fully in control of his stick.

 

[ToDavid]

Lmao that’s the slewfoot everyone’s upset about?
