Looked fine to me.

Still hope the Boss ****s him up

He jumps into it. It's not as bad as the Visnovsky hit, but it's the same kind of play.

Sometimes we need to adjust our standards about what's "dirty" when a kind of hit reliably causes concussions. This is not an open ice situation where a player "puts his head down". You simply cannot play the puck there without looking at it. The player was doing their job. It's not reasonable to have a game where playing the *right* way is likely to result in a concussion.

I defended this hit on the main forum and I'll defend it here, this is just a good big body play
Yeah, except his feet left the ground and elbow came up. Other than that, the hit was clean. Meaning, it wasn't clean.

It amazes me how a 6'4 guy always seems to need to leave his feet on a hit. You're right it's not the worse in the pantheon of Wilson's dirty hits but still not clean. I hope one day his balls descend and he accepts the challenge from Ross, but I dont think hes that stupid

I'll actually be in Prague on the New Year, but it's a guided tour so I won't have any time to try to see the events. Actually going to make it hard to be there knowing I can't go to any games, lol.

So jealous, I can’t wait to plan a trip there!

4 countries in 7 days: Germany, Austria, Hungary and Czech. I'm pretty stoked. My first real vacation traveling like this. It's a guided tour thing with an itinerary but I guarantee if I had planned on my own I would have tried to catch a game. Maybe I'll get lucky and see someone around the city and get a pic, lol. Have to peruse some Wahlstrom mugshots so I can recognize him, lol!

The games aren’t in Prague anyhow. Let me know if you need any restaurant recommendations or anything...
