Nick Ritchie knocks out Rozsival (suspended 2 games)

[robbieboy3686]

That's the kind of hockey he has to play , he got demoted this game and Corey Perry took a cheap cross check and Nick Ritchie knocked Rozsival out(literally). Don't f with the ducks league, RC hockey.

Watched the video a couple times. Don't see the problem? He dropped Perry and Ritchie went at him square on, he had plenty of time to get ready to fight. Wasn't a sucker punch.

Tootoo's 3rd man in is worse IMO

I agree, I don't think it's a big deal.

Somewhat related, I love Ritchie. I hope he takes another step forward next year.

I mean, this is basically identical to the Haley-Jarnkrok incident. Haley was suspended 1 game, so Ritchie will probably get a game, too.

That is, assuming that the DOPS actually has some semblance of consistency in their verdicts...

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I assume hell get a game maybe 2 for it but def worth i in the league and hfboar standards

I think the ducks have given up on league protecting its players , and taking it into their own hands, good for them.. guessing a lot of this has to be a bit of fall out from nothing coming from the gio hit

 

[JuniorNelson]

What was that? I've never seen the Canucks do anything like that!

 

[Frank Garrett]

Ducks fly together.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

still do not understand why ritchie got the ole heave hoe

dept. of player safety be like: "okay guise..... fightning is okay, but pls do not hurt no one alrgiht? okay i gotta go now. someone has a bridge they want to sell me"

 

[PCDiesel]

There is no place in the game for cheap shots to the head.

 

[Sens With Benefits]

I don't know why anyone would mess with the Ducks. Fulton and Portman are next level enforcers.

 

[Bileur]

Lol. The punch was way cheaper than the run of the mill crosscheck.

 

[Beautvillier]

probably worth it

 

[sparxx87]

Is this different then what Michael Haley did two weeks ago?

 

[Willy Stylez]

Gonna get 1 game.

 

[Unspecified]

Perry is a dirty player and deserves pretty much everything he gets.

Love it from Ritchie!

That was a cheap play by Rozsival, maybe he thinks twice before drilling someone in the back with a cheap crosscheck again.

I have no problem with Ritchie sticking up for his teammate like that. If Rozsival doesn't want to drop his miss than he needs to keep his stick to himself and not drill one of the Ducks top players in the back with a wicked cross check.

What a wuss Rozsival is, he delivers that cross check then tries to run away :snakehead OWNED

 

[HydroF]

Well that is at least a one game suspension.

Oh the horror. Not as if Perry doesn't do something similar 4-5 times a game.

Ritchie should sit 3-4 games for that one. How can you just start throwing when a guy is standing there?

I agree, but this doesnt qualify.

You cross check a star and a teamate comes at you face to face clearly displaying his intentions, if you don't protect yourself, you gets what coming to you.

two choices 1) don't waffle perry in the back or 2) if you do the notion that keeping your gloves on will please the protection fairy and that you can bask in her bubble of protection is a very very poor decision

Who da fook is that guy?

Michal Rozsíval is a czech defenseman, who plays for the Blackhawks.

Basically, no. I think the optics are a little better because he was standing up for a teammate, rather than getting payback himself, but it's not a significant difference. As a Ducks fan, I didn't like it when Haley did it, and I didn't like it from Ritchie.

With the Haley benchmark, there is no justification for 3-4 games.

 

[Paranoid Android]

The overreactions from routine hits are getting out of hand. You can't just start throwing punches over a 2 minute minor cross check.
