Hope he recovers. Didn't look dirty though.

 

[Daniel M]

Damn, this is brutal. Puljujarvi is fun to watch.

 

[spacemunky]

Not a dirty hit.

Hope Pool Party is okay.

 

[Penske]

Not good but it didn't look dirty. He doesn't stick the leg out. Was going for the body. Just an unfortunate accident

 

[herestohoping]

Oh okay. I see itso fine to knee on knee players now lol.

 

[Whiston532]

Doesn't look overly malicious but you still need to be a lot more careful than that.

 

[McDavidbowie]

Barclay's ice is cursed. Hamonic, Kassian, Puljujarvi all out.

Not calling it a dirty play but he didn't exactly seem remorseful. No response by the Oilers also..

 

[DJN21]

Not dirty but he made no effort to not do it lol and skated away nonchalant

Not intentional? Sure.

Not dirty? No.

 

[BB88]

That's tough, feel so bad for him. His game has improved so ....ng much in the last 3-4 games and his skating looked sharp tonight. Looked like the rust from knee surgery was starting to be gone and this.........................

Please let him be alright.

 

[nabob]

He only intentionally hit him knee on knee, apparently that's not a dirty play anymore. Does Marchment have multiple accounts here or something?

 

[Space Herpe]

Not dirty.

Looks like Seidenberg is lucky he didn't get hurt.

 

[RipsADrive]

Not dirty.

Looks like Seidenberg is lucky he didn't get hurt.

In what way is that not dirty?

 

[McPuritania]

Not dirty.

Looks like Seidenberg is lucky he didn't get hurt.

Yeah, that sure was a lucky play. Good thing it all worked out in the end.

 

[Randal61]

yeah dirty

 

[Flukeshot]

Seidenberg was just going for a regular hit, Puljujarvi tried to squeeze out of the way and got the trailing knee hit only. No fault on Seids. Just unfortunate.

 

[snipes]

Pulju was just starting to play really well and find his game too. This sucks.

 

[StupidityKills]

This is what happens when players are afraid to take a hit. There's too much jumping out of the way and back turning going on now.

Not saying he was necessarily afraid, but I agree that players just need to take the hit more often. This is a case where if he had just run into Seids worst case is he's on his butt.

No. This is what happens when players stick their knee out trying to hit a guy.

 

[BruinsNeedaRussian]

No. This is what happens when players stick their knee out trying to hit a guy.

His knee does not appear to be extended outside of his frame. Not significantly at least.

At most this is reckless, not dirty. HF needs to get past the idea that every play resulting in an injury is dirty. Sometimes there is simply an unfortunate result from a normal play.

 

[raideralex99]

Too many players are getting injured with knee on knee hit ... time to ban it.
Players should respect other players careers.

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

I don't think it's super dirty but it's not really all that clean either. A penalty is fine.

Sucks for Puljujarvi though

 

[Huokaus]

Watched the replay a dozen times, and as much as I like Pulju, it was kinda on him. He tried to squeak out of the hit in the last second instead of embracing it. I just hope he's okay.
