Sidney Crosby dirty hit on Johnny Boychuk? - MOD WARNING POST #108

[BruinsBtn]

We need better video.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I don't recall Boychuk having much sympathy for Mason Raymond after breaking his back.

 

[Disappointed EP40]

Bad angle to see but if so typical Crosby. Quick to give it out, quick to whine when he receives.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiggght.l

Boychuk is the one whining here like a puke

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Won't somebody please think of the Boychuk?

Crosby took him to the woodshed. Let's humor him and pretend there was something nefarious about it. Poor little guy.

 

[Stuckinthe2ndround*]

where?

Don't defend him.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

I find it a little ironic that Sid went in with shoulder to shoulder contact while Boychuk returned fire, and missed, with 2 hands and a stick towards Sid's head.


Amazing stuff

I mean, he was clearly shaken up by the hit.

Nothing like seeing a good confirmation bias. "I don't know what happened, but I'm going to say of course because it fits what I want to believe"

 

[Joe MacMillan]

Is this a joke?

Thread title should read: "Look at what a beast on his skates Crosby is!"

No kidding. I can't believe we're debating over whether the hit was clean or not. It was a perfectly timed clean body check that allowed Crosby to take Boychuck out of the play momentarily and tap in the game winner because of it.

 

[One Winged Angel]

In real time, it looked like a clean hit.

I'd honestly have to look at it again before making a judgement. Can we get a video on here?

This can't be, because Crosby would have whined about it!

I came here to lose my poop about a dirty hit by Sid. Instead, i get more evidence about how Crosby is the greatest hockey player on planet earth.

 

[Extra Texture]

So Boychuk gets separated from the puck (probably interference but the puck was there to be played so borderline) gets beat to the front of the net by the same player, and then gives him a shot after the goal out of frustration. Cant see any maliciousness, but I can see why he'd be sore about it.

He was clearly shaken up on the hit, but it looked like a routine hit. And it looks like, if he hadnt dropped his stick, he would have beat him to the front of the net.

More important and relevant discussion from this game, pls discuss:

Thank you.

True story, I saw my 1st hockey game ever in Pittsburgh in the early 80's where the Pens played vs the Hawks.

In that game, Al Secord took a flying elbow to the head of a Pens player leading to a bench clearing brawl and the attempt by Secord to enter the stands after a fan who had dumped beer on his head in the Penalty Box.


Needless to say, I was hooked on hockey from that point moving forward!!

 

[uncleben]

really?

clear shoulder-to-shoulder

maybe interference, but certainly not a dirty hit

 

[Frank Drebin]

Gonna have to see a different angle, good play by the kid.

 

[Hank Plank]

Textbook play to create a chance and ultimately a goal. Doesn't get any better.

 

[xxxx]

dirty hit?? what exactly was dirty about it? That he hit him?

 

[AvroArrow]

Sid won't get suspended.

 

[islesfan3913]

Looked fine to me

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I can't believe this lol. Crosby is just a beast. Shoulder-on-shoulder.

 

[Raym11]

guys lets jump to conclusions if we hate Crosby, and use a potato .gif with an angle that makes anything impossible to see to say;


Typical Crosby

 

[pierre gagnon*]

No hit league is the new NHL, cannot beleive Pastrnak got 2 games for the samething basically but shaw got nothing for that hit from behind. Hard to figure out what is allowed nowadays

 

[Shrimper]

That's a clean hit.
The narrative that Boychuck would be suspending if it was the other way round is moronic too
