Subban head contact on MacKinnon

[PunkRockLocke]

Everyone please stop looking for suspensions on every shift of every game. Hockey is a physical, and dirty (yes dirty) game.

Subban didn't try to play the puck or look at it, draws the arm back glides in then swings.

 

[Foppberg]

I didn't think it was that bad, in the playoffs PK goes all out in the 'piss off their best player as much as possible' mode.

Even our captain Landy said he didn't think it was that bad, just playoff hockey.

A sucker punch to the head is disgustingly dangerous and as dangerous as what Kadri did. It reminded me of what Trevor Gillies did to Eric Tangradi 7 years ago.

And to all those who say that is just “playoff” hockey, sorry, but I like my playoff hockey with superstars who’s brains aren’t damaged by idiots who can’t keep up with them.

That'll teach Mackinnon not to get punched in the head unsuspectedly ever again

Darn rookies gotta earn their stripes !!

If you get rid of the victims you get rid of crime. Repeat victims like Mackinnon need to be drummed out of the sport.

That's the kind of **** that enforcers kept out of the game, Subban should have been looking over his shoulder for the rest of the game.

That's the kind of shit that gets imagined happened in the good old days.

 

[me2]

Need a better angle to see how much contact was head vs shoulder. Forearm vs punch. Without a clearer angle there isn't anything to see.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Sure MR scientist. If this is suspendable, then every netfront scrum should warrant 3-4 suspensions every playoff game.

Find it laughable how some are treating this as something that's not black and white and speculating with HOW he hit McKinnon. A punch was thrown out of actual play. That's all. A bad call by the refs to give McKinnon a penalty on the play but that's literally all there is to it.

Well Crosby bashed Subban's head to the ice when out of play last Finals and nothing came of it. Care to look that up and be ready to declare that Crosby doesn't keep up with Subban?

LOL with the comparison to Kadri. Just imagine seeing this play along with Kadris and imagining that A. Both are equally dangerous B. Both should be equally punished

Kadri got playoff discount for his 'fall'.

 

[Kale Hulls]

Give him a game.

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

Domi ended Ulf Samuelsson's career with a punch to the back of the head. It's very dangerous, there's a reason it's not allowed in boxing.

Thankfully PK couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag so any punch he throws is essentially harmless.

[MOD] Dirty and unnecessary blow to the head on one of the best players in the league.

 

[BrokerD]

Doughty, Marchand, Subban, Mcavoy, Hedman, Perry.... good lord, the NHL Department of Players Safety may be burning the midnight oil.

Last year, the DOPS had only two standout situations (Calvert/Kuhnackl, Draisaitl spear). This year....... yeesh.

Add Foligno to that list. Myers is out because of that F-tard

 

[dkhockey]

Didn't see a thread:




I'm thinking nothing will come of this but it will probably be looked at

Hate that dirty subban.... nashville are dirty as F ..

wish they and the kings could meet [MOD]

 

[Goodbahd]

Shoulda been a penalty but let’s chill with the suspension talk.

Crosby literally grabbed Subban’s head & dribbled it off the ice & didn’t get a penalty.

Subban was asking for it. Crosby had every right and more.

Yeah, cranking on someone's knee provoking that response is like, totally cool though.

Subban has a history of being a dirty piece of crap, that's not just opinion, it's fact. He's continued to do it and like Marchand, sometimes he skates away with doing something dirty and dumb. He was up to his old tricks again, it's a joke that nothing will be done.

But better be prepared when the same happens to a Predator, don't come saying it should be a suspension if you thought this one wasn't.

Contact or not there was unquestionably 100% intent.

 

[meefer]

If the league is serious about protecting players' heads, this has to be reviewed.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Intentional hits to the back of the head on an unsuspecting player do not belong in the game. Ever. What’s the point of it except an intent to injure?

Must be a suspension

 

[Goodbahd]

Subban could’ve whacked MacKinnon in the head with his stick and he still wouldn’t get a suspension. [MOD]

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Quite the wind-up there for one of the cheapest players in the league... that has always been afraid to back it up despite being 220pds.

Considering:
Sucker punch
From behind
Huge wind-up
History of cheap crap
Doughty suspension

I think he might be looking at a game here but I hate how soft we are getting.

 

[MR4]

dirty but not suspension worthy ot anything like that. it's the playoffs.

This whole 'it's the playoffs' trope is f***ing stupid. Yea, let's turn up the risk of people getting injured potentially career-ending just so it can be more physical.

No other league turns off its rules for the playoffs.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Subban is a great guy off the ice but he can be a real asshole on the ice. I wouldn't be opposed to a suspension

 

[JetsFan815]

He should be suspended for 3 games. The dude is garbage on ice.

 

[mooncalf]

Lol at the idea that this is suspendable, rooting for Avs big time in this series too
