Subban head contact on MacKinnon

[TeeTee]

Dirty

 

[Riddum]

Hit to the back

 

[Paris in Flames]

Uhhhh I'm not even convinced he hit him in the head. Contact seems to be near the nameplate and then he throws him to the ice.

If I see it correctly that's not even a penalty. If he got the head and I missed it..well...2 minutes.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Looks like he connected with the shoulder area and got a little bit of head at the end of it.

I don't buy that warrants anything extra.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Meh...I guess it's somewhat dirty. Not really thread-worthy though.

 

[SprDaVE]

No injury means no suspension or penalty. That's how it works apparently.

 

[Avelanche]

3 games and a forfeit loss. It’s now 2-2.

 

[PuckSeparator]

that's 10 out of 10 classless Subbans

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Sucker punch to the back of the head.

It won't be a suspension, but it absolutely should be. A punch to the back of the head - which is precisely what this was - does not belong in the game. The day the NHL gets serious about head injuries this stuff will start getting suspensions.

the day the nhl gets " serious" about head injuries, we play like the ladies no contact. that's what you want ?
This was a 2 minute minor at most.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I like to say suspend him, but he might get a fine for this.

 

[wadesworld]

I'll be the first to admit that Subban takes his opportunities to get his shots in.

However, I'm rolling on the floor at you guys saying this is a "sucker punch to the back of the head."

It's a forearm into MacKinnon's shoulder that slid up and slightly made contact with the back of his head on the follow through.

Did it deserve a penalty? Absolutely. Is it suspension worthy? Not even close.

 

[Sheppy]

Would have gave him 2 for roughing. Not everything needs a suspension, you know.

 

[Babooch]

2 minute minor for roughing and a public statement that Subban is overrated.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

Subban gets away with way too much of this. Every time I watch a Predators game it seems like they get the most favorable refereeing in the entire league, but it's actually just Subban getting away with that much.

i am pretty sure we were the most penalized team in the regular season as far as times short handed.

Didn't see a thread:




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

Looks like he punches the top part of his back. No suspension.

 

[Hornstar]

Not a big deal. That little forearm shivvy is a standard hockey move and doesn’t hurt anyone when it’s applied to the shoulder the way it was here.

I've quite enjoyed this thread but Out of everything I've read in this thread, this is by far the stupidest thing yet. By far!!!

Hes playing with fire there though. What the heck would the league do if that is an inch or two different a Mac drops like a sack of potatoes.

 

[Channelcat]

Based on what we've seen, that's easily a suspendable offense.

There’s always room to take it to the next level.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

MacKinnon should have taken a page out of the Preds' playbook and dramatically fallen to the ice clutching the back of his head and writhing around, then maybe the refs would have made a better call. Maybe.

 

[saxonmiller]

Should get a game at least. Playoffs or not, its a reckless play with intent to injure.

Gotta think they look at that.
Sucker punching someone from the back/side is really dangerous.

 

[E82]

So many new hockey fans here it seems. Subban's been doing that one handed punch/knock down move since he entered the league. He actually does it EVERY game. There hasn't been a game, regular season or not that he wont try that move. He usually aims for the chest/shoulders and this time it slipped from the shoulders to clipped the head but it was not a direct punch to the head. He's actually never been called for it. I believe thats the first time. No suspension but maybe they'll call more penalties on him for that these playoffs.

 

[SenzZen]

He hits him with the forearm, people.

In the shoulder.

Or do you punch without extending your arm?
