2min penalty for roughing --if you want a suspension for this then you need to stop watching hockey asap, this is not the sport for you.

Subban is 220pds of fake tough guy, so this should surprise nobody that he snuck up behind Aho (who didn't have the puck) and punched him.

Aaron Ward used to be the king of the punch/check --except he would do if from the front.

I'm fine that. He is coming from blind angle so atleast he didnt make a hit, maybe a roughing penalty.

I would agree with this except for the fact that he actually appears to have just touched the puck and it was on the boards right in front of him. But you are right, this is like a forearm that Aaron Ward used to employ.

It was just a peculiar way to deliver a check, he did not aim for or hit Aho's chin.

It is kinda like a WWE style clothesline, is there a penalty for that?

Make my day.
Cheap shot to ribs for sure. I can't think of any suspensions for that sort of play though off the top of my head.

Lol at cheapshot and suspension worthy lol. Holy crap has hf been turned into triggered woke millenials that get offended by anything? Since when did a shove to the chest equate to a suspension. How is it worse than a body check? my god. What a joke that this is a thread. As a hab subban has literally done this same type of check dozens of times without any penalty.

The start of the clip made me go "Oh shit, here comes the suckerpunch" but then Subban just hits/pushes Aho to the midsection and takes him down.

Absolute maximun for this is 2 minutes for roughing.

That looks like he threw his forearm into the guy who had the puck in an attempt to separate the player from the puck. I'm not sure there is any penalty there at all.

FWIW, this is pretty much the textbook definition of a roughing penalty.


Rule 51 - Roughing
51.1 Roughing – Roughing is a punching motion with the hand or fist, with or without the glove on the hand, normally directed at the head or face of an opponent.
Roughing is a minor altercation that is not worthy of a major penalty to either participant. (An altercation is a situation involving two players with at least one to be penalized).
51.2 Minor Penalty - A minor penalty shall be imposed on a player who strikes an opponent with his hand or fist.

"ROUGHING? In my day, players used to beat fans with their own shoes while smoking a pack of cigarettes and getting pucks fired at their helmetless heads! You kids are too soft, go watch figure skating!"

Alright Grandpa, the game has changed and according to the rules, that's a roughing penalty and they made the right call. Don't spike your blood pressure over it.
