Subban punching Aho from behind

[Eisen]

I chime in and say 2 minutes roughing. Still don't get that in a pre-season game. Does he need to fight for his roster spot?

 

[hector morrison]

It's a bit of a weird move tbh, I don't think many players use that, but I've seen Subban do this "punch hit" a couple of times (notoriously against McKinnon). I guess it's easily a roughing if he swings it hard enough. Bit of a jerk move (I could see some tougher players getting upset about it) but not suspension worthy obviously.

I haven't seen him do this before I don't see him play much,,but I wonder if he does it to players who are likely to drop the gloves.I somehow doubt it!

Stiff arms don’t involve a wind up

Excuse to post this

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

That's called manhandling not a punch. Zero classless Subbans.

Still no wind up. Just follow through when throwing him down

Yeah but the point is look at that

 

[dkhockey]

so it's okay to punch other players as long it's not in the head?

No, it's called roughing and there is a 2 minute penalty for it.

If anyone is still in search of a name for their fantasy team this year... the title is a pretty good one.

right, but since you can injure a player doing this, shouldn't there be a 5 min penalty for this violent punch.... just poking someone with your stick usually get you 5 mins. this punch should give the bastardo subban 5 mins

 

[Em etah Eh]

That doesn't look like some little corner back he's tossing aside either.

The Subban play was a Barrett Jackman Special. Two minutes for roughing is fine.

No. If its violent enough to need a major then give a fighting penalty. Roughing is a minor penalty.

I appear to be missing how it’s relevant then

Jesus Christ, this place.

Look at it

 

[Paperbagofglory]

That's only 0.5 classless Subban's at best.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but a punch from a gloved hand to the chest piece of the shoulder pads will cause approximately no pain to anyone.

Are people really saying this is anything more than maybe 2mins?

 

[Buffalo Preds]

Look at Aho's right leg in that replay. It's almost a slewfoot type move where Subban's knee is behind Aho's, leaving Aho with only one skate in contact with the ice as he's being pushed backward. No matter how big you are, that's an uncontrolled topple.

Lmao. "Slewfoot" actually means something. It's a contact sport and skaters approach each other from any angle but slewfooting specifically means dragging or kicking out an opponent's skate or leg from behind. That doesn't even come close to happening in this instance. It's good to see that some hfboards posters still haven't learned what "slewfooting" actually is and use it for any contact they don't like.

[Echo Roku]

Look at it

I did

Still nothing indicating relevancy

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Always was a dirty player, nothing new here

 

[King'sPawn]

It seems a two minute roughing minor was appropriate.

 

[Negan4Coach]

I'll have to get a seat right behind the penalty box next time the Preds are in town so I can fire a beer on his head.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Canes fan saying 2 min penalty is what that was worth, it was far less egregious than many of his other plays in that game, such as the kneeing on Turbo, several other punches to the face, and i'm pretty sure he was the Pred that got away with boarding 9 seconds into the game.

 

[Shagged Yer Nan]

Life long ban. Wreckless. Brutal. Out of control.

I suggest the NHL removes hitting and make it mandatory for all players to skate with a giant inner-tube around them to reduce the risk of injury during inadvertent collisions!

 

[Copenhagen91]

It's similar to this hit, but Subban was at a different angle.

Not sure if joking errrrr....
