Subban punching Aho from behind

[Craig Button]

The game is gettin 'softer...Aho should of made Subban answer the bell for that cheap shot. If he isn't the type to engage, then a team mate should of made him answer the bell or taken note, at least for future meetings.
For those rating Subbans action as 'not so bad' ,let me ask...do you want more of this in the game or less of this in the game? This is the type of thing that leads to escalation of dirty 'tit for tat' 'type play.

Should have

I'm not sure what to make of this one. LOL

Cannot decide if Aho is super weak or if Subban is super strong.

 

[Craig Button]

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!

No need if they just ban idiots like Wilson

 

[powerstuck]

Definitely 10 classless Subban's.

 

[OVO16]

What is wrong with some of yall?

This isnt even thread worthy let alone suspension worthy. Fans are the sole reason as to why this game is getting so soft.

Everyone just complains about every little thing

 

[The Jones Zone]

Looks more like he punches his shoulder/upper chest. A good case for a roughing penalty, not sure it’s suspension worthy. However, it should be noted, Subban is both a cowardly and dirty player at times.

with the emphasis on cowardly

No, I strongly believe inter-tubes is the only answer.

Even watching this play was a giant "meh" from me, 2 for roughing and that's it. 15 years ago guys like Foote and Aaron Ward specialized in this sort of hit.

On the other hand seeing the clips of Subban coming unhinged in the box... now THAT'S pure entertainment value.

Aho's actually pretty solid on his feet. He's not a wide-body type at 5'11" 172, but he's shrugged off harder hits from bigger guys than Subban.

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.

The amazing thing here is that you actually bolded the words "almost" and "type", then got super pedantic about the definition.

You went out of your way to bold the words that completely invalidated your point.

No. Should of.

As in, should of kept steve hartnell

 

[ManWithNoName]

That’s a classic haymaker. He uses all of his strenght to deliver that punch. He even loses his own balance.

That something you would more likely see by a drunkard wannabe fighter in a bar.

Penalty = 2 min
Level of Pejorative Slurness = Maximum

 

[Ezekial]

Standard punch check, full of class.

 

[PK Cronin]

Boychuk does this all the time. It's not intended to be a punch, but a ridiculously strong push to the back or chest. He's essentially using his arm as a club.

 

[Sasso09]

Some fans really want Hockey to be more l like soccer and basketball.

 

[Leafs87]

That looks like a much stronger player pushing a weaker player more than a punch

 

[theVladiator]

First, it's not a punch. There is a windup, but Aho is hit with a forearm, not hand/fist.

Second, roughing penalty (at least in the NHL) is called if the hit is on the head/face. This one went to the chest.

I can't say I am thrilled with this kind of play, but it doesn't look like an NHL penalty to me.

 

[BatVader]

Best way to hit an Aho is from behind!...

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I believe that's called a donkey punch, but why is this type of video allowed ? Isn't Linday made at him ?

Oh...


I see I'm way off.

That's apparently a hit. Subban has done that a bunch.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Funny how the OP disappeared from his own thread after everyone mocked his bleeding heart.

 

[HanSolo]

Roughing and nothing more.

 

[MXD]

#76 Nashville, Two Minutes for Roughing.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Both fans and the game are marshmallow soft these days.

 

[Craig Button]

No, I strongly believe inter-tubes is the only answer.

I think you're right

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

I wish i could like posts, i like this post.

Use this!

 

[Zalos]

Five classy Subbans, imo.
