Glad Stastny was not injured.

I don't like the hit.

I think we're lucky it was 2 min and not 5 min.

Not a suspendable play but not something I want to see Joshua doing.

Okay, well at least they bumped it down to a minor.

It was definitely a dangerous hit that he probably shouldn't have followed through like that. But it's so friggen annoying when guys just turn their back and duck away from a forecheck like that. It's such a dangerous chickenshit way of playing hockey. It's like, "na na na na boo boo you can't hit me".

This is my issue with calling penalties on hits like that. On the one hand, I don't think it's an inherently bad call, but it's obvious players are abusing it.

Love how buddy had his back turned the entire play. trying to make it so you cant hit him.
Eh it's like when guys skating up the neutral zone with their head down... it's a fast game and sometimes guys can't protect themselves while making plays. No one wants to deliberately risk getting their brains into mush.

At the risk of getting seriously injured.

It's like the whole "I have the right of way so if you hit me, it's your fault."

Yeah, but then you got into a freaking car accident. Is that a risk you want to take?
