That was quick

doesnt seem intentional but he hits the head. hopefully not a long suspension.

 

[wetcoast]

That's a game at least.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

It’s maybe a game. Not intentional but got his head. Barely any contact, Raymond sold the hell out of that and came back on 2 shifts later.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Talk about throwing a hit with a very low percentage of being successful.

Definitely doesn't seem intentional but he does pick Raymond's head and makes very little body contact.

Raymond came back to play the rest of the game. Since the DoPS typically goes light if someone doesn't get brained I could see it getting a game. Though they have been handing them out longer than usual lately. Spin the wheel I guess.

Not intentional. Will get 1 -2 games.

 

[FMichael]

As a Red Wings fan it doesn't look intentional and IMHO much of it has to do with the difference in size of both players.

 

[Chips]

Reckless hit. No history at least one game, a history then has to be multiple games

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Low IQ player even attempting a hit there given his positioning and the play unfolding

Give him a game for that alone

You’re aware that not intentional doesn’t mean shit.

If Zadorov didnt just discover fire he’d better position himself

This is a seriously hot take. Raymond took a full shoulder to the side of his head followed by the back of Zadorov's helmet.

This is just a terrible hit attempt by Zadorov. A player needs to hit squarely through his opponent's body and there was little chance of that happening with this hit.

I don't have any love for the Wings, but that's definitely not "sold the hell out of that." Dude got an elbow and shoulder to the face. Intentional or otherwise, you're getting spun around at a minimum from that kind of contact.

 

[tny760]

looks like he mistimed that pretty badly and just caught what he caught but it's all head obviously

i gotta say though the number of players crossing the offensive blue line lately with their heads down is pretty appalling. obviously you can't make that hit but holy shit protect yourself a little maybe too

 

[norrisnick]

If player safety is to ever be taken seriously, anything to the head needs to start at double digits. Players won't stop if they don't feel the consequences of f***ing up.

 

[Ol' Jase]

One game, maybe two at the most. Can’t be so reckless.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

2-3 games easily

 

[hn777]

That seemed more avoidable than Dillon's hit, and he got three games.

Raymond missed all 7 minutes of the PP. incredibly dumb take.

I wonder if Zadorov gets 3 games to keep him out of the next game between the two teams.

 

[Regal]

No reason to go for that hit in that instance which makes it worse imo. Players can’t keep trying to get a piece of a guy who is about to get past them.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

It looks like Zadorov tried to go for the upper body and the hit elevated a little and rode the shoulder up into the face.

I'd give him a game for the fact that it was poor form on the hit leading to a headshot and he didn't commit to the hit until after Raymond dumped the puck.

Doesn't look like Raymond sold it, that hit on a shorter lighter player is going to spin you around.

Players need to learn to start going through the middle of the body and not through the shoulders, neck, and head.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Super dirty. Canucks were struggling to contain Raymond and resorted to this. Glad Raymond was able to return to seal the win in OT.

 

[BLNY]

Elbow's up the whole way, pivots around to take a careless approach. All he had to do was hold the line and skate through his check.

It’s maybe a game. Not intentional but got his head. Barely any contact, Raymond sold the hell out of that and came back on 2 shifts later.

About as much awareness of what was happening as Quinn Hughes had in OT.

Personally dont think It's as bad as people are making it out to be. 1 game tops. if any.
