“In an ideal world, the NHL would promptly act in situations like this with punishments that deter this kind of ugliness. Unfortunately, when we’re dealing with issues of intent, policing becomes very difficult.”
At the end of the 3rd, the camera was on Stone and he said « they keep hitting me in the back » with some explicits.
Howden needs to clarify for them, this isn’t acceptable stuff. Trying to injure a guy for life, to win a game is serious mental illness. We should be much better than that.
He’s being generous with « appeared », they absolutely were and some of them should have been called. He got one while celebrating his goal
The amount of trying to justify it is nuts, even from the guys in the video below. “It’s not malicious” …. You sure about that?
Target McDavid then. Eye for an Eye
Hockey media bias is so fucking weird, man. I see thos headline and my first reaction is « The Oilers *sparking* this debate? Did nobody watch us against the Jets last round? »
The Jets and to a lesser extent, the Senators are so ignored by hockey media, it’s crazy. No wonder those fan bases have such a chip on their shoulder.
Anyway, it’s all Bush league. I don’t have a perfect solution to suggest, but it is clearly wrong to intent to injure someone by targeting somewhere that person just recovered from.
Hey if you gotta bad back that’s not Edmontons fault,cross checks like that happen to every player
They can’t beat us 5 on 5. The Mcdavid line is good and their power play is good. They know that they have to do something to keep us from playing a clean game so they are gonna play dirty and try to get us to retaliate the whole time. It’s trash and if we went after Mcdavid the same way they would have the same opinions that we do.
Watching the game last night, I did miss me some Reaves.
It’s playoffs, so players are gonna be allowed to play much more. That being said, refs and the league have got to watch this. Can’t punish a hit, even if it seems targeted as far as I know, but a message has to be sent. The second there’s even a debatable penalty against stone, it has to be called.
Maybe Fox 5 shouldn’t have put out a video that enabled Edmonton to target his back?
Everyone gets upset that teams say « upper body or lower body » with injuries to avoid malicious targeting hits.
Glad I wasn’t just imagining that. Jets were doing it, Oilers were doing it, it’s fucking unreal.
It’s always been this way, It’s the whole reason teams will be very vague about what injuries a player has.
