Dans cette édition de To The Point, le panel du HNIC débat pour savoir si JT Miller méritait une interférence avec le gardien de but avant de décomposer le gros coup sûr de Brendan Smith sur Connor Bedard menant à une blessure et d’aborder un autre coup douteux de Nick Cousins.

The clean hit trolls are out in number i see. Lol
Head up
Play longer
Dang, that's nothing compared to what Scott Stevens used to dish out. Looked like Connor bumped into Brendan and fell down.
clean hit ….as was Geekie in the IIHF…..same contact
Department of Player Safety has been a joke for years. Instead of being run by an enforcer they should get someone in there who had their career cut short by dirty hockey, like a Paul Kariya or Steve Moore. Otherwise you end up with these clowns like Cousins and Hartman doing stupid crap and getting nothing but token fines.
People love to see others fail! Lots of people have nothing going on in their own life so they hate on others! Personally i feel Bedard is making the game exciting and i love this game. I’m pulling for him even i’m not for his team.
Another great breakdown by bieksa! 💯
Good hit. Stevens like.
Not the play what are you doing???
There is no such thing as a clean hit to the face.
Weird cuz it didnt even look hard
Loved the cousins talk bieksa gave
Totally clean hit. Brendan Smith rocked me in Tier 2 Junior A while he was on St Michael’s Buzzers. His edges are amazing and he hits hard .. REALLY hard. Connor & I both know it. And Foligno has a broken hand. Smith is Nails plain & Simple
Love seeing these hockey gods know everything LoL
The NHL Dept of Player Safety's a joke. It's the same disgusting behavior they've been letting guys like tom wilson get away with for years. Cousins needs to be suspended for at least as many games as Zucker, especially since he's a repeat offender.
It wasn’t not a clean hit.
Bieska loves Rafi Torres. Of course he does. Torres is a scumbag.
Smith is lucky that he didn't get a hearing from the Department of Player Safety
Welcome to the big leagues, this aint Jr anymore. I remember McDavid getting a broken collar bone his first season. Shyte just roles different when youre in the show.
Clean beautiful hit and I pray that little over hyped Connor gets rocked more!!
Agree with everything said about Cousins. Zuckerberg should've dropped the gloves though. Can't hit the dude like that when he did the same thing to your guy. Square off like Foligno did.
Blackhawks will load up on enforcer plugs after this
Bet 😂
Kevin breaks it down perfectly mad luv for the ex Canuck
No one likes michigan goals. Might as well let players hold the puck with their hands. This is like the NBA's version of travelling. Now NBA players can take 5 to 10 steps without getting called for travelling. You want to watch La Cross – then go watch La Cross.
Nice, clean hit that was actually pretty soft. Bedard is just tiny and gets rocked easily. Kreider knocked him off the puck with a little shove a few days ago.
Just ran into him really.
Sad to see when someone, regardless that it’s young Connor, being hit in the head / jaw , and then praised as a good clean hit…embarrassing….praise to Nick for standing up for his teammate…
He broke the cardinal rule, he cut to the middle of the ice without looking up. Hits like these were a dime a dozen till recently. Lucky for him that the devil who hit him wasnt scott stevens, or his career mightve ended tonight. Gotta be grateful for the little things.
God, Ron McLean? I'm out.
I said it when he started playing fir the Blackhawks some turd was going to lower the boom on bedard, most opposing players have been cool but i knew it was a matter of time before someone welcomed him to the NHL,it was a cheap hit not really firty but unnecessary and low class move ,his talent is undeniable his size is a problem
Maybe it’s time to set maximum hardness standards for NHL shoulder and arm pads. Getting hit in the head by them is like getting hit by a brick wall. Softer versions should mean far fewer head injuries.
As far as protecting the arms and shoulders were there really that many more injuries to that part of player’s bodies before these hard plastic protectors existed? I have a suspicion that they weren’t because one consequence of wearing softer padding is that you won’t check as hard yourself. Yes, hits won’t be as violent and impressive but if reducing pad hardness reduces all these head injuries that’s fine by me.
