Hier soir, alors que le Seattle Kraken arrivait au Saddledome pour affronter les Flames de Calgary, nous avons eu un match pour le moins mouvementé. Mais ce qui va faire parler tout le monde, c’est Martin Pospisil. Il a porté deux coups brutaux envoyant les gars tête première dans les planches. D’abord sur Larson et plus tard dans le jeu sur Vince Dunn. Maintenant, je sais que Pospisil est un joueur qu’on aime avoir. J’ai vu cela en tant que fan des Penguins l’autre soir où il a réussi 9 coups sûrs lors de ce match. Il est doué pour être ce gars ennuyeux contre qui jouer, semblable à un gars comme Brad Marchand. Mais si tel est votre jeu, vous devrez répondre à la cloche parce que la ligue en prend note et pourtant, il a dit qu’il n’était pas prêt à se battre. Il a eu 6 commotions cérébrales, donc il ne va pas se battre, ce qui est assez clair par la façon dont il se tortille lorsqu’il est mis au défi. Même s’il s’est passé beaucoup de choses pendant le match, nous avons également eu un moment amusant après le coup de sifflet lorsque Confetti est tombé à un moment donné après que la rondelle ait touché le tableau d’affichage. Je couvre cela et tout le reste dans la vidéo de hockey de la LNH d’aujourd’hui ! #nhl #faits saillants #hockey #calgaryflames #seattlekraken

He's got a phone hearing scheduled for tomorrow. Any guesses on possible suspension length?
Bro tries to give concussions but doesn't want to fight. Pathetic
Dude’s got a hell of a Nick Cousins impression…
Don’t like the hit but as a pro hockey player you can’t put yourself in that position. Brutal to watch guys do this all the time.
Can't be hitting like that and then cower when the gloves come off
I think it is time to eliminate checking from hockey. Rubbing people out should be allowed however. If the NHL cares about its players, it will eliminate it. Some may complain, but it will become a much faster moving game. Defenceman should be allowed a higher level of contact if skating backwards head to head with someone, but these corner poundings need to go. If that happened when I was reffing, I'd consider a match: from behind, vulnerable, may have left feet, intent to injure, head first…just too many things to list. When will these players learn that ending someone's career is not worth a win in the corners?!
Clean Hit, keep your head up softies
First hit is meh. kinda just got smoked. 2nd hit is for sure suspendable but Dunn should get an earful for actually putting himself in that position. that is 100% a player thinking. "I cant be hit in this position" and trying to get free time out of it.
These hits literally could have paralyzed either one of these players, the NHL needs to get their sh*t together
great, a new Marchand, but without the offensive upside…
He's eventually going to pull this against the wrong team and get decapitated by a Reaves, Wilson, Rempe etc.
If the league dosent do anything against pospisil, other teams will, and he will have a target on his back
That’s a clean hit, guy intentionally stood 2 feet from the board knowing flames are on the forecheck, play on. It’s hockey not soccer.
Players have no idea how to keep their heads up or how to properly absorb hits anymore. Coaches don’t even teach it now so everyone gets f’d up after they get hit.
Beauty hits. Get tough seattle
Both hits were probably penalties… Second one no doubt. But wtf were Larsson and that other guy thinking?? Just stand there with their back facing the ice and nobody can hit them? Stupid man, they're gonna get brain damaged and it's not 100% fault to whoever does it to em. They're literally just standing there looking at the puck with their back to the play. I'd be surprised if flamer gets more than 2 (games).
god why are all these hockey channels so soft? Why is Gen Z filled with absolute pussies? Holy shit people.. it's hockey. Maybe you'd be more of a fan of women's field hockey??
Imagine trying to work your way up to the next and be a good part of a team, being a hard nose guy and had some talent, only for you to crumple when your about to get a knuckle sandwich in the face. Weak. Absolutely weak.
Dude doesn't wanna answer the bell? Then his teammates start getting taken advantage of.
On a clear night .. you can see the flames choke . Fck yyc .
Rempe and reaves should tee off on him together
Needing to fight after every hit is pathetic. Hanging out trying to draw hits is absolutely insane.
Throwing a hit like that second one is outright dangerous. Loads of morons in the NHL this season – really not happy with “todays NHL”
Lames always been like this. Turtle team.
Probably shouldn't just stand there facing the boards with your head down waiting to get wailed on. Unless your trying to get a penalty, then go for it.
He should have gotten 5 for the first one, he should have received 5 and match penalty on the second
If you talk the talk, you walk the walk.
that's a boarding penalty this is stupid. Like yeah you got 6 concussions but you have to be held liable for your actions. For example if your going to play like a brat you're going to get hit
I'm starting to think teams are going to bring back enforcers out of necessity because of dogshit hits from guys like Popisil and the emergence of Rempe in the East. The push for a "skill" league can be countered by goons in a heartbeat. Look at what happened when Toronto got bullied by Florida last playoffs.
What a scumbag! Hopefully someone concusses him out of the league.
