  1. Someone is going to get hurt badly if the league and the refs don’t protect the players. We will have another Steve Moore type incident

  2. Is this just a weekend of bad boarding plays?

    I’m honestly shocked Kane didn’t get a penalty or a suspension for his hit.

    And then mcdavid threw a brutal cross check to the back today and didn’t get called either.

  3. Should be a suspension, and he should be forced to drop the gloves and actually fight Gudbranson, instead of turtling.

  4. What difference does it make? A couple grand isn’t nearly as damaging to Cousins as being forever known as a massive cowardly turtle. He’ll never lose that label.

  5. Cousins is a dirty SOB. Guy turtles twice instead of answering the bell. Had the refs just protected Gudbranson by calling that hit a major + game misconduct as it should have been, we wouldn’t have ended up in this situation to begin with.

  6. Okay… as someone who has no allegiance to either team, at first I thought “he was trying to go shoulder to shoulder… BUT, clearly this was going to be a dangerous play…” I don’t think there was a scenario where throwing a hit was not going to be boarding. I am going to say two games seems fair for this, but won’t be surprised at the league maximum… or possibly nothing with how inconsistent Parros is.

  7. What a bitch to go down after that. Time to take your medicine for that dirty shit, stand up.

  8. “Hockey fans” at their best. You cant think the hit is dirty and the same time that the retaliation wasnt. Its intelectuall dishonesty. Yes, the hit can be called dirty, but intentionally hitting someone repeaditly in the back of the head is atleast equally dirty. What the fuck is the matter with you people.

  9. He abandoned a clear path to the puck to put a player head down into the boards. I know the first rules of hockey are head up stick down, but that was 100% intentional on a player who wasn’t on the puck and is totally appropriate for a suspension IMO.

  10. I like how he took a second to lay on the ice, realized he was fine, then got up quickly to try and punch the other guy

  11. Australian here. As I’m unsure of the rules regarding slamming, could some please say what is allowed and what’s not allowed. Also, with the fight, i know that it’s allowed, but once someone is on the ground ain’t they meant to stop?

  12. Should have been a major and an ejection, but for some reason reduced to a minor after replay. Another cheap hit by a player following the numbers and plowing him anyway. Kane’s was the same type of hit. Followed the numbers and face planted him anyway.

    The league is simply not serious about removing these dangerous types of hits from the game. In the old days, Gudbranson jumping Cousins would have been considered a justifiable response, but now he will be punished, and Cousins will get the same treatment Kane got from the league, which is nothing.

    It’s going to take a broken neck before they do something, but considering the Larkin play, maybe that won’t be enough either. Perron will deservedly get his suspension, at least

  13. Lot of problems here
    #1 it was a sloppy check. The way they both fell made it look worst than it was.
    #2 if gudbranson doesn’t lose his edge, he never falls into the boards.
    #3 LUCKILY Gudbranson was not hurt. However he laid their limp as a dead fish, till the whistle blew, then he shot up. I have an issue with that. Either you are thar hurt, or you’re not.
    #4 I’d turtle too, lol

  14. Looked like he was going for a shoulder to shoulder but fudged it and made a bad hit. Seemed more of a stupid play than a intent to injure. The retaliation of punches to the back of head and neck are clearly intentional to injure the the other player. Fines for both in my opinion.

  15. Bro that looked like a fatality move from mortal Kombat. 100% could have killed him holy fuck is that dirty,

  16. No.
    It’s a sport called hockey.
    No pussys allowed.
    No it should not be fined, cuz payback will be more than any cash.
    Trust me.

  17. Always Cracks me up when chicken shit players turtle up when it’s time to answer the bell
