1. No suspension there.

2. Goon. Kick these guys out of the league.

3. McDavid did that to Johanssen a week ago. No call on the ice. Johanssen still not back

4. When is the NHL going to make these head shots a mandatory fine of $100,000 with a 15 game suspension.

5. Should be a penalty for embellishment. What a cupcake!

6. scumbag hit.

7. The refs this year have honestly been the worst I’ve ever seen…once again if they would have called a penalty on the initial hit , the retaliation hit would’ve most likely been negated. Then someone ends up getting seriously injured. There has been gross negligence by NHL I don’t blame the players heat of the moment you’re gonna react , refs wake up do your job.

8. these goons must be banned from NHL they are going to injure seriously a player and that is unacceptable. that was intentional to injure a player.

9. suspend this idiot big goon,they need to learn.

10. You can't make initial contact with the head, the guy should be suspended

11. Who is this Lilgegrin person they keep talking about? Some new rookie?

12. Seeing this live, I thought it was shoulder to shoulder. Seeing the replay, it looks 50/50 shoulder and head. So definitely a penalty for hit to the head. I’m even ok with the major, but I don’t think it is suspension worthy.

    I do think the refs could’ve called a penalty just before this on the sharks player (different player than the one injured) for interference on Smith. If they had, this wouldn’t have happened, but that’s no excuse for Smith looking for someone to hit and then doing this.

13. Gutless.

14. LOL listen to testicle head say that Dellandria with good hit on Smith then loose his mind with twist his thongs when Smith does ezactly the same thing to Dellandria . It's not Smith fault his legal shoulder to shoulder puck was at Dellandria stick , and skates was an actually really effective check.

15. Shoulder to shoulder…..just because his head snapped back doesn’t make it a head shot…this game will be as boring as tennis pretty soon

16. this looks like hockey being hockey what the hell did you think was going to happen its hockey. Hockey is rough it's not for everyone

17. Cole Smith. little punk

18. Enjoy your unpaid vacation

19. 3 games would be appropriate

20. Pos. Disrespectful. Shame to see Schenn defending this type of behaviour. Thought he had class.

21. he touch the puck half a second before the hit, that was ok. He hit the shoulder first and deflect to the head. It was not such a bad hit. I understand for the match penalty to avoid retaliation for the rest of the game

22. Still looks shoulder on shoulder.

23. Smith has played his 5 years in the NHL without any disciplinary measures. He just returned from being on a 4-6 week IR and was obviously upset with getting taken out by Liljegren and took his frustrations out on Dellandria . I'd predict a minimum 3 game suspension along with the NHLPA maximum 1rst offence fine of $10,000.

24. I don't understand why they need to review it!?! 2 referees on the ice and they can't make that call?

25. Technically he had the puck, albeit just tipping off his skate.

26. Clear hit to the head, i don`t really like how possession is ruled there. He never had the puck and is actually looking for it. Smith just lost it for the hit before, and was seeking someone to destroy.
    He can throw that hit, but he can`t set it that high. Will be suspended for that one.

27. Elbow to chest is the ppoc he just touched the puck that’s a clean hit.

28. First of all hut his shoulder first not head, commentators are awful, obvious cheap shot don't get me wrong, but also is LILIGREN ot LILJEGREN, guys a joke

29. Bottom feeders fighting.

30. The puck was in his feet he had his head down and got nailed. Great hit, unfortunately it was to the head, and in todays NHL that's a bad thing. I miss the old days when that was legal. Keep your head up dumbass.

31. Clown announcers: Liljigren hits Smith at center as puck goes through = "big play", Smith his Dellandrea at blue line as puck goes through "interference! bad hit!"
