Since no one else is posting it, this head shot with an elbow went uncalled, forcing Hronek to leave the game.

  1. Svech is like Kuch. Got some good hands, but when the wires cross he turns into a fckn prick

  2. Feels like they’re taking a page from the Florida playbook this year. Playing like fat pussies.

  3. That should be a couple games for Svech. Knowing the league, he’ll get fined $11 and a bag of chips. 

  4. I don’t like this hit either, and Svechnikov does have a tendency to take some pretty egregious penalties at times. This one seemed pretty unnecessary. It’s a clear missed call.

    However, I appreciate that a large number of Canes fans are objective enough to call it how they see it regularly. People forget, but you’ve got kids from NC entering the NHL draft now. It’s been more than two and a half generations of kids playing in Carolina, and I think that is fantastic.

  5. Dillon: I’m gonna throw a little elbow this week to be spicy
    Svech: THATS NOT AN ELBOW, THIS IS AN ELBOW

  6. The Canucks deserved to lose that game but man were these refs useless. So many non-calls both ways that something like this was obviously gonna happen.

  7. Yo…. that has to be 4 games. NHL cannot have that in the league. These teams play eachother once every 2 years, this isn’t some heated rivalry.

  8. Should’ve been a minor penalty for elbowing but thats it. Contact was with the shoulder first and because of positioning of both players the arms slide up the shoulder and into the head. Its not dirty, but it is unfortunate. Even with not being more than a 2 minute minor id be fine with it also being fined. A $5k deterrent to say to be more careful is reasonable.
