What do you all think?

I think Hrudey's take is horrible lol what a joke. A 2 minute penalty...really?! It's the game within a game. Suzuki was trying to get under Hart's skin, and it worked. But it's a double edged sword, for all Suzuki knew, doing that could of pissed Hart off and then he no longer gives up a goal.

Its not like he punches him in the head, hes tapping the top of his head as a rub to get under his skin. Thats the same thing as an opposing player spraying the goalie with ice in my eyes. who cares? its all gamesmanship.

Marchand didn’t get a penalty for licking guys...why should Suzuki get one for patting Hart on the head?

It's not worthy of a penalty, but it also shows bad character.

Definitely not a sign of good sportsmanship etc. Closer to a Brad Marchand move than a Lady Byng move. There's such a thing as a bad winner and this is an example of it.

He was "taunting" hart. Who had been pretty dominant against the habs outside of game 2.... probably more of a "got you this time" than anything. Ide rather have the bad winner than coots throwing that cheapshot hit after the empty net goal or thompson going hard into the corner trying to lay a pretty nasty hit when the game was essentially over... nothing is worse than a sore loser.

oh but big hits arent bad gamesmanship? i just got told that the clean hit by mcavoy on staal was dirty and should be out of the game.... not by you two but just seeing where the line is on everyones thresholds. Since everyone in the league smack talks/face washes/icesprays. so whole league must be bad characters.

Anyone doing those things shows bad character. That doesn't mean they are bad characters. Those are different things.

Hits are literally a part of the game; the actions you referenced are not.

I'm not sure why you're so worked up about this but it's kind of weird, frankly.

If lightly tapping someone on the head is bad character, then it has to be the nicest possible way of showing it lol

Its kind of bizarre because the only people I see that get upset about this time of thing (harmless head tap, celebrating a goal, etc) are the same people that say the game is "soft" and "too sensitive"
