Description
Good win last night and good game for Grubauer. But everyone’s real concern is Mackinnon. I’m no doctor so don’t take my word on this but it looked like a concussion. I do hope he’s okay and we will just see what happens.

wouldnt speculate anything what it looks like yet bc who knows, but early signs are good

Just hope that plug gets a heft suspension for it, every thing he did in that series of event was available and just dumb

Yeah I also think that the hit should be a suspension probably like either 1 or 2 games

See more contact in a soccer game than on that "hit" where the head was about the 3rd point of contact with the slightest of glancing blows. If he is concussed from that, he probably lives half of his life with a concussion because better odds of getting one hitting your head in a bevy of other ways than with that play. Hope he's fine, but in reality he should be more than fine because there was minimal of anything that really happened.

It was a dumb hit by a dumb player who was at mid ice, saw the whole play develop, picked up his stride towards Nate, did not attempt to play the puck, principle contact with the head, lowered his shoulder and lead with his elbow. It was a garbage play, just everything he did was the worst possible decision made

He could. have just put a stick on him or lined him up on the body or hip and he would have made an actual hockey play. He hit him square on the chin, dont downplay it

He will be suspended bc he had multiple opportunities to avoid the play or play it differently and he did not. Low IQ play so he will get what he deserves

That bottom part is the important part. I would expect a suspension because of the fact that the play was avoidable and it was contract to the head

“ Jared Bednar on his team's response to the MacKinnon hit: "I liked it. ... I don't think his intent was to hit Nate high, but he catches him high."

"The power play goes out right away and pots a big goal." “

I just think your hot on the play.

Wasn’t a good hit but wasn’t a dumb player/ being an idiot like you allude to him being a piece of sh**. Both coaches have very similar opinions on the hit and there was no huge uproar.

Wasn’t a good hit but definitely wasn’t an idiotic play like some players make/ you’re making it out to be.

He gets a game or so; about right, and we move on. Don’t think bad blood is needed or warranted lol

im not alluding hes a piece of poop, its a low hockey IQ hit by player who has 4 game sin the NHL at what 4 mins a night, he hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt of hes not a smart player at the NHL level...that was pretty dumb by him.

He had multiple opportunities to address that hit different, change his angles etc, and played it in the worst possible way.

No one was saying he intended to hit Nates head, but he did it bc he didnt address the play properly, It can be a dumb low hockey IQ hit without intent

and with how the sharks broadcast tried to pin the blame of that hit on Nate...nah man avs fan are not taking any of that nonsense

There are plenty of injuries, especially to the head, that look like "nothing" in the moment but can still do damage. When you consider these guys move at high speeds and you have a moving body hitting another one that is standing mostly still, a concussion isn't simply a matter of how direct or hard the contact was, it was what happened inside his skull. It was a glancing blow and he appeared to be okay but a concussion isn't out of the question on a play like that.

With you and Coga going back and fourth I realized there is a medium to this situation.
Like you said wasn’t a dumb play but we can agree it was a high hit and was a penalty. Probably like a one or two game suspension if I had to guess. Also you best belive there will be bad blood especially if Mackinnon ends up missing time. If he does and if the guy who hit Mackinnon ( my bad can’t recall his name) is in the lineup someone is gonna be challenging him. That’s just what happens when you take a run at the other teams superstar
