I am going to say the Ducks, watching Zegras play is worth it alone.

Ehh, that's not a smart play by Sid, you don't flip a dude because you're losing 5-1

so we just call blatant interference and borderline intent to injure a great hit now? and people said us Caps fans were crazy


No way in hell thats intent to injure. Interference, maybe, blatant, no. Im saying its a good old fashioned hit that was a way to try get a spark. Old style hockey, like the stuff i remember watching as a teen in the 70s. good on crosby for getting more physical and not letting them push him around.

He didnt do anything wrong, if he did, he would face supplemental discipline, which he isnt facing.

young hockey is cool and all, but theyre too soft. More hits are needed. Its turning into a boys sport not a mans sport.

manhandling and tossing some guy into the boards nowhere near the puck is blatant interference

martin's own momentum made it look worse than it actually was. No way crosby can just ragdoll a dude like that, you don't think there was any theatrics to make it look worse than it actually was?

The Hurricanes have offer sheeted the wrong guy.


It’s my 2 favourite players.

Also I wonder what it would’ve taken for the habs to not match a Pezzetta offer sheet? Maybe a one-way contract?

I don't think they'd care about a one-way contract, but a non-buriable deal would probably annoy them enough to not match.

apparently he can, since he did so.

hard to be dramatic when a dude grabs your head and throws you face first into the boards.

Dude. Have you even watched the video? A completely unnecessary play, and a questionable hit. It IS blatant interference, and frustration isnt an excuse to chuck a dude full force in the corner

i don't believe crosby is a dirty player either; but the hit was irresponsible and it's unfortunate the nhl don't want to do anything about it.

if it truly was an illegal hit, and was irresponsible, the nhl would've handed out supplemental discipline. they didnt, what does that tell you?

It tells me that that DOPS is awful and inconsistent.

This comment is wrong on so many levels, if you're watching hockey for the physical contact, switch to the NFL or Boxing or something, the goal of hockey isn't to be super physical and strong, it's to score. Also "Its turning into a boys sport not a mans sport" that's not a thing,

I still like KK, can't tell if that comment is serious or not since we're notorious for loving a player until he doesn't play for us anymore
