Why Kronwall leaves feet DURING big hits

Think of it this way...if you saw 2 cars start 200 feet away from eachother take off head on, and reach even 50 mph, and then collide, at least one of the cars would have front or back wheels lift off the ground, simple physics. Look closely at the kronwall hit montage on youtube, he leans into the hit at the last second, only standing on his toes and just like the car analogy, the force of coming to almost a sudden stop , makes his feet shoot up off the ice. Now sometimes Kronwall will leave his feet merely a half a second before impact which is still borderline legal. The rule is more so that people dont leap into a hit 2 or 3 seconds before impact and hit someone's head. Look closely he rarely hits the head, and if he does, its after impact when the force sends him flying that way. I'd say MAYBE 1 out of 10 kronwall hits has been questionable at best.

In another topic, i love how Therrien has complained publicly about obstruction after every game, except the game they won...i had a good laugh when i realized that.

Physics and common sense elude the Guin' nation.

Physics and common sense illude the Guin' nation.

It would seem so considering EVERY time we hit someone the fans at mellon booed for apenalty, clean hit or not...everytime pens got called for offsides, even if someone was CLEARLY 5 feet inside our blueline when the puck crossed...they booed as if they just got a penalty, we scored, or the refs missed a call against us
