esteef 2,679 Report post Posted October 10, 2010 There was no penalty for the hit on Datsyuk because he wears a Wings sweater. esteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brett 1,029 Report post Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) ugly jersey. from the looks of it edler was just bracing himself for the hit and going after the puck and cliffords head went into his shoulder lol Edited October 10, 2010 by brett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hooon 1,089 Report post Posted October 10, 2010 I couldn't believe they didn't call something on that hit on Datsyuk. He got rocked pretty hard twice in that game, the 2nd of which was definitely a way late hit, blindside, and up high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SDavis35 140 Report post Posted October 10, 2010 To quote Don Cherry... "Keep your head up kid!" seriously, these guys get concussions and other head injuries because of these types of hits. There's nothing wrong with what Edler did, but because the head was down he's supposed to just magically back off and dodge him? Datsyuk got hit by a blindside, for sure, this one not even close. Just because he got hit in the head they call a penalty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted October 11, 2010 Who the hell is Clifford? The film with Martin Short? Kyle Clifford was a surprise in training camp for L.A. He's a gritty bottom 6 guy. That's all I know about him tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's all I know about him tho He was just drafted 2 years ago and made the team out of camp. He was invited to the team Canada camp for the world juniors this year so hopefully he's allowed to go because he is one of those typical Canadian junior types that make it hard on the European teams. He's a pretty tough kid and has some size, I wish Detroit would draft these guys sometimes.. Edited October 11, 2010 by newfy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfy 695 Report post Posted October 11, 2010 i would prefer not to draft guys who have no concept of where they are on the ice He took a hit trying to make a play, I can respect that. Its happened to lots of guys before, apparently it happened to Dats last night. Clifford is gonna be a solid player for years to come and these guys can get picked up in the 3rd and 4th round, theyre is usually a few of them still around.
