Clean hit draws penalty

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

They looked somewhat clean to me. No hit to the head and the player getting hit, saw it coming.

Sort of like the "clean hits" Homer puts on the opposing goalie, yet, the Wings goalie gets laid on top of or hit, and nothing gets called.

The first hit could have been called for boarding or charging. Campoli was coming out from behind the net skating backwards having just scooped up the puck. Bradley comes flying in and doesn't target Campoli, but where he will be. Bradley knows that he will be hitting Campoli before Campoli even has the puck. By the time Campoli truly had the puck, he was switching to a forward motion, but Bradley was already on top of him.

The second hit could arguably have been called elbowing, and it was definitely charging. Bradley left his feet before contact.

Thats not the definition of charging. That's the definition of reading the play. Bradley didn't skate into his opponent, he strided. He also didn't leave his feet. I don't know how that could be considered charging.

Ok, so I realize we can create any kind of topic but what's the purpose of a new one daily? Maybe a mastodon sized, "Clean hits penalized" thread could be an idea. This added nothing to the topic but what's a thread everyday going to do other than bring up the same arguments?
