Chunkylover 26 Report post Posted November 14, 2011 Seems like it should have been charging on the other guy rather than clipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted November 14, 2011 This kinda play from the team captain. Words can't describe how disgusting that is. Why? Looked like a hip check to the thighs to me.....it was very high, he didn't go low at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jollymania 162 Report post Posted November 14, 2011 The play itself wasn't dirty imo, but that has too be one of the poorest-executed hipchecks I have ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HelmFan 84 Report post Posted November 14, 2011 Am I the only one here disappointed? With paper, and pen in hand I was hoping to jot down Mrs. Lidstrom's famous Swedish meatball recipe I was hoping for a locker room pic, if you know what I mean. Hi-O!

Finnish Wing 110 Report post Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) The play itself wasn't dirty imo, but that has too be one of the poorest-executed hipchecks I have ever seen. Hipcheck? How can you hipcheck a guy without the puck? Persson had the puck and Vaananen was going to hit HIM, fair and square. Persson dodged the hit dangerously by going low. Vaananen could've gone to the boards head first.If you aren't man enough to take a hit, stay off the ice. Edited November 14, 2011 by Finnish Wing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It isn't really cheap at all. I agree with that it seemed to be more of a ***** play than anything, but throwing a hipcheck there is fine, this was just terribly executed. here is lindros doing it to chara, nothing wrong with it And that clip is a real hockey battle, the finn vs swede clip was not.

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted November 14, 2011 Not completely unlike what Yzerman did to Pronger. Hipcheck? How can you hipcheck a guy without the puck? Persson had the puck and Vaananen was going to hit HIM, fair and square. Persson dodged the hit dangerously by going low. Vaananen could've gone to the boards head first. If you aren't man enough to take a hit, stay off the ice. Yes, hipcheck. How do you hipcheck a guy without the puck? Same way you do with a guy that has the puck. I don't see what the issue is here. One guy is coming in for a hit, leaving him fair game for a hipcheck, what's the issue? Are you telling me that you think there is a problem with a guy trying to avoid getting hit when he sees it coming? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunkylover 26 Report post Posted November 14, 2011 If you aren't man enough to take a hit, stay off the ice. I would say if you're going to charge at a guy don't expect him to just take your hit like a docile lamb. Does not a player have a right to protect himself? Is getting drilled into the boards the only right way to take a hit? Over-reaction by the refs on what looked like, but turned out not to be, a dangerous play.

Finnish Wing 110 Report post Posted November 14, 2011 If that's ok there across the pond then I'll guess we have a cultural difference here. No need to continue the discussion any further. I am amazed, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am amazed, though. I'm on the same side of the pond as you and I don't get what's the big deal. Some members of Finnish national team complained about what Persson did but I think this incident will be forgotten soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted November 15, 2011 how'd the Swedish Capt get called for clipping when he was basically standing still? The only call there was 2 min roughing on the Finnish player as far as i can see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the problem that the Swede should have gotten a longer penalty for ducking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the problem that the Swede should have gotten a longer penalty for ducking? I just think that ducking like that was dangerous to the hitter if u watch how finn flew head first close to the boards. Finn was penalized for hittin the swede. 1 Finnish Wing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
