The other thing I would like to see or understand, if it is a dirty hit when done to a teammate and you are willing to get vengeance for it, why then would it be ok for you or your teammate to do it to another team?

 

That is often times why I find the B's to be so hypocritcal, the ***** about what happened to their guys as dirty and gutless, then do the same and say it is part of the game.

 

 

BTW F.Michael, I like watching them too, they have an exciting hockey team with the right combo of vets, youth, skill, toughness, and are really tough to play against.

I haven't been able to watch the video because my phone won't load it right now. But from the way I understand it you have to let up if someone is in a vulnerable position, even if they were dumb enough to put themselves there. Not to mention it's Perry, I wouldn't be surprised if he was purposefully negligent and contacted the head.

Late hit and probably suspension worthy.

Watch the hit them re-comment.  I'm not saying Perry couldn't have let up a little, but he didn't purposely hit Zucker's head.

4 games for Perry!

I love the video release of why they did this.

Not just on this hit, on all of them.

Even if I disagree with the Player Safety Committee on a suspension at least now we can see their train of thought.

Well there you go.  They deemed it reckless targeting of the head, which I can understand why.

[St. Michael (the Red Wing)]

Not surprised. 4 games seems legit.

Pretty soon the NHL wont need pads it'll be all skirts and thongs. Bunch of crybaby *******.

So Perry will be back when the Wings will play the Ducks on 3/22 and 3/24!

Late hit. Perry's a ******, but I don't think that hit is worth a 4 game suspension.

[Z Winged Dangler]

I just watched the hit for the first time.  the 4 game suspension was not needed.  Zucker didn't brace himself for a hit while he admired a pass and the hit was barely late at all.  5 and a game was more than enough.  only reason it was more than 2 minutes is cause Perry is taller than Zucker and hit shoulder to head and Zucker laid on the ice long enough for everyone in the building to take a leak.  That's why you keep your head up.  Elbow never came up, wasnt' charging, just half a second late.  Rookies get toasted on these hits all the time.  Not in junior anymore kiddo.

wow! seriously, 4 games...

 

they should give at least 6 or not give it at all.

he is going to be well rested for red wings games.

Should we expect anything less from Perry.

 

[evil204]

Let's just say I have a much bigger problem with a guy grabbing somebody's head and slamming it into the boards then a guy being a little late finishing a check.

[sibiriak]

Wish I could say I'm surprised the pansies here think its dirty. The same people who forget what Stevie y did but then talk about about Crosby and others for doing same stuff.


Hit was fine the timing was fine. The only thing questionable was arm being up but he has a severe height advantage didn't look intentional. General rule is you're allowed three steps to hit someone after they get rid of puck. Sometimes refs shorten it up sometimes lengthen it.

If you take three steps to hit someone it is in itself charging. Read the rulebook. This hit was late, to the head, leading with his elbow, he got 4 games and should have gotten a couple more.

And I would hate to see this d... in red and white, just like I don't like seeing Bertuzzi in it. I can tolerate Bert only because he hasn't done anything objectionable in a while.

[WINGS & FLOW]

Not surprised. 4 games seems legit.

Yep, got what he deserved.  They will call that every time in todays NHL and players know that

[Crymson]

Hope he kicks our ass and Holland wakes up from his stupidity and targets him!!!

 

Yep, let's lose some vital games so that Holland will "wake up" and make an offer for a player whom Anaheim will almost certainly not be putting on the market. Woohoo!
