I thought before this series he should at least draw in for one game just to be a missile out there and bruise up/fluster any hawk he sees. Players like tootoo are the bane of the hawks existence.
Problem is nobody teaches these kids how to check or how to take/avoid one. And kids at that age aren't out there to kill one another I would be willing to bet 90% of those injuries come from illegal checks or situation where the player being hit was unprepared.
The elbows that went unpunished are a joke when compared to the clean Abdelkader and Gryba hits. THe NHL is basically saying you can throw cheapshots but god forbid you hit a guy cleanly with force.
Wings need to be more physical and match the ducks. The kronner hit was ncie but the wings passed up so many hits and just peeled away, they need to finally jsut play playoff hockey.
That's not really shoulder to chest. Using that description I expected a Scott Stevens special. The last angle shows he barely contacted his chest if any.
I do think the 5 minutes was a reaction to the blood, but at full speed it's not that clear cut.
That was full chest, don't know what you are looking at. Pretty mcuh the entire HNIC panel and Keenan said it looked clean.
