I was browsing nhl, and I read the headline "Can't miss: Letang lays Big Hit on Tavares"
Now, correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that blatant interference? Tavares was just skating after a dump in with Letang was ahead of him. Letang puts on the brakes, and throws his back/ shoulder into Tavares. I don't understand how that isn't a penalty. Let alone being heralded as a great hit...
It might be in this video, I'm at work so I can't watch through and check but this would be your best bet. This guy has a whole youtube channel dedicated to Red Wings highlights.
For those of you who don't want sit through the whole thing, it starts at the 12:03 mark.
I think the whole thing is a sham, to be honest. They refuse to show a vote counter, and when the round is done players are randomly eliminated,with no sort of count or anything
I agree. How in the hell did Pavel lose against Tavares last year?
My only thing with Howard is he's yet to prove he can play in the playoffs. Ozzie was a playoff goalie, not as good in the regular season. Howard is kind of the opposite as of now, and I realize the team isn't what it used to be and isn't a guarantee to make the dance, but if we get in I hope Howard answers the challenge. I don't expect him to carry us to the cup, but not being the reason we lose no matter how deep we get will be a start.
That San Jose series when we were down 3-0 a couple years ago, he basically willed it to 7 games himself. We just couldnt score to save our playoff lives.
