If you’re making contact with the numbers on someone’s jersey then absolutely not

No. Not at all. This wasn’t a “Keep your head up” type of situation. This was Debrincat was in a vulnerable position and the person who hit him, didn’t need to do that

That was debrincat’s fault, I mean that’s what the TNT announcers said.

I’m a Rangers fan.
That should be a five minute game misconduct for Boarding/Checking From Behind, and a suspension for at least two games.
He essentially Piledrivered the Wings player head first into the boards. They rarely allow that in a scripted wrestling match, let alone a fast paced game of hockey. I’m a big fan of physical hard hitting hockey, but this is flat out dangerous.

Claude Lemieux vs Chris Draper

TNT: He was asking for it.

Those announcers were horrible jackasses.

That could’ve paralyzed or even killed him if he hit his neck wrong wow

Worse than the one they called before

Poor cat has had a rough past few games

People better learn how to hit before the NHL bans it

Dirty dirty dirty. I’m old enough to have watched Draper break his entire face on a remarkably similar hit by the dirtiest player of all time, Claude Lemieux.
I hope the Wings have a long memory on this one. The gloves dropped on the first face off during the following game after Lemieux did that. And Draper was a 4th line grind liner.
This could have ended the season and derailed the career of our best player.

Can we get a petition going to fire these bozo announcers

not even vaguely
I wish the NHL called hitting from behind they way they have in minor hockey for the last 35 years

Right in the numbers. 5 plus game for boarding from behind.

So much salt flowing in this sub recently.

As much as it’s DeBrincats fault. When you see those numbers you need to hold off which he didn’t do.
As a ref even if you question it you HAVE to call that. Set the tone that such risky hits won’t be tolerated because this is dangerous.
So in the end… 2 minute boarding easy. You don’t need slow motion to see it, it’s clear as day. After that assess the results of the situation and raise the time on the penalty.
