  1. I love the point about no player has the intention to knee a player thatā€™s moving against you. Iā€™ve seen the injury go the opposite way but I still feel the defender is responsible injury or not.

  2. TEAM needs to be responsible
    Don't cry when everyone fails to have accountability then the pound of flesh is taken on you when your teammates is responsible for starting it and you don't at the very least call it out.

  3. I couldn't agree more. The Cousins situation is ALL on the referees and the League. The Department of Player Safety has NO credibility.

  4. Nick Cousins is a coward. He got off easy as far as I'm concerned. Even worse, the refs are absolute morons and they should be fired for letting a hit that dangerous go unpunished.

  5. love how the girl keeps yelling responsibility (like the league imposing fines to millionaires) as the players is talking about he should of avoid the fight after hitting him and if they loose a player then i think a bigger player should check him for it and call it even…. hockey 101 keep it between the players and let them handle it

  6. Thats worth 3 games suspension.
    What ever happened to the pros knowing what is legal and not?
    Why hasn't the NHL protecting the players as well the PA !! BS
    You call a time out . Toronto reviews the hit and thats when it the hammer is droppef

  7. Cousins don't hit him , and Gubransen reverse hits him and blows him up. Reverse hits are almost interference as you don't have the puck when you get hit. It's toss up. Play the hit coming then battle for the puck.

  8. Itā€™s funny how there isnā€™t a video yet of the Pastrnak hit yet. Player safety and even the media is all about who is doing the hitting and who is being hit. All the beef over fighting needing to be eliminated from the game when itā€™s a simple solution to solving beefs between playersā€¦drop the gloves, throw some punches, move onā€¦

  9. It needs to be Bieksa's remedy, but when it's as nasty and dangerous, likely to cause injury, the League should also step in.

  10. I hated Bieksa as a player, but he is right on the spot here. I dont watch HNIC since they fired the coach. Bieksa for commish. Bettman is here only for the owners. He still doesn't understand the game or it's fans.
