watching letang get thrown down like a sack of potatoes always brings a smile to my face.
Love Simmonds but that's an eblow folks
0:13 McCann- "I'd like to fight but my arm is stuck around the ref"
Anybody who thinks that hit was legal is an idiot. Wayne Simmons left his feet and leapt into Brian Dumoulin. That makes it illegal I can't stand Wayne Simmonds
Kronwall got suspended for this hit.
That's a good hockey hit. He did catch a bit of his chin but that's expected sometimes. The principal point of contact was straight in the sternum. Stayed on his feet and never chicken winged his arm at the head.
i like how wayne simmonds after the hit to the head wants to go after more guys.
Classy philly fans booing when Dumoulin gets up
Guys used too lick they’re chops for a hit like this gimme a break!
Where are the enforcers ??? This NHL needs them back or we can watch Europe soccer !! That’s soft like the NHL now ! So sorry for hockey !
Team Japan fan here, let da boys play.
I didn't see him leave his feet like someone commented earlier. Brutal hit but I wouldn't say dirty now if I was a Pens fan or player I may see it differently.
clean hit, this is the reason I quit watching the nhl. You see more hits and punches thrown in soccer these days.
Helmets ruin the jerseys.
Go Jackets
The NHL Department of Player Safety’s thinking, according to a league source, centers around the contention that Dumoulin’s head was not the main point of contact.
the NHL Department of Player Safety determined that Simmonds targeted, and hit, Dumoulin’s clavicle. In doing so, Dumoulin’s body went one way, his head another.
That, the source said, was “a really good indicator that the head’s not the main point of contact.”
the Department of Player Safety must determine whether the head is the main point of contact, not whether a secondary force — the ice or glass, for example — did anything.
In reviewing the hit, the NHL Department of Player Safety did not believe that Simmonds hit Dumoulin late, nor did it feel that Simmonds left his skates to make the hit.
Wayne Simmonds cant accept that he's trash now
Suspend Simmonds for the hit clearly an illegal hit
I hate the Pens, but it was a dirty hit. Left the ice to drive his shoulder into the head.
TRENDING? 😉
Simmonds should be suspended at least 4 games
Loud to quet creepy
Clean hit, and let them fight for once
On the edge. Not malicious by any means. But, he did push up through the hit, slightly leaving his feet, and hitting the head. Didnt look intentional though.
The idea is not to be going for the head. Body is fine, but not the head. That is where this becomes a cheap shot. Hell, the guy even raised himself up to absorb the impact with his body, but Simmonds still goes up and gets him in the head. Regardless of whether its the shoulder, hand, stick, elbow, whatever, you can't be going for the head! This is definitely a penalty on Simmonds. And no, I am not a die-hard fan for either team…
Nashville needs him. Poile make the trade!
Sad when you can't even throw a good clean hit anymore. Come on!
I don’t think it’s a good idea for anybody on pitt to fight Wayne lmao
Shoulder hit the guy's chin. Didn't look deliberate, but I could still see him getting a game.
Although it was mostly clean, the shoulder to the head miiiiight land Simmons a suspension
As a Flyers fan I just want to say that Flyers fans are garbage and the most classless fanbase in the league
That was a beautiful hit
So , let's just guess Simmonds doesn't get suspended because , ya know , it's Pittsburgh .
Why is this on trending with 98k views
Reading so many Cryers' fans in the comments saying it was clean . You could all be NHL Refs since you are sight impaired .
Clean hit by Simmonds 🦓
The feet left the ice before the contact and the first point of contact was the chin! Simmonds is not a dirty player but that hit wasn't legal!!
Flyers fans booing the player once he gets up. Stay classy Philly.
Damn I’m going to miss Wayne playing for my Flyers.
