It was intent to injure shoulder to head yea no intent. Dillion will be suspended for 3 games
If Dillon is in the lineup he will be scrapping with Ludwig as soon as he steps on the ice š¤·š»āāļø!
He has a history of injuring players so this isnāt his first time!
The league's "player safety" is a joke. A bunch of clowns.
The dude was locked on to Noal's head the whole way. Plenty of time to adjust course, i dont care how fast the play is.
That should have easily been a hip check, no head contact, cancel him into the boards. Instead he tries to decapitate him. League wont but should be firm about these hits. I'm not sure why more defenders or players in general don't use the hip check? Oh, right, its because they know they can get away with throwing fore arms and head shots.
Im sorry but what game was u watching,,its clear he knew what he was doing.an who the hell in the pens line is going to retaliate??? They cant get people to hit anyone
Yinz KNEW as soon as Smith & Ludvig came back SOMEONE was going downā¦ā¦my money was on Rustyā¦ā¦.
Pens can NEVER stay healthy.
Sick, lame, and lazyā¦.
Blind, crippled, and crazy.
I hope Ludwig is in the line-up. Not to fight, necessarily, but to put a huge hit on Dillon or someone else. Karma is a bi!ch
Note: Dillon is 6 inches taller than Noel. He lowered his shoulder and turned into Acciariās jaw/head/neck region. Iām suprised His neck didnāt heād broken. If Dillon took a better angle on the play and didnāt lower his shoulder then it would have still been a bit hit and a clean play. Dillon doesnāt give a sh!t. Heāll gladly take the suspension
They better insert ludvig for sat if he is healthy enough to go. Plus POJ doesn't have it.
Dillon wasn't aiming for Aciari's head, but he was DEFINITELY head hunting. Regardless of whether or not it was an accident, he was looking for what he found.
this is a huge hit to the lineup. Who else in the lineup or potential lineup has what he brings to the table? no one…
Hoping Aciari finds himself on the path of health first and foremost, once again @insidethepenguins you're right on point! Massive loss!
If you watch the hit, Dillon rises up to hit Acciari. He elevates upward right at the time of the hit. Maybe not intentional, but damn…this is the crap that needs removed from sports/hockey.
