He took his role model Wideman too seriously
if dunn isnt looking down the hit is fine imo and i think it was a deserved major but not a suspension
Dumb & Dirty! Potential Bruins signing
Wasnt on the numbers he hit the Side
Why dunn just stay with puck? I am sorry but player just stay with puck near the boards and pospisil see he dont want play so dirty hit come, i not say pospisil is inocent but dunn also have guilty what is he await?
World's most obvious 5 + game + hearing
It was not poposil’s first hit from behind in the game.
It’s not his face he was holding, it’s his neck. I’m glad to see Matty went berserk on Pospisil for Dunner after Dunner did the same with Sillinger.
Charging bigtime ontop of boarding
Goons coming back around is not good. It takes 1 hit to ruin a man's life and career, for what, winning that play? Moves like this should be dealt with harshly. Moves like the 2 handed axe chop to Leon Draisaitl or the cross check to the face in the recent Grieg incident. Stuff like this is malicious and has no place in pro hockey. We have the talent we have today because we did away with the enforcer era
There’s a difference between turning at the last second and this …. Dunn was in a vulnerable position the whole time.
Clean hit!
This should be at least 5 games.
I don't want to defend Pospisil, cuz the hit was hard. But try to look at it at the slowest speed possible, I noticed how bad the play was from Dunn. He received the puck stationary and after that, he could go both sides, but he stayed at the same place completely ignoring the way of the biggest threat, not only that, but turning his back that way. It reminds me of how bigger kids play against the smaller cuz they can't be hurt. I also noticed Pospisil didn't do any steps or acceleration movement at least 3-5 meters before the hit – he just had a high speed. The point of contact wasn't his back but his arm. Even his stick and hands weren't high. You cannot expect physical players at the highest level who earned their place through hard work and dedication in every shift and hit to solve your big mistakes, especially opponents. Pospisil should have gone easier or brake, I don't know.
Reminds me of Rempe hit, let's see what happens
Anyone defending this hit has low IQ.
That's not smart, Pospisil…
So If you just stand with your back to the play you can't be hit, got it
The first one was questionable, but this one was totally deliberate. Probably should catch a 2-3 game suspension. Guy was completely stationary, there was no miscalculation on the hit.
Where's the respect that the players always talk about?!
Suspend him for the rest of the season.
Vertebrae fracture incoming for Dunn, I feel for him. Pospisil should learn to hit in order to steal the puck, not just lay the guy in the board and watch him black-out.
