Tough call? Do your research! This is generally a MAJOR friggen penalty!! To even up the call is yet another blatant biased call designed to orchestrate a Vancouver loss.
so this was a retaliation cheap shot for sure…Ryan was not happy about the earlier play and rough stuff from Hoglander…this was his way to get back, but really unacceptable in professional sports. He did get called for it, so this doesn't count as a missed call…the question is how bad is this Vs other things we see like punches and hard cross checks after the whistle…
This is a symptom of “playoff calling”, if you are not going to call infractions players are going to adjust and take things into their own hands. Not excusing it, Derek Ryan should be punished, but if you don’t deal with the actual cause you are not going to stop the symptoms.
Except that’s not a spear. That’s a slash. The tip of the blade would have to be the main point of contact for it to be a spear. The shaft is what made contact here. That doesn’t make it any better, but it wasn’t spearing.

Another reason not to let your kids play hockey. U won't have grandchildren.

Ohhhh. NUT SHOT FOR SURE 😂
Should be out for playoffs and 5 games regular season
One of the dirtiest spears ive seen a very long time.
THAT IS NOT A SPEAR! It was the shaft of his stick above the blade. Spearing is using the blade only.
