Coyle cup check on Ekblad – Have your say!



Coyle cup check on Ekblad – Have your say!

Mar

Charlie Coyle got his stick up between the legs of Aaron Ekblad. There was no call on the play, but I guarantee you if there was it would be called a slash. Should there be some sort of middle ground penalty between a slash and a spear that accounts for driving the shaft of your stick upward like this? Have your say!

  1. Suspension for sure! What could his excuse be besides being a terrible human…cup checks like that should be penalized by letting the victim have a wack at the offender, nut for a nut leaves the whole world thoughtful… might end that crap…

  2. Always seems like the most weakling move to hit someone in that spot. Takes no guts and no toughness to do.

  3. I think the slashing rule should include the text that any intentional slash to the groin is a major + game misconduct. The IIHF rule book had this but they have removed that text.
