Okposo hit on Draisaitl

Kyle Okposo hit Leon Draisaitl heading toward the puck. 50/50 battle or interference?

  1. Nothing to see here. Move along. Hey even Draisaityl saw him coming & tried to brace himself by tensing up his shoulder & leaned towards a fast approaching Okoposo.

  2. Clean?!? Y'all are crazy if you don't think it's interference. The hit itself is fine, it's when he was hit.

  3. Leon,for his size is a puppy,good hit ,we don’t need anymore referees ,we have enough,it is a contact sport,it is the playoffs,it is hockey,Mc David is one cool dude!Punched,high stocked,cross checked,just takes it in stride,I have the ultimate respect for him,the rest of his team has to show up,like they did Saturday,and cross your fingers,about Skinner!They need to win Tuesday,or Saturdays win means Nothing!

  4. Another not tough call. Simple interference. Would have been an elbow to the face if Leon hadn't got his arms up fast enough. Just more dirty hits by Florida. The only kind they know.

  5. Oilers fans are funny. Like, this is exactly the same as that 'Nurse crumples Tkachuk' hit, but somehow, this one is "obviously interference" whereas that one, they're surprised Tkachuk wanted a call. Both hits are 100% clean if you don't consider the puck, but both are 100% interference if you do. So other than jersey colors, what's the difference?

  6. 50/50 puck, Leon makes initial move as if he's about to play it, Okie is already committed to the hit. No penalty.

    Here's a box of tissues, Canada. Seriously, it's like the entire country forgot how hockey is played.

  7. I think part of the tough call is Leon had not touched the puck yet. No puck possession a hit like that is interference. It looks like a beauty hit technically for sure.

  8. As soon as Leon saw him coming he slowed down because he knew there was a hit coming no interference there just pussyritus

  9. Hard to call that interference when Draisaitl turns into the path of the Okposo and braces himself for the pick.
