Is water wet?
Simple answer, not dirty but still a penalty
dirty – no, but this is at minimum an inference minor. Should’ve been 5
Dirty? Shady.
Not dirty but definitely a penalty. Almost lost my shit when the ref nearly missed the high stick. Like holy shit DO YOUR JOB
Yes.
No, it looked like he was watching the play and didn’t notice Kampf. A penalty should have been called still, but not dirty.
Dirty? No. Pick? Yes.
Asking for a ref?
Nino Niedanelbowtotheheadereiter.
Probably dirty. It’s Niederreiter. Just because he isn’t watching where he is going doesn’t mean he doesn’t know where he’s going.
Don’t care if it’s clean or dirty.
Just want it acknowledged and reviewed by player safety.
It was a pick and he hit him in the head. It’s a penalty and the league would look good to penalize headshots like that.
Not dirty but still a pick and as we were all told this past summer, that gets called every time
It’s definitely a penalty. It could just be interference, but he does make contact with the head. Is it dirty? I don’t know.
Normal speed I thought they bumped into each other. In slo-mo….look at his arms before he makes contact. His head may be facing the puck, but he brings his arms in for a hit. There’s no surprise reaction either as he runs him over. In cases where it is unintentional, you tend to see the player who initiated the contact caught somewhat off-guard and perhaps stumble.
Penalty? Yes.
Reviewed for head contact by league? Should be. (but won’t, it’s the Leafs).
Dirty? Probably…but grey enough.
There is no reason for the Preds player to be going where he is going. It’s totally interference. It’s a clear and obvious pick. On the pick he makes direct contact with the head. They stopped the play for God’s sake! So they knew it was a headshot. Should have been 5 minutes but not suspension worthy.
Yes
Dirty as it was a bit of a blindside and also it’s interference
2 minutes for running into a figure skater
Dirty? ABSOLUTELY. He straight up follows through on the hit. That’s intentional. That’s dirty…AS fuck!
Maybe yes, but they didn’t initially call it cuz they didn’t catch it so it makes sense it wasn’t a penalty, but it should have been if it was caught when it happened.
More like Kampt ran into him when he turned and wanted to skate. Watch the video. So no, no penalty.
There was certainly no need for the hit. Kampf wasn’t a threat and really wasn’t involved in the play. I would definitely call it a cowardly hit.
Refs: [“Nope, didn’t see anything”](https://i.imgur.com/IxTTp8P.png)
Remember the play when Holl laid a pick against Tampa and the Tavares goal was removed …
Good times.
Somehow this went unnoticed
