That's a boarding, elbowing. There was no disciplinary action by the N.H.L.to review the play. The Rangers don't have an Enforcer and they didn't get an Enforcer.
Announcer said it himself… "theres a rule if he goes through the body and then makes contact with the head its a legal check"…. well THATS WHAT HAPPENED…. keep yer head up boys
Fk that this wasn't even dirty, 2 min for boarding at best. His elbow was down and tucked, Motte was facing him, he was looking down instead of at who was coming at him, and Watson followed through on his hit on the guy playing the puck. The announcer is biased af. He didn't "leave his feet" until contact was made, he did elevate his weight upward on approach but thats standard, if you dont do that you become vulnerable to a reverse hit. Motte broke Don Cherrys golden rules, know who's out there and potentially coming at you, and KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. The size difference and Motte looking down is why his head was impacted by arm/shoulder. This is Bias Ottawa fan Bullsht.
Typical rangers not responding to the hit. Not having the manpower or the policeman type player. it's why they'll be bounced out in the first round. No beef. No balls. No sandpaper.

Fucking dirty and cheap he clearly lifted his elbow up and shoulders up to put a high hit. He should get beat with hockey sticks.

What a FPOS!
no suspension lol games a joke
Rangers deserve it. Theyโre the dirtiest team in the league. Not so much fun when it happens to your players is it?
Clean. Stop being soft
Where are these treatments for Marchand?
cannot fucking believe he didn't get punished
i cannot wait to see his ass get fucking humbled soon
This league is still clueless when it comes to head hits. Time to get rid of bettman. Heโs been in charge for far too long
The irony of Trouba, with his laundry list of dirty hits, talking to the refs about this hit. Wish Watson hit Trouba instead of Motte.
I hate the Rangers but that was a clear head shot. No need for that.
Nhl ruled hit to head was unavoidable. I donโt know how but thatโs what they said.
Thats a high hit. Suspension worthy
you can tell he wasn't focused on the puck during that play, what the fuck is that? how is he still in this league?
Good precedent by the league to let a wife beater continue to play. Dude should be in jail.
Hope Watson relapses, what a POS.

Watson straight up looks like a drunk guy
