In playoff terms, that is one game. League needs to enforce these plays that are possible career enders. Promote a fast game but allow these? Not acceptable.
It’s out there because he 6’6” and clearly going for a clean check/stoping to change direction so he has to lower his body and widen his stance for stability! Oiler fans just looking for excuses
its hauge's job to take the body… moments before the check, hyman cuts into hague… there is going to be knee-on-knee contact. was this hagues fault? hague does all he can… he elevates his skate off the ice and rotates so they arent flipping a coin as to which one wont skate for the rest of the season.
by the book, this is a hague penalty… textbook penalty. imo, its hyman's fault. thank goodness noone was hurt.
no suspension. no fine. and if you watch it in real time, i'm not even surprised there wasnt a call on the ice.
acting like hague protecting both players by elevating his leg is some kind of agregous thing is absurd.
How about take the check instead of trying to jump out of the way or turning your back when guys are trying to finish the check on the boards. People soft and don’t know how to take a hit causing weak ass league. Sportsman hockey will be the new NHL with no body contact
Bad analysis here. Hyman made a terrible cut that was definitely NOT going to get him around the dman. There was not way Hyman was going around the other player. There was also no way a 6'6" 230 lbs dman can make himself small, shrink-away from an opponent cutting inside like that.
This was textbook interference regardless and should've been called on that. I don't know if the knee was intentional, but the non call is the worst part.
NHL really need to do more to stop the knee on knee hits…its getting out of hand. So many injuries from this kind of crap…and Hyman is now injured from this.

these dudes gotta just take the hit and stop jumping out of the way. they’re putting themselves in these dangerous situations by doing so.

Needs to be a penalty (none was called) but I don't think it warrants a suspension.
