Steen with a blatant charge but kind of a salty move by Johnson
The commentator deserves a body-check
What's the penalty for? Being taller than the other guy? Lol
That’s not elbowing, soft ass misconduct
These guys are total homers
To all of you saying it's a weak call etc, did you not see the same play where he puts all his weight into an elbow aimed at Steen's head?
Johnson didn’t do anything wrong
God I love the blues. Big Eds not backing down and Petro finally getting involved in some of the between the whistle stuff. Love it keep it coming
Wtf. Colorado is getting screwed by the refs.
The two hits were almost the same though.
Blooooos suck
NhL turning as soft as a twinkie filling
The first hit was 150% clean, but the second one makes that fool look like an immature child. It’s so unnecessary (and I’m not even a Blues or Avalanche fan) -.-
3 games
Blues punching him like they wish they never picked him 1st overall
ERIK JOHNSON FOREVER THE 2006 DRAFT BUST
Next well have women playing in this pussified novice league.
That was not elbowing. Shoulder to a lowered opponents head.
God this league is pussified lmao. Thanks to a “certain player” who couldn’t stay healthy during the early 2010’s…this league is so rigged lol.
Game misconduct for playing real hockey not 2 hand touch hockey
What's with everyone getting all angry after clean big hits this year?
Watching both hits several times now Johnson’s was late “retaliatory” but by no means an elbowing at most maybe a wristing, steen on the other hand would be closer to an actual elbow seeing as he followed through with his elbow
Sure the guy fell down to elbow level just before the hit but he kept his elbow tucked and didn’t leave the ice nor make an attempt to aim for the head. Clean hit, not misconduct worthy. Not penalty worthy. Only penalties should be towards the other team for going after him.
I think that was more of an interference penalty than an elbow
FOUR PUSHES!!!! LOOK OUT GUYS IT'S GONNA BE A ROUGH ONE
That was indeed a hit to the head.
Thank god the NHL is having some toughness back. Just throw the mits off and start fighting f the refs.
