  1. I liked Rinaldo when he was a flyer but i hope he at least gets something for this. He should know better by now

  2. It's ok the game misconduct maybe but I don't think it needs a suspension. I remember Nesterov hit… 😀 😀

  3. Fucking Bruins fans that liked this signing. I show you exhibit A. I called this since he was signed. Zac will get looked at for a suspension. Didn't think it would be three weeks in the season. What a shit game. Now we are leading the league in scoring. Yet our goals against is 29th.

  4. I just don't see the issue with this hit. Rinaldo didn't aim for the head, didn't leave his feet, didn't even seem to really try to hit him all that hard. Couturier wasn't looking so it was sort of a blindside hit but he had the puck so he's open to being hit. If you insist on giving him 2 minutes fine, but I feel Rinaldo's reputation earned him the game misconduct. If another player makes that hit I doubt they get more than 2.

  5. I hate Rinaldo, but… I don't think he targeted the head, wasn't absurdly late. In reality, Couturier was too busy admiring his pass and got blasted. Sometimes, and i know it's not popular to say anymore, but the person being hit is equally as responsible as the person doing the hitting.

  6. The sooner the game is without goons like Torres and rinaldo the better. Dude can't even play the game

  7. Soooo late. Puck was long gone brutha. Rinaldo didn't even look for the puck. I remember in training camp Couturier's rookie year Rinaldo hit him with a cheap shot. That video is up on YouTube as well. Maybe some kind of beef

  8. I'm a physical game type of guy but I can't just accept this from Rinaldo. Hopefully he doesn't do anything stupid again for this team

  9. goood angle is at the 0.26 mark, the max time allowed to hit a player after they no longer have possession of the puck is 0.6 seconds in the nhl rulebook,,,,,, if you replay from the time the puck left courturier's stick and the time of rinaldos impact… its a little over a second.. almost two seconds. ILLEGAL

  10. Kinda funny seeing Bruins' fans trying to defend Rinaldo even though he makes the team even worse than it already is. Had he been suspended, it would have actually improved your team, this guy is garbage. Instead, Julien will continue to play him. Have fun with that, lmao.

  11. This is the problem with hockey violence advocates…..you people all claim "he had his head down", "he should've been looking up", you replace a hockey player engaged in the game with a violent hit and you actually justify for those reasons I just mentioned? What the hell kind of game do you want?
    Tell you what, start a UFC hockey league so that you can orgasm over hockey players beating the shit of each other, if not killing each other. The NHL was stupid to tolerate a wackf@&$! like Rinaldo so it's their fault, but you sickos who enjoy this crap, which in real life if you tried it would get you arrested, you are too ruining the game.
