Love that Durzi took care of stuff himself. He was pissed about a hit & immediately took on the guy who hit him. Wish we still had Durzi in L.A.– he is a never-quit kinda guy.
What the talking heads miss completely is that Vatrano never let up for one second, and his intent was to slam Durzi through the boards! Itās this kind of needless, unnecessary play thatās going to get somebody killed one of these days or cripple and end someoneās career! The announcers are fretting about an instigator penalty? Give your head a shake! Durzi could have been maimed on this play.. Hockey is an incredible game, but there is no place and no need whatsoever for Vatrano to crush Durzi into the boards. I donāt blame Durzi for giving it to Vatrano. I just wish he would have beat the crap out of him in order to make him think twice next time. If I was the ref, my call would have been: Vatrano a five minute Major for boarding and a game misconduct for intent to injure. There should be a disciplinary meeting and Vatrano should be suspended a minimum of three games. He would be forced to forfeit his salary for the three games.
Durzi should get a two minute penalty for roughing.
Hurt Vatrano in the pocketbook and penalize the Ducks by giving the Coyotes a three minute advantage.
If the NHL doesnāt come down hard on this kind of dangerous hit (it made me wince when I saw it), theyāre only encouraging more of its ilk.
Iāve played hockey my entire life. You can play hard, and you can play tough without gutless, backstabbing hits like Vatranoās on Durzi.
When I watch hockey, I mute the TV so that I donāt have to listen to the mindless babble of the announcers.
Iām a hockey fan. Iām not a Ducks, Coyote, Rangers, or a fan of any team. Itās the game I love, not the teams that play it.

Iām disgusted by Vatranoās cheap shot!
These announcers love the instigator…goofs
Anyone else notice Vatrano's skates weren't on the ground as he sat down on the box? Ha!!
Durzi should have put himself into a better position to take the hit. On the other hand nice that he took matter into his own hands.
No boarding?instagator?his head bouncing off the boards,thats instagating.stupid calls in the new era of hockey.
Did Vatrano seriously chrip on way to box after getting man handled?!?!
That was a clean hit
Surely Durziās team won the game
These announcers are a joke. Why no game misconduct for hit from behind for Vatrano?
Durzi shouldāve been the winner, and Iām glad he was.
