Pastrnak hit on Lindgren – Have your say!



David Pastrnak was issued a five minute major penalty for boarding on this hit to Ryan Lindgren. Is a suspension coming? Have your say!

  1. Ridiculous that cozens gets nothing while they give pasta a game misconduct no consistency in this league absolutely pathetic

  2. As soon as you touch the opponent, you go to the end of the match. The NHL is now more of a ballet with the puck. You know hockey is kind of a contact sport. If you're looking down and not watching the game at all like Lindgren, that's your fault.

  3. It is also a textbook charge. Pasta is lucky to not have seriously hurt Lindgren. He skated all the way through the hit, saw Lindgrens numbers all the way and had no other intention than to crush him against the boards. This was dangerous and reckless. Whats up with all these hits from behind this season and players crying after being penalized?

  4. I remember a recent game with a two-handed tomahawk chop to the head after the whistle. This deserves a suspension maybe half as long, right?

    <Waiting for the WNY Whiners fanboys to explain that was 'inadvertent," or some such bullshit.>

  5. They are just getting serious about boarding which is a good thing for hockey. I just wish they had some consistency with the calls.

  6. grotesque, cheap shot on a guy he has targeted ever since Lindgren had the temerity to stop him on a rush last year. Lindgren is a stand-up straight-ahead player with integrity. Pasternak another one of the high-skill, low-ethics bums who wind up wearing B’s Pn their sweaters.

    Five games and $250k. Trying to take out one of the league’s best top pair guys ain’t what pro hockey is about. Garbage man.

  7. Sure it boarding but its not egregious as some people seem to be getting all worked up about. I see worse hits than this go uncalled every game. 2 minutes and move on with the game. This is hockey, not ice soccer.
