Probably will be buttttttt don’t know if it necessarily should be. Head is out in front of the rest of the body, bending forward. It’d be first contact point if he ran into a wall….

That dude ran his face right into him. Not his fault. The guy was leading with his head.

Pens fan, and I didn’t think it was intentional. Thought he missed the check and it was just bad luck.

First I want to say I’m not a jets fan at all. Looks to me like the jets player timed that hit wrong, and the penguin player stuck his head out and ran right into him. Had the hit been timed right he would have smoked him right into the boards for likely a suspendible hit.

It always looks worse when it’s in slow-mo.

It could be. It’s unfortunate that the guy got hurt, but it was more that Dillon mistimed the hit as opposed to deliberately targeting the head. Feet were planted, elbow was down, and he didn’t change course at all. If he had been a split second later it would have been a clean hit and they guy would have been demolished.

Why would that be a suspension?

No… watch where you’re going…

He skated into the guy’s shoulder 😂 Absolutely not

If a guy runs head first into the boards does the nearest opponent get boarding call? He ran face first into the guy. They didn’t call a penalty when bedards jaw got broken, I don’t think, for same reason.

Rough hit but doesn’t seem intentionally dirty. He could maybe get a game but with DPS it’s a shot in the dark.
Do we know if he has any prior history of fines/suspensions? That could also be an indication.

Spin the wheel!!

Nope, and and the intended hit would have been way more brutal
SilkyBowner
No, player had their head low.
The guy making the hit didn’t move, didn’t target the head or leave his feet

Just give Tom Wilson 20 games and move on.
usernametakenahhhh
Knowing how George Perros does things, it will be some ridiculous suspension of 5 games
Asusrty
Since most people here are leaning towards no suspension he will get 3 games for spite.

Players with the puck really need to stop skating with their head like this.

I’m going to say no…… as bad as that looks the Winnipeg player committed to lining up that hit and merely put himself in the way against the boards so nowhere to go but deliver the hit and Acciari stumbled a bit so that wasn’t meant to be a headshot.
But… Parros is Parros so who the fuck knows?
Monst3r_Live
no, just a guy who took a strong position and laid a hit. no extension of the arm, he just braced for contact and the result is poor visually.

Should not even be a penalty The Hurt guy ran into Dillon Dillon wasn’t moving

I mean you can’t skate down the wall through the neutral zone with your head down he picked it up eventually but at that point it’s too late

I don’t think so. But who knows these days
