Yes, it’s an incredibly dirty hit. Dunn had his back to him the whole time.
SnooOpinions8755
Absolutely, if that’s not intent to injure I’m not sure what is.
IrishICEE
Yes. Shouldn’t have to even ask
snowmagedone
Is this Paros asking?
paul-cus
Not even a question
Tireseas
Absolutely. That sort of dangerous play has no place in the game.
dawggawddagummit
I’d like to see someone try to argue why this SHOULDN’T be a suspension. This is like someone running a red light and t boning the car in the intersection.
EvidenceAlive8688
It’s a very dirty hit but wtf is Dunn doing. It looks like his controller disconnected
icecube2210
Yep, not his brightest moment
theFreinerthings
Guy wont fight because he has concussion history but does this?
‘Kick him off the tour, Doug!’
JacobsLawFirm
It appears as though he caused the player to hurt his neck and the damage was done instantaneously. Suspension without a doubt, though that punishment is not going to help the injured player.
Mahonneyy123
Gettin suspended
csonny2
Suspension?! Kick him off the tour!
ycorvic3
Yes, absolutely is.
FarewellFix
I’d say absolutely yes. But I’d also like to add, it may of been Torts (who I cannot stand but agree with him on this) said players are not putting themselves in position to protect themselves. They’re not ready to take hits anymore or skate while being safe. I played all the way through College, I’m 37 now. There is absolutely no way back in High School and College I’m not completely aware of my surroundings and sitting that far off the boards while holding the puck. There’s just no way, I’m not putting myself in a dangerous spot because I know someone is gonna lay a hit on me any second.
That does not excuse this hit, that player was looking at his numbers and knew better, but the dude who got hit also cannot just be standing there like that. Regardless I’d say that’s worthy of a 2-3 game suspension. That was a stupid hit and extremely dangerous.
KeepItSimpleSir22
5 and a game. No doubt.
It’s impossible to decide on intent. Because for a brief second it looked like 29 was going away from the net.
But what I would add games on for is the hands above the elbows.
Why can’t these young guys keep the hands and sticks down.
I’d say at least 3-5 games if first suspension. 10+ if second or more.
No_Pilot8753
100% and I’m a flames fan, two hits like this in the game. He had another one just like this earlier in the year. He reminds me of Garnett Hathaway, or Tkachuck without the skill. I hope he learns before someone knocks him out of the league with another concussion.
keb5501
No room for hits like this in the nhl , or any league.
LiberalTugboat
Yes
Flesh-Tower
Didn’t Larson do the same thing and get nailed the same way.
rossco311
Wow, that’s got to be at least 5 games, saw the numbers the whole way and never let up, I hope Dunn is okay.
soufboundpachyderm
Why wouldn’t it be? Looks like a clear hit from behind at the very very least. Definitely looks like intent to injure to me.
Crandall0607
Dunn, don’t put yourself into that position where you are vulnerable.
In my opinion ugly hit and suspension, but I remember on podcast that talked about players that get rarely hit dangerously because they are good for postioning themselves on the ice. I think they highlighted Patrick Kane how good he is avoiding and taking hits.
Don’t trust on rules, referees and opponents respect. Take care yourselves
spinorama29part2
Should dunn have protected himself better? Sure. Absolutely. But i dont fuckin care if he did or not you cant check a guy right to the numbers. Especially with his head down. It’s not necessary. It’s dangerous. It doesnt belong in the game. Suspension worthy for sure
Ofiotaurus
Why are you even asking? Dunn had his back turned the whole time and was some 3 feet away from the board, serious chance for an injury and an incredibly dirty hit. Should be a multiple game suspension.
myfacealadiesplace
If that’s not a suspension then nothing is. There was absolutely no reason to drill him into the boards like that. I’d be pretty pissed if he got less than 6 games for that
trevlarrr
Aside from Lyubushkin being closer to the boards can someone tell me what’s the difference between this and the Rempe hit at the weekend that got no call?

What exactly is the correct play for the Calgary defender here?

Yes
CarefulSubstance3913
For sure is. I just don’t really understand what Dunn was doing?
Ok-Knowledge-9776
It was a dirty hit and it should get Pospisil suspended.
It is Pospisil’s fault. But Dunn should also protect himself better and shouldn’t be standing like that 1-2m away from the boards: looking at the boards. That makes him super-exposed, and totally unaware of his surroundings.
brownietownington
Quit asking passive-aggressive questions and make a statement.
throwmeaway_6996
No worries, Trouba and Marchand already received a fine for that.
krob58
Watch Gourde get suspended for two more games instead.
rocketmn69_
Rempe on Lyubushkin didn’t even garner a penalty when he charged him and left his feet, the other night Lyubushkin is out with a head injury. No penalty on the play and no word of a hearing
Ta-veren-
isnt this the same hit that rempe landed on a leaf player and nothing was called?
Minimum_Possibility6
Yep this is text book throw book at the player.
Don’t want to see these hits at all
Daverr86
Man.. he had so much time to think twice about completing that hit.
Suspension for sure.
Parking-Shelter7066
sorry to harp but this is why I think fighting should remain, if guys can’t fight and protect their line then they’re gonna retaliate to hits like this with more dirty hits.
fisticuffs it is, baby
LaptopHobo468
If it isn’t, I don’t know what is
themob34
He deserves a jaw suspension for blindly boarding the guy.
this_name_not_that
Anyone defending this hit is a complete idiot.

Game Misconduct, and a 5 Game Suspension.
OneNutPhil
Yes, will it get one? Better hope there’s been a lot of social media uproar
harman097
Yes, 100%.
Also, wtf is Dunn doing?
Guys are intentionally exposing their backs, at this point, to try and draw penalties. I don’t know what the solution is – I can’t even say for sure that this is an example of that – but it’s a pretty big problem.
