Gotta See It: Calvert breaks his stick across the back of Kuhnhackl
Blue Jackets forward Matt Calvert shows his frustrations late in the game as he cross-checks Penguins forward Tom Kuhnhackl in the back and breaks his stick. To add to the rivalry, the ending of this game saw tempers flare also.
If you’re trying to send a message just drop the mitts or lay a huge hit on someone. Don’t cheap shot because now all you did is piss off the penguins and put a target on your head.
I love how ignorant some people are. 1) The modern hockey sticks break easily. 2) When the stick breaks, it reduces the impact of the crosscheck. Similar to how a broken bat in baseball takes a lot of energy out of the hit. It was actually good for Kuhnhackl that the stick broke. 3) The "hit" after the crosscheck had virtually no force to it. Obviously, it deserved a crosschecking penalty, but the pearl-clutching in this comment section is straight up embarrassing. If this is "the dirtiest play you've seen in a long time" (as stated by one of the top comments with over 1k likes), then you obviously haven't been watching much hockey in that time.
Cry ab the wings beating his ass they know these guys personally there’s more to it then a dirty play but this was too far so yeah go cry ab Tyler bert feeding him from the bench
rward Matt Calvert has been suspended one game for his cross-check to Pittsburgh's Tom Kuhnhackl late in the third period of a Game 2 loss to the Penguins.N
Calvert will miss Game 3 Sunday. The NHL announced the suspension Saturday night.
Calvert received a minor penalty for cross-checking on Friday when he chased down Kuhnhackl away from the play and hit the Penguins forward in the head with his stick, which broke in the process. The NHL Department of Player Safety says it rose to the level of supplemental discipline because it was not a hockey play and fell into the category of message-sending.

Ross Rhea would be proud.
Hockey is so soft now. And the fans are even worse. Crosschecked to the back but he holds his face like he caught a high stick. Which is it?
This was nothing.
Anywhere but hockey that would be assault. These “hockey” players need to grow up. He should be kicked out of the nhl not fined or suspended.
I think he meant to do a cross check but his stick broke
Breaks the stick over his back then goes back for another hit this is worse then Marchand lol

Is nobody gonna beat his ass?
What the hell is this guy on? Calvert is such a d***!
Hey Calvert il l'a pas manqué 😆
And this is why I don't care if Marchand punches Blue Jackets in the back of the head.
Boy, it must suck to be Columbus. Not only can they not beat us in the playoffs, but Crosby has beaten multiple players on their team in fights.
Khunhackl looked fine. Typical Penguin theatrics. They learn it from Crosby.
Who's kuhnackle? Asking for a friend
That’s my nieghbor!
I met Calvert in Denver a day before the avs home opener. He’s a very nice guy.
That’s embarrassing for the pens Calvert life should of ended after that
Clean

That guy didn’t want anything to do with Calvert. What a puss.
Way to make yourself look like a huge D Bag. Your whole team turned into a bunch of 🤡s at the end, get back in your 🤡 car and go back to the circus.
If your gonna lose, lose with pride

Jackets are garbage
Columbus plays dirty when they lose.
It's cool. Who won the 3 playoff series we've played against each other, Columbus?
What a dirty player
Gino would drop Harrington
Cross checking in the NHL is out of hand
How did he only get one game for this….
Calvert is in the top 50 worst players of all time. Buddy needs to simmer down. I hope he got his karma for this
