So Pietrangelo gets hurt from this boarding incident and kings sits for 2 min. Klesla boards some predators player who doesn't even miss a shift and he gets fucking SUSPENDED.
Great call.
He's falling towards the boards because King is pushing him from behind, are you an idiot?
well the kings shouldnt be dirty fuckers
Dought…DOUGHTY
wow…
I can only guarantee that I know more hockey than you, big boy. 😉
Is this a joke? He had blood in his mouthguard. Its called you don't make the hit when the numbers are facing you. This is taught from when you're like 10 and start checking.
Vulnerable, sure. You can say that about any vicious hit though. It was a dumb play. Pietrangelo was ALREADY facing the boards before the hit. That's when you shouldn't hit a man. Or at least brace him with your arm on the boards. Jesus.
Watching Matt Greene score the shorty at the end of this… Makes me so damn happy…
What hit? He never hit him or checked him. Watch again. King pushed him at the line. Then, Pitafulangelo threw himself into the boards. Everyone saw that, even the Vancouver Kuntnucks girls diving team.
Still… he pushed him towards the boards… 5 feet from it. The worst place you can be hit at. This same "push" has inspired suspensions all season long. No reason to change the consistency of the call.
The rule is in place so the heads won't get RAMMED into the boards, either by a cheap shot run, or an accident. DK pushed Pitafulangelo 5 feet from the boards, and this pro hockey player colapsed and crashed super hard into the boards face first. It was a dive all the way. It was an open-ice push. You can't push a player now in the NHL?
I see, Brown scoes and SH and your blows can't score on the 4-min PP, so the push, non-hit (in hockey) is a very bad bad bobo?!?! What sport have you been watching? If you ram someone into the boards by taking a run at him is what they are calling. Not a push from 5 feet from the boards. PaaaaLeeessse!
Sorry, a one-handed push, let go from 2.5 ft from the boards. Watch it.
Have you ever even played ice hockey? You have no idea what you're talking about — hits like these are the most dangerous. Don't call it a "hit" all you want, he still gave him a shove from behind. Go watch the rest of the suspensions this season, and you'll see why he should have been suspended or at least given a misconduct.
What? A shove 5 feet from the boards and pitaful's legs colapses? A dive. How many people get shoved and don't fall down. Heck, players get hit and don't fall down. If he took a run at Pitaful and body checked her into the boards, then that's a penalty. Watch her legs colapse.
I know you're just a kid, but you can do better than blows and pitIful? Or are you from LA? If you are, it explains your lack of creativity.
You are such a moron. I like how you criticize Pietrangelo for diving when your whole team dives just as bad as the Canucks. And there should have been a misconduct or suspension for this!!!!!!!!!
This was one of the biggest plays why the Kings won the Cup. Turned this whole series around. Go back and look what Courtnall did to Storr. and compare. This isn't a dive play, Pietrangelo got hit at the wrong moment.
Magoo and Ms Stelmucky…Go watch a girl's sport if you like a no-contact sport. I suggest become a fan of a girl's diving team, or simply checkers.
Its funny that hes name is King and that he is playing for LA Kings
Should it be a minor or major? Let's see what courtnall got for elbowing storr in 98, yep 2 minutes is good. Had it coming blues fans
