Niederreiter collision with Kampf – Have your say!



Nino Neiderreiter ran into David Kampf while on a power play. This type of play has turned into a sneaky “pick” tactic used by teams across the league. There’s no doubt there was head contact here. Was it accidental and unavoidable or was it an “accidentally on purpose” move? Tough Call will be reviewing the incident. Have your say!

  1. Incidental. Nino is skating in a straight line and Kampf jumps at the puck carrier at the last moment. Not a penalty.

  2. A completely unacceptable decision of the referees, when a completely clear and intentional foul is left unpunished.

  3. No foul. Nino is watching the puck and skates straight, no intention to make a hit. Kampf is the one who makes a curve, for which reason he crashes into Nino. In the last moment, Nino takes his arm away and tries to avoid a hit, but it is too late.

    Needless to say, hope Kampf gets well soon!

  4. Blatant and non-accidental head hit; in fact, he elevates his body slightly just before he reaches Kampf in order to clock him. How is this not a player safety violation let alone a 10-minute penalty.
