Barbashev hit on Mahura – Have your say!



Ivan Barbashev felt Josh Mahura coming and absolutely drove his shoulder into him as he approached. Massive contact. Was it legal? Have your say!

  1. from what I see in slow-mo, its a reverse hit to an unexpecting player who gets caught in the chest by the opponents elbow. I kinda feel like the NHL has to clarify the reverse hit rules because how can it be a reverse hit with no hit to reverse, as in Mahura not initiating (if you know what I mean).

  2. At the time i actually yelled "Elbow" but upon further review it was just a good hard reverse hit.

  3. Good non-call. Mahura made no attempt to stop, Barbie kept his elbow down. Clean but heavy play.
