Disagree. You can't crumple like a bag of potato chips from some little shove. It's not like his back was to the guy. He was trying to carry the puck out and was shoved from the side. That play was a real bad look for Iorio.
So I agree this was NOT a horrible hit and that Iorio needs to protect himself better, however, it definitely could have been called boarding based on where the player was (4' from the boards) and the onus is on the attacker NOT to hit the player and put him into a dangerous position. The first line of the NHL Boarding rule pretty well applies to this hit:
(Note) Boarding is the action where a player pushes, trips or body checks an opponent causing them to go dangerously into the boards. This includes: Accelerating through the check to a player who is in a vulnerable or defenseless position and driving an opponent excessively into the boards with no focus on or intent to play the puck, or any check delivered for the purpose of punishment or intimidation that causes the opponent to go unnecessarily and excessively into the boards. The onus is on the player delivering the check to avoid placing a vulnerable or defenseless opponent in danger.
(a) A minor plus a misconduct or major plus game misconduct penalty shall be assessed for boarding an opponent. “Rolling” an opponent along the boards where he is attempting to go through too small an opening is not considered boarding.
(b) A major plus game misconduct penalty shall be assessed to any player who recklessly endangers an opponent as a result of boarding.
(c) A match penalty for reckless endangerment may also be assessed for boarding.

« Last post by Mickstix on Tuesday April 23, 2024, 10:57:22 AM Eastern »Similar to the Jensen hit. Bad time/place but nothing egregious, imo. Those boards are dangerous. You have to be aware and do what you can to not take a tumble head/shoulder first, if at all possible. Still haven't heard anything more on Iorio, other than what I posted in the bored thread. (Heard he said "it popped" as he went past the bench hunched over)
And yes Beags, had that been Wilson he'd of probably got a major and review. That's the NHL we have these days.
