Fight Instigation: Fight Highlights

[Maacoshark]

oh yeah, NO WAY that was an accident🤣


But it was really just message sending, he didn’t do much more push him, if he really wanted to do damage he could of utterly destroyed him

   No and I have no problem with hitting the player that was hurt he made a play on the puck.

oh I know you wouldn’t, but the Habs fans and the “Today’s NHL” folks probably would

   The league is a bunch of pussies.
Which reminds me. I was wondering what everyones opinion is about Matheson getting suspended for his hit on Petterson.
I thought the hit itself was fine. The bodyslam after the hit may have been too much but its nothing more than a roughing penalty. If the guy was more than 175lbs it wouldnt be an issue.
     It looks like the league is going to try to protect the new undersized soft players. Makes me sick. Rush said it correctly. This is the pussification of the NHL.

1.  This was awesome!!!
2.  In no way, shape or form, should that get a suspension, even in a girls 12&under rec league
3.  Looks like Peterson took some hints from Cindy on how to embellish

[DC_1908]

looks like Wood is having an issue with Captains this year. . .




This fight looked way better full speed, but some good shots either way.


Worder if NJ would trade Wood and Mojo for Bura and Connolly. . .?

I could see them calling roughing (like Maaco said), but not suspension worthy.  All he did was throw him down.  What was the two game suspension for?  Was there even a penalty called on the play?

[richkrt99]

I watched it again and Matheson doesn't really body slam the guy.  Peterson was off balance and Matheson just sort of pushes him to the ice.  It's not Matheson's fault the guy was off balance.  It's not like it picked him up and slammed him or even road him to ice driving his elbow into the guy's face.


This is called a good solid check payback for making me look bad skating circles around me 5 seconds ago.

    I agree. At most a 2 minute roughing. BTW the league called it interference/unsportsmanlike like. Wtf is happening to this game?

So I watched the DPS propaganda explanation of this suspension.


What was the injury to Peterson?  The DPS video is much better as slow mo at seeing the hit.  Peterson did not even tap his head on the ice.  How was he injured?  Did he get a shoulder injury?  Did he miss a game?


Getting the wind knocked out of you or getting your bell rung is not an injury (i'm not talking full on concussion here).  I realize we want to protect players and especially the head, but there was no trauma to the head on this play.


The DPS video says "this is not a hockey play".  Um....yes it is.  This is what happens when you are smaller and faster and skate circles around people.....eventually the bigger stronger guys get a chance to catch you.


Are we going to make rules that say the big strong guys are no longer allowed to check the smaller faster guys?


I am not advocating unnecessary violence, but I want my hockey back

     They say he has a concussion. From the replay I never saw his head make contact with the glass or the ice. It is possible to sustain a concussion without contact to the head. Your head snapping back from a collision could do that. I didnt see anything like that here.

it’s also possible to say my “head hurts”, “that light is bright”, or“I just need a quick nap”.


it’s also possible to say “concussion-like symptoms”, without proof of a concussion, and sell it as a concussion.


Or maybe he’s just too soft to play in the NHL?

My guess is if there wasn't that pushing motion it wouldn't have been an issue.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

After watching it five times, I'm surprised the hit from the back isn't the issue there, I know it would be if there was Cap sweater involved.


Concussions can happen from the whiplash too, there doesn't need to be direct contact.

[DC_1908]

Ya gotta love it when the guy who goes to start the seemingly obligatory “after a hit fight”, gets destroyed . (also note the Fighting Souix jerseys in front row)





I wish we had Ferland or one or two like him . . .

[DC_1908]

This is a rivalry that goes under the radar a bit. . .

[DC_1908]

if you’re gonna do something “questionable”, be willing and able to back it up



i’d love to have Clifford on this team

[DC_1908]

These linesman outta be fined and fired



it’s two non-figthers, not Reeves and Tyler Hall.  There’s no reason not to let em go, except maybe feminism
