Everyone critisizes Sutton for his hits. He is a bigger guy than most of the other players, but yes sometimes an elbow can come up, intentionally? Perhaps. Though Sutton stands up on his hits, he doesn't crounch down at the last second, so if you are a smaller guy and you are leaning forward with your head down...yeah, it's going to be your fault. Most of his hits are clean and hard. A few exceptions might occur but was the leopold hit dirty? It was on the edge, both players had responsibilities
@austin62894 Oh, so it's Leopold's fault because he intentionally aimed his own head right at Sutton's elbow which happened to come straight upwards and outwards. Yes, shame on Leopold for not moving his head out of the way for Sutton's rising back elbow. That's some genius material there Austin.
Where the hell else is he supposed to put his elbow?? At the point of impact, his elbow was tucked as close to his body as it could be. Totally clean hit.
He's such a bottom feeder. One more example of what the league cannot afford to have. But, alas, it does in no small number. Fucking Bettman & Company. Ought to all be taken out into a field and shot.
hits like that with the elbow to the face can break a jaw or cringe the neck at worst. its the hits where they are crosschecked from behind or pushed into the boards from behind while chasing tha play into the corner/behind the net and into the boards head first. such as ovechkin's hit. its hockey, and these guys wear protection, so yea, fuck an elbow shit happens!!!!!! pussies... like i said high speed hits from behind where they cant see it coming, then smashing into the boards head first, bad
I bet all you dicks that are saying it was a clean hit, were the same dicks that wanted to tear Cooke a new asshole when he took out whats-his-fuck from the Bruins.
if you acknowledge the evolution on hockey... the sport is gradually becoming much more finesse. why a brute, with an IQ of a third grader who keeps saying expert in the incomplete incorrect manner and never defining what type of expert the reporter is, is not scolded for this type of play is ridiculous. If I wanted to see tough guys I'd turn on the UFC. God cmon, hes so fuckin stupid too.
The Hit was nothing but a clean fucking Hit and might I add this is what makes PLAYOFF hockey great to see a Battle from start to Finish. Leopold Head was down and Sutton just made him pay for it, why do you think your always told "KEEP YOU HEAD UP" someone on the penguins should have shouted a warning to him that sutton was come in FREIGHT TRAIN STYLE
his elbow did not touch leopold dumb ass, if it had any contact with him then he would have been in the locker room because he would have been kicked out of the game so think you fucking goofs.
Geez this retard can't answer a question.Did you know your fucking elbow was up , thats ALL he's not saying he's an expert.What a douche bag. i felt like punching him while watching this.
what a fag. i saw it your elbow was up, sheeze the hit was all clean he just finished his check not to mention he fell backwards into a door when your falling your hands/arm/elbows or whatever youn wanna call it are gonna fly out to catch your fall
ha to the people saying canadians only watch hockey youre very confused. 52% of the players in the nhl are canadian. i live in a city of 30,000 and we field around 60 teams every season for minor hockey (ages 6-17). everyone plays hockey.
Wow, what a dirtbag. Aside from whether the hit was clean or not, he could at least show some concern for the man he injured. This meat-head can't even interect with the press without making a fool of himself. And nice waxed eyebrows.
Well if you knew anything about hockey you'd understand that hockey isn't a one in one battle. If Leopold is dumb enough to be looking at the puck, or worrying about only one of five players in the ice, look out cuz Sutton is always looking for that hit. You must have also missed what I said about players pushing off after a hit. Again I know the game...you think you do...but you don't. Stick to football or baseball.
Americans don't know a thing about hockey. This guy is over 6'5" of course it LOOKS like his elbow was up but what people don't realize is when a hockey player hits someone they push off which is usually done with the arm. That makes it LOOK like the elbow is up. Go back to Fox's glowing puck you retard Americans. Learn the game before you whine like the rest of the Penguins
@dinger09 haha you fucking idiot. i play hockey, i dont just watch it like you canadian wanna be benders. it doesnt matter how tall you are you are in control of your own elbow and you can stop on a dime. sutton blindsides leopold while hes occupied with foligno. that is a cheap shot. good job though to sutton being a douche and answering questions with questions avoided the fact.
No you idiot. YOUR hit on Dupuis was WAYYYYYYYYY worse what Crosby did. You fucking idiot. Ruutu fucking EMBELLISHED his hit and hurt HIMSELF>....you fucking plastered Dupuis' face into the boards...there is a difference. What a TOOL. He clearly doesn't know the difference
i can't stand pittsburgh fans, every pens game the friggin refs call more penaltys on the pens opposing team and the fans still bitch about it. look at all the cheap shots the pens give out, and orpik the americans love him cause hes american and gives all cheapshots and rarely gets called for them. you can respond to this but i really dont give a damn what you have to say
This reporter is full of crap, if he actually looked at the replay and paused at the moment of impact you would see that Sutton's elbow is tucked into his side. Leapold had his head down and wasn't able to brace himself, his fault, he got laid out plain and simple.
Although I wish Sutton could have had a bit more of an intelligent comeback :(
@KVCunknown actually that is the best thing he could have said...the reporter was baiting him...and sutton's not stupid...the reporter was telling him he got his elbow up trying to get him to agree...maybe he wasn't so sure after the heat of the game...but he never admitted that and review of the tape does not support that
@75rmc75 that's true, i guess I just wish he'd come off sounding a little less stand-offish. Maybe if he'd said "I didn't have my elbow up, I don't know how you could have seen that" instead of engaging with the reporter in an antagonistic way.
For those fuckin retarded Americans that think that sutton tried to go for a headshot, need to pull their head out of their asses and watch the replays over and over. Especially that stupid brown town reporter. Biggest fuckin idiot and made himself look like a knob. Good for sutton arguing with him about it and then just walking away.
@VANcnucks1 Please be more specific when calling names because I'm an American and it was obviously a clean hit. Next time send the insults towards the PEN fans who can't accept that it was a clean hit because one of their guys got owned. They often suspend for clean hits though......so only time will tell
Anyone who thinks it was a cheapshot, should go get the sand out their fucking vaginas. Fuck, people think every hit is dirty now, this was not. Leopold was racig up the boards with his head down and he got fucking caught, bad. There was nothing cheap about the hit at all, tired of fucking pussies complaining about everything now.
Leopold should have had his head up, but that is no excuse for the headshot. If you don't think his elbow hit him square in the head look at it again! The NHL is supposed to be getting rid of these cheapshots. That hit had major intent to injure.
if u watch the replay, leopold had his head down, hes been in the league for quite awhile now and an experienced player should no not to skate full speed down the ice with ur head down, sutton came in leading with his shoulder, but he was angled weird and being that leopold was down low to the ice, suttons elbow hit leopolds head but he didnt have his elbow up.
ok first... no we don't all cry in Pittsburgh. i thought it was questionable and we have to listen to the league.. end of story. second... Sutton, you are an ass. the reporter was asking a simple question. keep your cool. seems like somethin was up if you are just avoiding the question.
If the elbow was up as this idiot from the Pittsburgh media claims then the league review would have resulted in a suspension. Is everyone from Pittsburgh a fucking whiner or what?
@pittsburgherrr don't hate him, he is just some idiot reporter. I agree with you though, the hit was obviously not an elbow. They shouldn't have bothered with that 'north south is good, east west is bad' crap because there is no good that comes out of hits like this.
@lawrencetimmons94 Actually, no. It's not the same hit, not in the slightest. Cooke came from behind Savard and cut across, catching only the head of Savard. Sutton came from in front of Leopold, caught head and shoulder, a lot of head, that's not deniable, however it wouldn't have happened had Leopold been watching.
This is a legal check, Cooke's hit was made illegal because Savard had no chance of seeing him, a blindside hit. This was not a blindside.
@heroinburgers I dunno much about icehocky, but if you wanna go fast forward on ice, isn't it better to keep low to lower your centre of gravity so you have more balance?

you can punch a man in the face repeatedly and knock him out but god forbid you lead a check with an elbow and do it
obviously no one wants there star players knocked out but leopold's a defenseman
