It was a bad hit. Even if the guy is has his head down which he should know better, does not give another player the right to crank him in the head, a totally dangerous play. You can kill a guy like that. He could have taken the body and rocked the guy, taking him out of the play, without potentially scrambling his brains. This is just an attempt to injure. Hockey players nowadays really have no respect for each other.
It is his right to hit the other when his head is down. Look at what stevens did to paul kariya during the cup finals. Same type of hit and stevens wasn't thrown out of the game.
A 5 minute major for interference? These people need to refresh their basic math skills. That was 1, 2 and then boom!!!!!!! This is the bullshit that softens the game. Calling a major penalty on a hit to a guy with his head down!! Keep your fucking head up!!!!!!!! Didn't we all learn that in peewees? Oh what I forgot. Hudler is a Euro fag that probably wasn't introduced to checking till he came over here.
I think they have decided that they don't want a goon squad winning games by injuring all the other team players. I agree with the call, interference, not doubt. hit to the head, no doubt, and I don't care if his elbows were in, it is intent.
get this garbage asshole off my TV. bad enough watching pronger cross check and elbow everybody he can.
lolololol he threw himself into his head way after Hudler passed the puck. It was fucking pointless. If you want to hit someone, at least make it fuckin' relevant.
how so? it was about 1 second after hudler got rid of the puck. and it was all shoulder. no elbows. and the league didnt suspend him. if it was dirty, they would have suspended him. so yes, it was a clean hit.
Debilitating? Carnage hit? Puck was long gone? Barbaric?!?!?
Jeez, what hit were the announcers watching? Keep your damn head up, the hit was clean, the puck was probably only 1 second off his stick, and it was the visor that cut him when he hit the ice.
Ramp up the animosity? After the hit the ref is the furthest away from Brown, and the first one to get to him. There should have been Wings all over Brown, but alas, that's the North American way :)
Sora, yer rite the only thing that counts in the end is what's on the scoreboard. But, hits like these play a mental role on the players. As u would see in the ducks first round selanne got leveled a couple times and was pretty cautious when approaching the puck thereafter. So big hits on a guy like hudler plays a mental game more then just barbaric behavior towards each other. But, I would think hudler had learned after his run in with Phaneuf.
What happened to the good ol'days when hockey was aabout scoring goals and great saves it's all about crap like this and fighting and shit. It's rediculous. He should have gotten the penalty and i've seen Krownwalls hits and he too should be penalized. This is hockey not rugby there's no need for people trying to lay people out hit them with enough force to get the guy off the puck, thats all you need.
What does someone named Sora know about the good old days of hockey? What are you like 12 years old? The "good old days" were full of even harder hits than this with bench clearing brawls. Someone who names themselves after a character in Kingdom Hearts has no business watching hockey anyway, Carebear
Hockey needs these aggresive plays! Without them people would be bored. Besides back in the good old days there weren't just hits, there were full out brawls!
Mrscrile, maybe u should look at kronwall's hit on carter. Broke carter's nose AND kronwall left his feet, now in the rulebook it's said that if I a player leaves his feet, it's considered charging. Are u kidding me. Kronwall has left his feet multiple times and it's only been 2 games! HIT AWAY
Oh come on people. You can't tell me you want hits like this to happen in this great sport. The only thing this will get you is hurt players regardless of what team they're on and bad publicity for hockey. Non-fans will just say hockey is just a boxing ring on ice. We don't need that kind of talk. This was an obvious late elbow to the head. No question. I wouldn't wish this on a Ducks player either. These are hits that end careers. Not fair to anyone.
i still think it looked pretty clean. very powerful but clean. i think the visor cut juri when he got jolted from the impact, not because of an elbow. btw im a sharks fan and the ducks knocked my team out in the first round, so there'd be no reason for me to be biased towards anaheim.
You spend your life learning to play hockey the right way, in Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Canada, you work your ass off to make it to the NHL, then you have to play Jiri, Johan, and Henrik, and Marion, and Thomas, Pavel and the Euro-rules Detroit Redwings and you have to adjust you game to play these different gay-ass euro rules. Hossa's dive in Game 2 was a disgrace and the Ducks get the penalty, Redwings shoudlnt even be in the NHL. Move them to europe where they belong.
rofl, you're a dumbass kid. So you're duck holding him and pulling him to the ground was a dive? you have gotten away with murder this game. you should have 3x the amount of penalties you've gotten.
I gotta say when I first saw this I thought it was a blow to the head but after watching this replay I don't see why this is was 5 and a game. He didn't get his elbow up, didn't get his stick up, looked like a clean body check that was maybe a little late. I could see a minor, or maybe a double minor, but I think the refs dropped the ball on this one.
people need to stop assuming that because his head was bleeding that it was a hit to the head. his bitch visor cut him when he hit the ground... stop listening to what the announcers said and look at the hit, not from the versus angle but from the cbc angle, u will see shoulder to shoulder contact.
ok if the visor is for "bitches" you stand there and let someone in the nhl take a slapshot to your face, if your so tough you should be fine right. Visors are for those that wanna, i don't know, keep their eyesight and faces intact.
it shouldnt have even been a interference penalty it . it was only 2 secs after he passed the puck if the play was at the boards it wouldnt have been called(like eagers hit on rypien was way later) he should have been called for hitting to the head or attemp to injury
MarineCpl don't call others idiot when u make a dumb post such as yours. The whole reason everyone is having this debate is because Hood didn't play with his head up which is hockey 101, he actually turns last seconds and ducks at the last second because it was already to late.
dirty hit, with the forearm/elbow. Doesn't matter if his pass was caught, Hudler didn't have possession of the puck, it was an illegal and dirty hit.
in2hockey21, you're an idiot. Please don't post anymore.
Forgetting about all other rules, with your logic I could make a pass from one goal to the other and I could still get hit if the puck was a foot from the other goal crease?
was not a dirty hit, went to run him over, was bent over and admiring his pass hence the higher contact, the penalty wasnt even a penalty, 5 min for inteference isnt in the rule book!
also, you seem to know nothing about hockey, as to that question yes, you can still be hit up after releasing the puck, whether you ice it or put it 10ft infront of you, the exact time is bit of a grey area
Not a dirty hit, refs suck and bum detroit, and the golden rule of hockey "keep your damn head up"!
Wings fans are such homers. There is no elbow to the head. Period. Watch the freaking tape you homer. Hit pause at the moment contact happens. Brown has both hands on his stick and the hit is shoulder to shoulder. If you are looking for the typical Wings favoritism from the NHL, at least argue that it might have been a LATE hit (maybe). It sure as hell wasnt a elbow to the head.
First of all, the hit is not dirty because of the timing, the hit was dirty because he went for the head, the puck was gone long enough for Brown to avoid the hit, where is the respect? Obviously Detroit is a team of class, instead of jumping Brown they made sure their own teammate was alright. Dirty hit, he deserves a suspension. I don't know why the league didn't give him one.
The little Euro boy needs to keep his head up, if he would have the game would have not even stopped. a few years ago this isn't even a penalty. Go Ducks!
sorry guys but theres nothing wrong with that hit. It was clearly all shoulder and less than 2 seconds after the puck was gone. He cut his face open cause he smoked it on the ice. Thats just called finishing a hit and Hudler has to keep his head up instead of watching his pass. These days in the NHL injury seems to automatically mean misconduct or suspension
I like Mike Brown i think hes a really good defenseman with alot of speed but this hit was bullshit and completely dirty. Also Vancouver taking it? seriously... they can't ride luongo forever
cuz this hit wasnt dirty as fuck. brown was just finishing his hit. if hudler would have turned and seen him, not only would it have been less drastic, but it wouldnt cause such a commotion. it was a clean hit and its part of the game.
bullshit.. less than 1 second after the pass, and hudlers head was down. clean hit. and if there was no suspension from the leauge, it couldnt have been that bad. so definatly makes me mad because i dont even think a penalty shoulda been called. and that penalty got the faggot wings a goal.. red wings being treated like the pittsburgh steelers.. refs want them to win the games
i hate the wings but they deserved the win after that crap. that hit was bullshit there is no reason to hit a guy like that. hits to the head need to pay severe penalties and since he's not getting suspended at least it cost the ducks a game.
Late hit? There was barely one second between the puck leaving Hudlers stick and contact made by Brown.
Charging? nope, he coasted into him. The only strides that were taken were to pursue Hudler while he had the puck. Brown was coasting towards Hudler while he still had the puck.
Headshot? any hit on a 5'10 guy while he's crouching will be high.
Dirty Hit? matter of opinion. Seeing as there was no suspension I guess the NHL didn't think it was
Sure looks like he threw a butt end into the side of his head. This is what is wrong with the NHL. Bring back the goons to keep the mediocre players like Brown in check.
it clearly isnt his shoulder that made contact- if not his elbow, definitely he brought it up and got him with his forearm...why do all these guys cry shoulder, when it almost never is?
Clean hit, dipshit decided to admire his pass with a guy barreling towards him. Only shoulder, no elbow. Plus, he got cut by his visor not from the actual collision.
Admiring the pass is a little much... Looked to me like he was watching to make sure the pass didn't get cut down, so he'd know if he had to get back on it or not.
its been a while since i had a course on rules.. but can't it be considered a charge with how far/ the amount of strides he takes? he pursued hudler from pretty far out, obviously hit him eye because there was a gash beneath his eye. I dunno, i like big hits, but i just felt funny on this one
It is a charge if the person takes 3 strides into the player, but you can see that once brown hit the decal on the ice he stopped actively striding and just glided into him, so it's not a charge, and he was pursuing him because hudler had the puck i'd say :P the reason it looks like a head hit is bcuz hudler was skating with his head down, not because brown had his hands up too high. it might also be the visor that cut hudler. IMO.
You people who are saying this is an elbow.... they have shown the highlight hit like 100 times, their is no way it is an elbow... Its not even a hit to the head... he got his shoulder his face hit the ice breaking his visor and cutting his face... CLEAN FUCKING HIT... all of the analysts agree... no penalty should have been given... Dirty hit?. if you've ever played one second on the ice you know, DONT WATCH YOUR FUCKIN PASS... or you get fuckin smashed, worse,fuckin red wing pussies Ducks in 6
all of the analysts agree? obviously you didn't listen to the intermission show where all of them said it should be two games at the least. that just shows your ignorance.
Ohhhh right... you were probably watching it on versus...right... where americans dont know dick about the game... nice nice... it is those faggot ass americans trying to turn hockey into the russian elite leagues with all of these new rule propositions.... I guess nobody should hit at all.. like a bunch of european faries... your a flat out fag.
i hate arrogant canadian hockey fans. i've never lost a game to a canadian team including Mississauga yet you all think you're the best shit to hit the ice. Please bring the cup back to your country before you talk shit. I guess your whole nation should start sucking vancouvers dick so that can happen.
Fuck man... how did I know you were american... fuckin pussy... put a cage on.. Why dont you compare canadian tallent to american tallent?.... its no contest... I guess we'll see at the 2010 olympics when you guys are out of the medals... Mississauga??? oooo... they're like the top of the top boy... fuckin goof
What the fuck are you talking about... you fuckin dumb hippie tree hugger... fuck I hate hippies... plus you're a woman..= shitty driver and shit hockey... you shouldn't be in this convo... Other countries have yet to dominate Canada at their own game... and when another country steps up, I expect that it will be russia... definately not the US.
I'm American and I'm fine with admitting you guys are better hockey players. =D However you guys have an entire country developing players while we only spit out prospects from a select 8 -10 states or so.
thats true man, nothing against americans or anything its just the douches from america who live near me who are always beaking canada. ps those 8-10 states have more people in them then all of canada haha
pretty sad with all the talent u think u have u were too retarded to make ur own organization, so we had to make the NHL so u had a place to play. dont like it? go cry to a fuckin mounty
I was saying to buddy that stated American hockey players are better because American teams usually win the cup is retarded. If America takes home a gold medal that makes them the better team because it is all American players. NHL teams have a mix of Canadians, Americans and Europeans. So when an team based out in America wins, does not mean Americans are better hockey players.
Tim Thomas (Vezina), Zach Parise (Lady Byng), Bobby Ryan (Calder), Chris Chelios (Masterdon), Ryan Kesler (Selke).. and as far as I know thats all thats named.. Dude, I'm Canadian, but for the love of god, before you shoot your mouth off, dont ask things like that
I wasn't shooting my mouth. Americans do have great players, anyone who says otherwise is an idiot. They have a good chance at 2010. It was the comment of 'Bring the cup back to Canada before you talk shit' that set me off. Past 50 years it's almost dead even as far as American/Canadian teams winning. As far as the awards go, there is a Canadian up for every one I believe, tho the Euros will probably take the most :)
It's really hard to tell from that angle. It looks like he was lining him up with the shoulder but raised his arm up when he hit him.....causing an elbow. It's hard to tell from that angle though. I think it was an elbow though. It's rare you see someone get smoked like that and start bleeding from a clean hit. It was most likely and elbow......
if you count it out in a mississippi second, you cant even say the hole word between the pass and the hit... but let me get this straight... a clean hit on Hudler... Hands down that should be a suspension no questions asked... Johan Franzen DRILLS Hiller AFTER a goal, was not pushed, did not even try to avoid contact, and honestly looked like a pretty good example of a cross-check... but thats fine? Answer this for me... if you guys have a string of shitty seasons, how many people will still go?
motioncity, i believe 4 cups in the last 11 years calls for hockeytown to keep its name until some other team can show the same dominance. as for the hit, i dont think a suspension fits, but the puck was obviously passed there was no need to continue, it was an intent to injure and for that the penalty was correct
As a hockey player, you have to know where the forecheckers are especaily when your going against the flow of the play with a full head of steam. Because chances are your going full speed and the forechecker just turned of his man who made the pass and is also going full speed but in opposite directions chances are the impact will be huge. In fewer words dont watch your pass hudler.
no way was that dirty. If it is matched up with the game clock it is little more than a second after hudler had passed the puck. His elbow comes up after the hit. And as far as a hit to the head hudler was bent over. However brown did seem to elevate be for the hit so there is an argument for hit to the head. I feel like he shouldnt even have gotten a penalty for it.
Noooo, it was dirty, clearly Hudler had made the pass. Brownie should have turned off, and even if he completed the hit, the stank wasn't from the contact, it was from the elbow in the face. Shoulder fine, then it might be a 2-minute for interference. The blatant elbow to the head was the right call. Thus the reason why the Duck's didn't argue it...
hudler is just an idiot. he needs to keep his head up for once. its not brown's fault hockey is a physical game. no suspension, questionable penalty at best
You know what, as a Caps fan, If Brown doesn't get suspended, it's complete bullshit! Brashear got 5 games for a hit that was of the same magnitude. Expect a suspension Ducks Fans
The only difference was that was the second thing in that game that Brashear did to get suspended, and that he turned around and than hit the guy, Brown was going in a straight line. A hit to the head is a hit to the head and Hudler was following the play with his head, but should have been more aware of Brown coming towards him. It looked to me like he targeted the head of Hudler, whether that was his intent or not is known by Brown. Brashear is also a repeat offender that's not named Pronger
lol I don't even know why your in this discussion. The Brashear situation was in no way similar. I also seem to remember Marleau getting a shot against the flames in last years playoffs. Due to the fact marleau lowered his center of gravity he was hit and the head... No penalty was called. Hudler needs to learn to watch for hits. this is no penalty, just as much as this is not a kiddie sport. Brown lead with the shoulder and hudler was leaned over... ""Excuse me i cant hit you cuz your leaning""
how was he head hunting..so what youre telling me is if a guy's head is down you cant hit him anymore? it's hockey. not basketball. its hudlers fault for not following the first rule you learn KEEP YOUR HEAD UP
How is watching the breakout keeping your head down? He was following the play, not "Admiring his pass" as Carlyle so eloquently put it. I am not saying it was a late hit, or an elbow, it was a hit to the head, which is why the penalty, was called, and why a suspension could be issued.
You know what... it was under 3 seconds and it was not an elbow... the ONE thing that matters is that it WAS a hit to the head and OBVIOUSLY that is illegal. Honestly it would have been a clean hit IF Brown would of hit him anywhere but the head, it just happens to be that he DID hit Hudler in the head.
It was not a late hit, and there was no elbow. I changed the description after watching the CBC feed again. What makes this hit dirty, and suspendable, is the fact that Brown went for his head. You are simply not allowed to drive your shoulder into a guy's head like that. I do agree that it was not a late hit, but I do sense a suspension.
the hit was LATE! the puck was nowhere near him. it was on the other blue line when he got hit! Though it wasn't an elbow, it was still a cheap blindsided hit. He deserves his penalty and suspension if he gets one b/c it was an intent to injure. Red Wings are going to beat Anaheim anyways!
It was not a late hit. They only show you the replays in slow motion, never real speed. It's a slower timeframe, which therefore provides the illusion of a late hit. It was a legal hit. It was only illegal because Brown hit him in the head. Otherwise, the hit was clean. No elbow, and no late hit.
clean hit, idiot had his head down took a nice beauty of a check (top ten for sure hudler needs to go to his bench and tell his coach he got jackkkked uppp)...but i understand he has a ducks jersey on so anything they do is dirty and its a must to protect the red wings from any contact in this CONTACT sport they play

people need to stop assuming that because his head was bleeding that it was a hit to the head. his bitch visor cut him when he hit the ground... stop listening to what the announcers said and look at the hit, not from the versus angle but from the cbc angle, u will see shoulder to shoulder contact.
dylpickleboy 2 years ago
ok if the visor is for "bitches" you stand there and let someone in the nhl take a slapshot to your face, if your so tough you should be fine right. Visors are for those that wanna, i don't know, keep their eyesight and faces intact.

"5 min for inteference isnt in the rule book!"
Rule 56.4 Major Penalty - The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a major
penalty, based on the degree of violence, to a player or goalkeeper
guilty of interfering with an opponent (see 56.5).
56.5 Game Misconduct Penalty When a major penalty is imposed
under this rule for a foul resulting in an injury of an opponent, a game
misconduct shall be imposed.

it shouldnt have even been a interference penalty it . it was only 2 secs after he passed the puck if the play was at the boards it wouldnt have been called(like eagers hit on rypien was way later) he should have been called for hitting to the head or attemp to injury
ahya642 2 years ago
MarineCpl don't call others idiot when u make a dumb post such as yours. The whole reason everyone is having this debate is because Hood didn't play with his head up which is hockey 101, he actually turns last seconds and ducks at the last second because it was already to late.
foru2nvsti 2 years ago
dirty hit, with the forearm/elbow. Doesn't matter if his pass was caught, Hudler didn't have possession of the puck, it was an illegal and dirty hit.
in2hockey21, you're an idiot. Please don't post anymore.
Forgetting about all other rules, with your logic I could make a pass from one goal to the other and I could still get hit if the puck was a foot from the other goal crease?
MarineCpl0311 2 years ago 2
was not a dirty hit, went to run him over, was bent over and admiring his pass hence the higher contact, the penalty wasnt even a penalty, 5 min for inteference isnt in the rule book!
also, you seem to know nothing about hockey, as to that question yes, you can still be hit up after releasing the puck, whether you ice it or put it 10ft infront of you, the exact time is bit of a grey area
Not a dirty hit, refs suck and bum detroit, and the golden rule of hockey "keep your damn head up"!
1manband25 2 years ago
Wings fans are such homers. There is no elbow to the head. Period. Watch the freaking tape you homer. Hit pause at the moment contact happens. Brown has both hands on his stick and the hit is shoulder to shoulder. If you are looking for the typical Wings favoritism from the NHL, at least argue that it might have been a LATE hit (maybe). It sure as hell wasnt a elbow to the head.

First of all, the hit is not dirty because of the timing, the hit was dirty because he went for the head, the puck was gone long enough for Brown to avoid the hit, where is the respect? Obviously Detroit is a team of class, instead of jumping Brown they made sure their own teammate was alright. Dirty hit, he deserves a suspension. I don't know why the league didn't give him one.

sorry guys but theres nothing wrong with that hit. It was clearly all shoulder and less than 2 seconds after the puck was gone. He cut his face open cause he smoked it on the ice. Thats just called finishing a hit and Hudler has to keep his head up instead of watching his pass. These days in the NHL injury seems to automatically mean misconduct or suspension

brlegend 2 years ago
Late hit? There was barely one second between the puck leaving Hudlers stick and contact made by Brown.
Charging? nope, he coasted into him. The only strides that were taken were to pursue Hudler while he had the puck. Brown was coasting towards Hudler while he still had the puck.
Headshot? any hit on a 5'10 guy while he's crouching will be high.
Dirty Hit? matter of opinion. Seeing as there was no suspension I guess the NHL didn't think it was

its been a while since i had a course on rules.. but can't it be considered a charge with how far/ the amount of strides he takes? he pursued hudler from pretty far out, obviously hit him eye because there was a gash beneath his eye. I dunno, i like big hits, but i just felt funny on this one
avebabe 2 years ago
It is a charge if the person takes 3 strides into the player, but you can see that once brown hit the decal on the ice he stopped actively striding and just glided into him, so it's not a charge, and he was pursuing him because hudler had the puck i'd say :P the reason it looks like a head hit is bcuz hudler was skating with his head down, not because brown had his hands up too high. it might also be the visor that cut hudler. IMO.

I was saying to buddy that stated American hockey players are better because American teams usually win the cup is retarded. If America takes home a gold medal that makes them the better team because it is all American players. NHL teams have a mix of Canadians, Americans and Europeans. So when an team based out in America wins, does not mean Americans are better hockey players.

It's really hard to tell from that angle. It looks like he was lining him up with the shoulder but raised his arm up when he hit him.....causing an elbow. It's hard to tell from that angle though.

if you count it out in a mississippi second, you cant even say the hole word between the pass and the hit... but let me get this straight... a clean hit on Hudler... Hands down that should be a suspension no questions asked... Johan Franzen DRILLS Hiller AFTER a goal, was not pushed, did not even try to avoid contact, and honestly looked like a pretty good example of a cross-check... but thats fine? Answer this for me... if you guys have a string of shitty seasons, how many people will still go?
OnTheFly0809 2 years ago
motioncity, i believe 4 cups in the last 11 years calls for hockeytown to keep its name until some other team can show the same dominance. as for the hit, i dont think a suspension fits, but the puck was obviously passed there was no need to continue, it was an intent to injure and for that the penalty was correct
jammin1433 2 years ago
As a hockey player, you have to know where the forecheckers are especaily when your going against the flow of the play with a full head of steam. Because chances are your going full speed and the forechecker just turned of his man who made the pass and is also going full speed but in opposite directions chances are the impact will be huge. In fewer words dont watch your pass hudler.
godfather7458 2 years ago
no way was that dirty. If it is matched up with the game clock it is little more than a second after hudler had passed the puck. His elbow comes up after the hit. And as far as a hit to the head hudler was bent over. However brown did seem to elevate be for the hit so there is an argument for hit to the head. I feel like he shouldnt even have gotten a penalty for it.
godfather7458 2 years ago
Noooo, it was dirty, clearly Hudler had made the pass. Brownie should have turned off, and even if he completed the hit, the stank wasn't from the contact, it was from the elbow in the face. Shoulder fine, then it might be a 2-minute for interference. The blatant elbow to the head was the right call. Thus the reason why the Duck's didn't argue it...

bingoworld 2 years ago
The only difference was that was the second thing in that game that Brashear did to get suspended, and that he turned around and than hit the guy, Brown was going in a straight line. A hit to the head is a hit to the head and Hudler was following the play with his head, but should have been more aware of Brown coming towards him. It looked to me like he targeted the head of Hudler, whether that was his intent or not is known by Brown. Brashear is also a repeat offender that's not named Pronger
Zeoalchemist 2 years ago
lol I don't even know why your in this discussion. The Brashear situation was in no way similar. I also seem to remember Marleau getting a shot against the flames in last years playoffs. Due to the fact marleau lowered his center of gravity he was hit and the head... No penalty was called. Hudler needs to learn to watch for hits. this is no penalty, just as much as this is not a kiddie sport. Brown lead with the shoulder and hudler was leaned over... ""Excuse me i cant hit you cuz your leaning""

How is watching the breakout keeping your head down? He was following the play, not "Admiring his pass" as Carlyle so eloquently put it. I am not saying it was a late hit, or an elbow, it was a hit to the head, which is why the penalty, was called, and why a suspension could be issued.

You know what... it was under 3 seconds and it was not an elbow... the ONE thing that matters is that it WAS a hit to the head and OBVIOUSLY that is illegal.

predatorsww2 2 years ago
It was not a late hit, and there was no elbow. I changed the description after watching the CBC feed again. What makes this hit dirty, and suspendable, is the fact that Brown went for his head. You are simply not allowed to drive your shoulder into a guy's head like that. I do agree that it was not a late hit, but I do sense a suspension.
macattack82991 2 years ago
the hit was LATE! the puck was nowhere near him. it was on the other blue line when he got hit! Though it wasn't an elbow, it was still a cheap blindsided hit. He deserves his penalty and suspension if he gets one b/c it was an intent to injure. Red Wings are going to beat Anaheim anyways!
Asskicker624 2 years ago
It was not a late hit. They only show you the replays in slow motion, never real speed. It's a slower timeframe, which therefore provides the illusion of a late hit. It was a legal hit. It was only illegal because Brown hit him in the head. Otherwise, the hit was clean. No elbow, and no late hit.
