Oh and this hit was clean.. He was admiring his pass.. in the neutral zone LOL this isn't AAA hockey.. also see Kronwalls hit on Havlat.. basically same situation.. both clean.. little high but because the head was down normally it'd be shoulder to shoulder
I ran this video over and over again, Brown hit Hudler within 1.0 seconds of the pass. As a dude doesn't give a damn about either team, it looks to me like although it was a bit late, it was no 5-minute and game misconduct hit. Brown got the penalty not because of what Brown did, but the fact that Hudler's head was down and he fell like a sack of potatoes and smashed his head on the ice pretty hard. The public wants answers when guys get hurt, and unfortunately Brown was a scapegoat.
@mvhuber the reason why its five minutes is because of the blood, no matter what happens if you draw blood the player usually gets 5 minutes automatically.
I never watch it either, but this is why the majority of people do. Nobody really cares about the strategy or athletic ability it requires- and this includes the players. A pathetic sport for pathetic people.
yea this was definitaly a clean hit. wasnt a charge, or an elbow or a forearm. didnt leave his feet. also all the wings fans will be like omg he elbowed em. i want them to actually look at the cbc footage of the hit. you can clearly see a shoulder not an elbow. hudlers visor cutting himself and that no time took off the clock. was a clean hit all around. hudler also will learn to look after he makes a shitty pass and mopes around the nutreal zone with his head down.
He's gotta keep his head up in this league. Admiring a pass will lead to trouble and with Brown already committed and Hudler lowering his body into the turn brought out the worst in this hit. This was unfortunate but undeserving of a suspension. Although, if the league wants to be consistent, Brown will miss 5 games (the same sentence as Brashear, although both hits were arguably clean and caused by the other guy admiring his pass).
listen, he was not admiring his hit. in hockey, it is said you never take your eyes off the play. he was trying to read they play. i dont know if it deserves a suspension but if you get a different angle, you can see his stick cuaght his head.
How is it a hit to the head? It was obviously clean. I'm pretty sure only Detroit fans will think this was dirty. Look at every angle. Brown did nothing wrong.
Hudler did come back in 2nd, after he had a bunch of stitches in his face. he wasn't even looking when the guy came over and nailed him in the head with that elbow.
What you said yourself is just the point: "HE WASN'T EVEN LOOKING"... Hudler should know better that you just might get hit when you have the puck... and even after the pass... GO DUCKS!!
Maybe worth a suspension, but the hit looks worse than it was. You see a lot of late hits like this in a hockey game, but usually they result in a guy losing his balance and no more. Hudler had an unfortunate body position, and even then, only a fraction of a second and he doesn't get hurt.
So yes, it's a late hit, but Brown didn't go out of his way for a dirty hit. He probably intended to deliver a normal hit, but circumstances worked against him. That's why you need to avoid hitting late.

dude you sound exactly like brown and the fuckin coach "it was clean, the visor cut his face, blah blah blah" it wasnt
it was a good two seconds after he passed it and brown went straight for his fuckin head, it was def not hudlers fault

He's gotta keep his head up in this league. Admiring a pass will lead to trouble and with Brown already committed and Hudler lowering his body into the turn brought out the worst in this hit. This was unfortunate but undeserving of a suspension. Although, if the league wants to be consistent, Brown will miss 5 games (the same sentence as Brashear, although both hits were arguably clean and caused by the other guy admiring his pass).
*Note, I am not a fan of either of these teams.
