ive seen a clipping call once before, nice to see it pulled out today, dont know why he didnt just go shoulder to shoulder its not like mesj woulda gotten droped cus tyrel was offbalance after taking the shot, owell

@ILockItDown no reason not to go for the hipcheck here, he just went too low, it happens

[ILockItDown]

@NHLArchive shoulder to body would have been a harder hit imo, hip check isn't to effective when the opposing player doesnt have enough speed i think

@ILockItDown look at the way Tyrell went ass over teakettle, same thing would have happened had Meszaros gone above the knees, which I view as pretty effective

@MultiPse nhl hates the flyers

OMG ... WTF... its a clean body check !!! where the penalty here ?!

[hydr5]

a little higher and Tyrell hips act as a better fulcrum

[ChopperCity47]

not a clean hit, dirty thats the new rules mezzy got penalized for it because its not legal

[seakid123]

That was a clean him check, any higher it would have been useless, perfectly executed.

A damn shame teams who can't play real hockey like Tampa Bay go after a guy after a clean hit.

Down by a goal with three minutes left, Tyrell dumping the puck for a line change, and Mezaros squatted so low his forehead 'bout touched the ice. The added two minute "misconduct" was the equivalent of a Dinozzo slap for his bad judgement.
