Cole hit on Robertson – Have your say!



Ian Cole delivered this hit on Nicholas Robertson, another open ice hit this game. And another response fight, this time by Max Domi.

What do we think of the hit? Have your say!

  1. If Nick hadn't seen him, it could have easily been a head hit. Luckily, he got his arms up.

  2. I think Cole did a pretty good job making sure he didn’t get Robertson up high, especially considering there’s a height difference. Clean.

  3. Big clean hit and got a power play out of it. Kind of annoying when guys who throw clean hits get jumped

  4. Good hit clean hit, nice to see Domi stick up for the rookie. I don't like fights after clean hits, but when a rookie get flattened, its good to see a vet jump in. Good team building.

  5. Not sure why Robertson didn't just bank it off the boards and skate by him. I guess he thought he could deke around him, as he had his head up the entire time. Good clean hit though.

  6. At full speed I totally thought this was a hit to the head. After reviewing the replay think the initial point of contact is the shoulder. However if we're splitting hairs, he did leave his feet. You'll see that if you slow it down and pause it at just the right moment at 0:23. Not sure if the rule is leaving feet before contact or just in general. Hmm
