Soooooooooooooo Pittsburgh players these days don't defend themselves anymore when going into the boards? Just like Letang's and he didn't defend himself either. Players really need to stop letting themselves get hit in the numbers if they can avoid it.
This may look like a dirty hit but wtf is Dumoulin doing there? He has contact prior, so he knows someone is behind him. Why in the hell does he stop and spreads his legs apart like that? You either reverse-check or prepare to get pushed into the boards (In the playoffs: hammered). 0:50 shows in my eyes that Palat does indeed push him more than necessary but jeez… This looks like Orlov's IQ50 turn-break-whatever in game 4.
Video comment- "Ondrej Palat laid down a late hit from behind"- There's nothing late about the hit, they both were heading to the boards battling for position, off of an offensive rush towards a puck dump in. The extra shove to the boards warranted the 2 minute minor, but nothing malicious in the play. Dumbolin is skating backwards from blue line face to face with Palat. So he knows that he's heading to the boards in a skate race for a puck battle. Palat is making contact with you in a skate race before you cross the end line, jockeying for position and you don't brace for a check when you get closer to the boards? instead you start to lean in and head down (before the shove) like your the only guy even near the puck? You have to protect your self. I agree with the Callahan call and a possible suspension on it but this hit Apparently I watched an audition for a Flipper reboot with all the flopping on the ice.
i have proof of MOOK talking pictures of my subs four years ago… this guy is weird af. i joke about calling MR.B0SS a pedo but its pure lame trolling.. this guy honestly has photos of my subs from four years ago.. and today he was calling me pathetic………. LMAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yet another boarding to the head…. Palat should definitely have gotten a 1 game suspension. This was after the Callahan hit, and Palat should know better, too!

shouldnt have even been a minor he barely pushed him lmAo
What is up with all these dirty hits? This was supposed to be a fast paced series, not a dirty hitting series!
didn't the caps get a few similar penalties their first game against the pens? then Wilson mocked them?
Flop.
as someone with no dog in this race…that honestly looked like a dive to me.

If he didn't stay down it wouldn't have been a penalty.
Another dive. Shittsburgh needs to start being penalized for their obvious flops way more.
Palat skates to the left of Dumoulin 0:35. Dumoulin then turns into Palat 0:37 and then fall into the boards. Bullshit call.
I like how in the slow mo, he was looking at the ref to see if there was a call. There wasn't so he covers up to get the call.
Callahan, then Palat. I see the Tampa game plan. Keep hammering the Pittsburgh d-men in the back until there's none left….
