Larkin hit on Spellacy – Tough Call Recommendation
Dylan Larkin took a big run at A.J. Spellacy, completely ignoring the puck and intentionally delivering a full on body check when it was very clear contact was no longer eligible.
Still can’t do that, but isn’t there more on the Spellacy play? He does a quick jerk to totally change his direction and tries to throw himself into Raymond. It at least then causes the trip because he had no control of himself. But then, isn’t that dangerous itself? I can see why Dylan got upset, though not condoning how he handled it.
There’s a reason you make YouTube videos and aren’t officiating the league. This is a big hit. Yes it was slightly dirty, but nothing that warrants suspension. You gotta take into consideration that it was on a guy who could’ve potentially injured one of the redwings top players. Give Larkin 2 mins. Sure, but to even be having a discussion about suspension is soft as baby shit. This is the type of leadership and play that real hockey fans want to see. I like your channel and I enjoy you reviewing dirty plays but maybe don’t give your shitty opinions.
2 minutes for both hits. Done pussifying the game. Nothing called on first, should ignore the second. Refs sleeping so players pay the price on both sides when they decide F this, if refs wont do shit we will.
Shut up Tough Call. Nice play by Larkin. Hockey players police their own game. Lucas Raymond is to good to be hit in the preseason. Thanks for the video and all you do with your channel historically.

It's Larkin's rising follow-through that makes it a clear penalty to me.
Clear elbow

2 minute interference minor is all I see.
Knee on knee
after everything done to Larkin he's learned this is how he has to respond because the NHL hates the Wings and their players.

THATS MY CAPTAIN. Thats what happens when these knee on knee hits arent called. Nearly took out Raymond and had a Montreal situation
Lol you think he should be suspended
Ejection. Obviously. Xhekaj gets a game misconduct for the same hit basically just without the head contact.
