Canadian on American so what’s the issue.
Clean hit
Dirtcloud strikes again…
Thought you couldn't leave your feet during a hit?
It sparks mass attention at Toronto Sports Network and LeafsNet. No one is talking about It. 🤡🤣
Nobody Maple Laughing Today
😅
zzzzz, whine away Leaf fans. 1967 eh? That's a long time.
So you can leave your feet when going to hit someone in the head. At this point it would be easier to come out and say your bias.
"Understand the process". What process? The process that changes every game? The process to be as inconsistent as possible? GTH
whatever a team sows, that also shall they reap, eh Reavo?
Oh look, trash league's mouthpiece Darren Dreger uttering his rubbish.
Similar hit got Reaves 5 games. The bias against the Leafs over the years has been crazy where dirtier hits across the league don't get suspended or fined. Somehow this soft team over the past decade has been suspended the most. It makes no sense.
If knies played for buffalo, this wouldn't even be news. If you freeze the frame, the players feet are fiemly planted upon contact.
It’s not too early to start the CBA talks. Get it done early for once
it's a shoulder to the head no matter how many talking heads back this bullshit. i'm so used to the leafs getting screwed i can't even get mad any more, just more depressed at the process and the people behind it.
it's a clean hit
What process ?!?! The teams involved should not matter. The players involved should not matter. Contact to the head is a suspension… period.
Someone is going to get seriously injured and it will be on the hands of these inconsistent idiots ! Favoritism what favoritism… nudge… nudge… wink…wink… !
The same brainless fans that called the Reeves hit clean are crying over it.
Knies skated into Whitecloud with his head down.
Goofy Leaf's broadcast crew was calling for a 5 game s suspension!
I'm happy that all you Sports commentators at TSN, Sportsnet, and or swapables, are circling your wagons after the NHL started reading your employers the riot act.
So be it. Lighter "hockey" hits have resulted in major penalties and ejections. Don't mistake my opinion as supporting how Ryan Reaves hit Darnell Nurse. 5 games is stiff but it's not unreasonable considering his previous disciplinary issues and suspensions.
One thing that I've noticed. In previous discussions regarding "hockey hits" coverage use to include very active uses of replays. Sometimes some of you would even break out the magic screen markers and start making circles, adding arrows, underlining details, and in rare cases including actual references to physics and the honest limits of the safety equipment players wear. That's entertaining and informative. Regardless who's backing what opinion. The opinions can be supported with details, facts, and more informative discussions.
There are a lot of discussions lacking any real details on the Whitecloud hit to Knies. No real serious reflection. TSN, Sportsnet, CBC, and friends, parroting a common narrative. It's too universal in delivery. There is no dissension. Yet some American sport analysts have called the hit vicious and delivered with intent. Some Canadians working for American channels are in agreement. There are dissenting opinions! Just none from Canadians working for… TSN, Sportsnet, the CBC, and friends.
That's most certainly not the kind of entertainment I want to pay for. I normally enjoy listening to the discussions even if I don't agree. This time it's just not being delivered with any sincerity. Time for acting classes. If it was honest you'd be showing the details and the discussion might feel a little more real. I won't trust anything any of you say now up until you become individuals again. If this continues it's just building a case for TSN and Sportsnet to replace you all with computer generated Peter Puck videos, replays, elevator music with graphics, or an empty ice surface being groomed by a Zamboni. That will cut costs and make more money. That works in European NHL coverage. ESPN has NHL broadcasts that simply offer elevator music on repeat between periods. That's not entertaining but it's not infuriating. It's not insulting to the viewership. Just imagine what might happen if Bell and Rogers discover they can replace the intermission analyst spots with interactive beer and pizza commercials. They could offer up video games. music of course. What ever we the viewers are willing to pay for. The intermission breaks could be a nickle and dime win fall. The money will be falling out of our bank accounts directly into the coffers of Bell and Rogers. No fertilizer needed for that tree.
Oh the pain! The Loss.
They didn’t get it right it’s the same effing hit as Ryan reeves the game before
It looks like a clean hit to me, but if it was me that got rocked I would have a different opinion.
White Cloud was crouched and took aim for his head as he stood up and suddenly stopped ….deliberate and if NHL doesn't do something about "chicken wing " hits . Like the can opener.?
There is one thing most anti leaf fans seem to miss. The sports media is so under a cloud of being neutral that they become anti leaf because of it. Listen to Joe Bowen and that is the closest you will get. All other sports media supports their team. Just watch Boston, they over do it, but i can respect that.
They did not get it right not even close
Wonder why leaf fans are pissed whatever happened to you can't leave your feet while you're hitting somebody. the guy jumped into the hit for crying out loud
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
He jumped at Knies. It was not a clean check. The league is run by a bunch of political bush league hacks.
If Landeskog has played his last NHL game, at least he went out on a high note raising the cup
white cloud not a dirty player. as a matter of fact he rarely makes hits like this. looked ok to me.
Clean hit. Screw the Leafs
Leaf Nation equals Baby Losers
Parros is a joke..hes a clown.. there is sooo much inconsistencies with his discipline rulings.. fire his ass.. hes taken too many hits to the head himself to be logical.. no way he ahld still have this job
