  1. true statement..had one of those pieces break free and cut into my shoulder…ever since then I play with out shoulder pads

  2. I think the shoulder obviously rocked him, but it's possible that the chin to the ice did him in. The hit may not have been that terrible, though his shoulder was a little high considering the man already shot the puck and the play was over.

  3. this wouldn't be the suspendable variety though because he didn't target the head, He hit him in both the shoulder and head.

  4. @DangleSnipe93 where is there mostly head contact? YOU CAN'T tell in these replays, you see what you want to see in the video

  5. I was so happy we got Salmela back and would like to see him in the lineup full time. He can replaceMottau

  6. thats not Carters fault. all he did was hit him and that devil had his head down and his better bent foward

  7. clean hit, guy had his head down and he was just finishing his check, the hit happened pretty much right when the goal went in so it was clean. Unfortunate for Salmela that he got injured but it was just one of those things that happens, nothing wrong with the check

  8. @xxZZPOPSxx hitting someone from the blindside is not a dirty play, only if you specifically target the head and only make contact to the head is it even near being a penalty, on this hit it is high yes, but it is clear Carter was just looking to flat out drill him, and not100% to the head., he makes plenty of shoulder contact.

  9. as a Flyers fan i think its a clean hit, as a hockey fan i also think this is a clean hit. it may have been blind side, but these days you cant hit a guy if he can see you. he also made shoulder to shoulder contact. so my opinion is, CLEAN

  10. the hit was fine. but when he fell, he hit the ice really hard. that was the damage he got.

  11. @xFALCONPUNCHxx Dude shut the fuck up do you think carter was looking at the puck? He was going for the hit….so shut your fucking mouth, pause it at 0:33 and its shoulder to shoulder….jesus christ

  12. @Ssanttuu1

    Me? No. But obviously Anus Salmela was as he decided to admire is footwork. It was nice sure, but I think he'll keep his head up now.

  13. There was actually quite a bit of blood on the ice after this hit. Got to this game a little late and walked in just as this happened.
