Cotter illegal check to the head of Pelech – Tough Call Recommendation



Paul Cotter took a bad path of travel through the head of Adam Pelech. It was avoidable, but was it intent to iniure?

  1. Shit happens, maybe two-minutes. It looked like Cotter may have tried to get a small piece of him, but all there was to contact was head because of Pelech making a play with the puck. I agree for the most part, but suspension is a bit much IMO.

  2. Meh. That shoulder and elbow sure move toward his head as contact approaches. Not sure it makes sense to deliberately be a 2 minute penalty but then a 2 game suspension either. I know suspensions happen for missed penalties all the time, but you point out that it shouldn't be a match penalty. Not sure that really adds up

  3. You're delusional buddy.. he lifted his leg out of the way so he can keep his balance and his shoulders moved towards his head so this is INTENT TO INJURE.. stop making videos if you cant open your eyes and see clearly

  4. Tough call but you stick your nose in for the puck with homeboy skating right at you, expect that he isn’t going to dodge around you dude. He is playing defense after all 🤔.

  5. If it was unintentional he would have looked back immediately due to surprise, but he didn't look back, he knew what happened, you can see him lean into it – intentional, suspension deserved.
