how is is that you do not see the Tkachuk as violent as Hagel's?
did anyone notice all the underdogs won last night? and now tampa wins which IMHO is the underdog in this series.
Tkachuk MUST be suspended for that hit
hopefully he gets suspended and they lose the series cause of it, that would be hilarious
You are high if you think that's hit at the end doesn't deserve a suspension. The play was over.
I completely disagree on the Tkachuk hit, I think he deserves a game.
Looking at our Pennsylvania alumni: Guentzel was a major factor in getting Tampa back into the series, while Giroux's inability to win faceoffs and all-around lackadaisical play was a factor in the Sens going down 0-3.
They were both clean hits, no target to the head, both players were interfered and unsuspecting. But it is what it is at this point. Tkachuk needs a game too. Giving Hagel one and not Tkachuk for the exact same hit would be absurd.
Hagel gets boarded, no call. Retaliates.
Thatchuk hits Guentzel because he's a whiny baby who's mad he lost 5-1. Bout 3-4 second interval after the pass.
Love THG but he's wrong on this one, if Thatchuk gets no suspension, then there is no standard.
As a Sabres fan, I dislike both of these teams, so I hope the league just suspends everybody and awards the Cup to the Sabres by default. Thanks.
Typical @thehockeyguy anit-lightning bias. That hit was literally the exact same as the hagel hit yet his tone is the complete opposite about it
If Hagel got suspended for that weak ass hit tkachuk better be gone for a game. Even though I don’t think either player should be suspended. Also go bolts.
If the NHL wants to make this more dangerous they'll give Tachuk a pass but that really sucks if they do. Tachuk is a POS
Thank you.
I have Bolts in 6.
Game ends. "Ref, you suck!" yells Marchand's agent.
Dont really care who wins i like both Florida teams.
Panthers in 6
Tampa fan…don’t think there should be a suspension, but I didn’t think Hagel would either. Even though the score was 5-1 the bolts still didn’t play well and need to get it together especially on the PP or Florida will take advantage of playing dirty because they don’t respect it.
Refs need to get their shit together. The amount of cross checks from Florida after the whistle is ridiculous, they did get the rat for one though. Chucky cross check to Kuch ribs, then Kuch gets his legs swept swept by Bennett and Kuch gets a roughing?
Paul gets his stick slashed then cross checked in the stomach, one of the two resulting in a broken stick and he gets a holding penalty.
Cirelli gets an elbow to the face then gets a cross check penalty. I know it’s the playoffs but this is a bit crazy, especially the immediate calls after letting one go.
I dont think its a suspension normally but if it was a suspension last game then it should be today. Plus, its Tkachuk so screw that guy.
I don't think that hit by Tkachuk was even a 5, tbh. Yes, it was late, but it wasn't a headshot. I think they turfed Tkachuk to keep control of the game.
Main difference to me is hagels was a bang bang play… Chuckie watched the pass finish change direction and blow up an unsuspecting player. If jake stays down and acts murdered chuckie is suspended. But hes not a panther he got up and joined the scrum… So chuckie will probably get a bonus for the hit.
All body no sussy, he’ll have to write a check though. Hagel got suspended because it was a headshot
Do you realize you post more hockey content than the NHL network channel 😂😂
If you don't think Tkachuk should be suspended for that hit, then Hagel shouldn't have been suspended either. Both were 2 minute penalties max. The refs kinda screwed themselves with calling Hagel's a 5-minute major because now they are forced to call Tkachuk's a 5 minute. Tkachuk should also be suspended 1-game, just like Hagel was since the DPS also screwed themselves into a corner by issuing a suspension instead of a fine. Either call it evenly or not at all. The only difference between the two hits was that the puck missed Barkov and Guentzel was hit WAY late. Both are worthy of 2 minute minors.
And I'm honestly surprised spotters didn't pull Guentzel into the quiet room, because the hit from Tkachuk was so violent Guentzel's head hit the ice. It was shown on the Lightning broadcast's replay.
"fans call one the ref does not so the ref sucks" never gets old 😂
If Guentzel rolled around on the floor for 3 minutes you’d view it as just as “violent” as the Hagel hit.
Bo Bolts
Tkachuk hit was bad. Look at the replay, he knew what he was doing. I would suspend the whole family one game :). Full disclosure, I truly hate the Tkachuk, father included. Theyre trash..
How can you say after the garbage suspension of Hagel they shouldn't suspend Tkachuk? The standard was set. Tkachuk was a far more flagrant Interference.
I respect Brady,but I can't stand Matthew. He made be good, but he's a giant bag of vinegar and water.
Barkov didn't look right. Slow to react and avoiding contact like he normally would. He should have been held out of the lineup. Ekblad, welcome back, minus 4. Tkachuk went out of his way for the late hit. That sliding between bob's legs early on told me this isn't going to end well. FL sucks on early day time games. Can't get out of the bars the night before early enough to get up for the game. They really did a we don't want to win game, hope Tampa can't score effort all day long. This series is helping balance the home teams wins. Hoping for a game 4 win for FL, game 5 for Tampa, FL finishes the series in game 6.
It was important to make sure the ref knows he sucks….like you said, in case he forgot….
Tampa fans coming out of their caves to only watch the playoffs and they can’t even bother to learn any of the rules.
