Unfortunate is right. That looks like he's gone for the rest of the playoffs. It really sucks if they win the cup and he doesn't get to play in those final games. The celly is the coolest part of putting your heart and soul on the line in the Stanley Cup. Grown men shedding tears, hoisting that beautiful silver mug. Even though Hyman would be included in getting his name on the cup, it's still sucks not being in the mix at the end.
This is why i question the need to keep allowing open ice hits. I know traditionalists will freak out saying it's part of hockey. But, with skaters being faster than ever and protective equipment being better, it makes the hitter more dangerous than ever. The hitter usually hits with a part of the body well protected, while not always so for the hittee. I realize players should be able to defend against a player with the puck, you can do that without needing to strike them hard at full speed in opposite or even perpendicular direction, which multiplies the impact significantly. Hits along the boards, done legally, are typically less dangerous because there is less combined speed, and less chance of fall impact with ice. The trade off is likely more offense/goals and less injury. Unfortunately, we live in a violence is entertainment world and things won't change.
I like the Oilers and hope they win the Cup (German here, Draisaitl go go go!) und I love Hyman. Hymans injury is very bad news, but I really think this was just extremely unfortunate. Or is someone really able to aim for a loose shoulder? I don`t think so. I think Hyman was hit solely on the shoulder when the shoulder had a bad angle and especially was kind of loose, relaxed, without much muscle tension and therefore very vulnerable.
Bro, his skates left the ice. Not a clean hit, it goes from minor to game misconduct. Id argue its a 2 minute penalty, i dont think he intentionally tried to injure Hyman or go for the head but hit the shoulder he just wanted a big hit..but his skates left the ice.
The Dallas player's intention was to hit and hurt, I guarantee to that. He 100% blind sided him but what do I know. And I am a Toronto fan and the Flames flamed out.
I 'm not sure why they think it a routine body check as he left his feet and to me its a cheap shot coming from the blind side and leaving his feet , not sure why there was no call on the play just a dirty hit period. Should be reviewed…….Two refs can't call it come on……
marchment has been a class act this years playoffs, kept leaping against the Jets,, 3 times potentially and just overall scuzzy style of play,, now this and the guys is injured and probably done for season. slow clap ,, slow clap…
Even if its not technically a penalty, it looks like dangerous play. Open ice hit from a bad angle that forces you change direction to lay the hit. If the contact was on a leg its clipping, but since its an arm nothing?
It looks like one of those edge cases thats not in the rule book but should be
This is the type of hit that the NHL needs to get rid of. They only do something when a head injury is the result. The hitter is coming perpendicular to his target's line of skating. The hitter then tries to hit the front side of his target. This often results in head contact. Here, it resulted in an injury to an arm. There is no difference really.
If a hitter is skating perpendicular to a player they want to hit, that hit needs to be in the shoulder.
Marchment hit then feet left the ice makes it a legal play, if he left ice then hit, then it could be deemed an illegal hit, that is why no penalty on the play, legal hit
Of course you don't think there should be a penalty on a clear intent to injure yet another Oiler player. Might wanna have your eyes checked on that one mate. Maybe some glasses are needed here.

his arm looks like getting hit when it was tucked in a bad angle
Still 2 mins for charging. Or Marchment actually levitates as he skates.

inb4 all the salty Oilers fans. seethe oilers fans seethe.
You clearly show Marchment jump into the hit and leave the ice with both feet so by your own standards isn't that a suspension?

Your opinion?
I thought jumping was a penalty?
really unfortunate, nothing wrong here. I'm a oilers fans.
This doesn't look like anything? I can't belive Hyman got hurt on this play?

looks like collarbone type reaction –

It’s Ice Hockey…Hello? It’s not tennis ! It’s a physical game. Players wear padding and protective gear. It wasn’t a dirty play…just unfortunate.
They busted the Hyman
Same thing happened to Kirby Dach when playing for Team Canada
I don't like hyman #zachhyman
suddenly.surgery. end season for hyman. sad
Late hit from the blindside. DeBoar's got his wish.
Nothin dirty here, only a sad oiler fan! Hats off for Zack, great playoff. Let’s win for the hy man!
Where is your review of Bouchard following Hintz and then slashing him again about the boot?? What are you trying to hide??
FREE PALESTINE!
it is called karma..

Dislocated Wrist. Huge loss for the Oilers.

Just re-watching it, Marchment was going for Hyman's head (jumped up) and missed because Hymen moved at the last second.

NO penalty was the right non-call! The hit was clean, and there was nothing to penalize!
