Carlo crosscheck on Tkachuk – Have your say!



Carlo crosscheck on Tkachuk – Have your say!

here’s a Carlo cross-checking penalty on Matthew Kachchuck And it’s definitely a cross-checking minor penalty That’s what I would give him too But I’m just trying to see whether it actually hits Kachchuck in the face or not Does the right glove hit him in the face there Maybe Cuz I don’t think the stick does And yet Kachchuck shows his face to the ref and holds his chain and says “He cross-checked me.” It was definitely a good call on the minor penalty for cross-checking Carlo definitely deserved a penalty But do you think it hit Kachchuck’s face or not And the reason it would matter to me is because it might increase the punishment I would give after the fact So what do you think

Brandon Carlo crosschecked Matthew Tkachuk and rightly got a deserved minor penalty. Tkachuk made sure to show the official his face though. Was there contact to his face?

  1. Why didn't tkachuk get a penalty for butt ending , refs are so one sided when it comes to the dirty Panthers

  2. Carlo doing his job and it was clean, Tkachuk being a little bitch and doing a poor acting job. The refs being paid off as always when it comes to the Panthers

  3. No penalty on the play. It was a standard push away from the crease. Cross-check is when the stick is accelerated before it strikes the player, and can injure. In this case, the stick was placed against the player and he was pushed, which is very common in crease battles. Tkachuk is a whiny b, who does this kind of thing behind the play on open ice, which should be interference. The fact that he tries to draw a penalty for it here shows what a hypocrite he is. If there was a penalty for being a dbag, i would give that to tkachuk, but alas, there is none, so no penalty.

  4. It's a flop. But he NHL is going to suck the D of any Panthers player…..I mean the NHL literally turned a blind eye to Florida violently injuring the best players of their opponents and with no repercussions so……move on and pretend it's real……but don't fool yourself…..the Panthers have "earned" the cup again this year….and the finals haven't even started yet. Keep your money in your bank account folks, gambling is ruining sports.

  5. Please, just stop already. If the positions were reversed, you'd be calling for a firing squad. Leaf fans are the worst.

  6. That’s not even a cross check. Carlos stick is on his body when he initially makes contact and then he extends….thats a push. It happens 400 times a game in the NHL. The only difference is most guys don’t snap their heads back while diving to the ice.

  7. More a shove than anything else, an exaggerated reaction and dive by the “tough guy.” The main contact was actually with Carlo’s glove
