Jordan Staal Fined $2500 for boarding Flyers Braydon Coburn
Jordan Staal got Fined the maximum fine allowed $2500 for boarding Flyers Braydon Coburn in todays game. Coburn did not get a call for interference. February 18, 2012
@razorslice17 give me a break he has no record, this is fair. He is not dirty and prob didnt realize he would fly forward that far, coburn isnt a small guy
nah what stall did was wrong – text book check from behind in the boards just glad to see some class in a ever increasing classless NHL – I honestly wonder what wuld happen if Cooke did the hit
I think stall meant clearly meant to hit coburn, but just not as hard as he did, looks like he just meant to give him a little shove and coburn went flying.
@razorslice17 are you kidding me? Yes, Coburn did interfere with Staal a bit but that's a textbook hit from behind that can end a guys career. Take your biased opinion elsewhere.
The great part was the fact that this was only a 2 minute penalty and keemo timonen also got 2 mins for arguing why it wasnt a 5 minute call.. so they played 4 on 4… 2,500 dollars=horseshit.
Ok as far as people saying Coburn interfered with Staal, I watch an absolute ton of hockey and what coburn did I've seen a million times. All he did was got in front of him, he had position, now if he came from the side that would be different but he had position. I'm not biased either way but if that were called a penalty, it would have been really ticky tack. He impeded his progress? Yeah in hockey, forwards always get bumped or jostled like that on every single dump in, so yeah not a penalty
I also think Staal should have gotten a 5 minute major. I know Staal is in now way a dirty player, but those kind of hits simply cannot be allowed in the NHL. They can end guys careers instantly.The fine…eh… I doubt Staal really cares about $2,500 and it's not like he got suspended, which was not done and shouldn't have been done.
Is everyone here serious? Look, I'm glad Staal stopped to make sure he was okay, but if you had any doubt as to if it was or wasn't a dirty hit, repeatedly click on 0:32
@EchozProdigy momentum doesn't imply fully extending your arms and cross checking someone from behind. It's ice hockey; you can stop on a dime if you wanted to. Maybe he regretted doing it after, but he clearly cross checked him from behind. 0:32
@EchozProdigy it's like me walking up to you and shoving you to the ground and saying that the momentum I had from walking towards you make me shove you.
@BlackBandShirt Thats not the point. Whether he cared if he was ok or not, he still boarded him badly, and laid a completely illegal dangerous hit. Fair fine.
see kimmo is so nice after the hit most guys would have got into a fight with stall or get in his face but instead kimmo stood just stood there and checkd on coburn
This hit should have definitely been a fine for yuns arguing. With that said though clearly it wasn't a dirty shot by Jordan as you could tell immediately after he did it he checked on Coburn.

You can clearly see Jordan didn't mean it , you could see his concern about Coburn after the hit.

At least Staal was classy enough to be concerned, he knew right away he hurt him and looked sorry 🙁

@SAMPOPESMEELS If anyone was getting interference it would be Coburn he impeaded Stall.

How the fuck wasn't that a suspension?

@EchozProdigy Seriously though dude, you can't watch that and honestly tell me he did that by accident.

Staal did a push up off of Coburn's back lol. Yeah some momentum

Staal isnt a dirty player. he probably said, sorry bro didnt know you would go down like such a bitch.

It's hockey we don't need nice. Kimmo doesn't fight because every other player has a few inches on him.
