Boarding, straight on the numbers, initial point of contact is the head. More than one reason for supplemental discipline. But the league no longer protects their stars so nothing will happen.
I know I’d never want to be in this position. It ended up being driving Tavares head into the boards. As we know concussions are a brutal injury and the next one on anyone can have heavy, persistent, and long term life effects. Any hits to the head should be treated like high sticking. Intent doesn’t matter- if it happens, automatic major and expulsion. Suspension review. I have no interest in a guy having brain issues for life for my “entertainment”
I'll never understand why players turn their back, and bend in half, a foot away from the boards.
I was always taught to go shoulder to shoulder and let the boards help them bounce off.
It's just poor decision making and I'm pretty sure it's not their first time playing hockey. 100% the "victims" fault. All this foul baiting reminds me of the NBA.

Damn maybe next time im in the corner i should just turn my back to the play. What a fucking joke this call was.
So, Washington's Pierre-Luc Dubois just got an attempt to injure match penalty, so can you review it?
Easily a major. Not even remotely close to being on the fence about it.
Bit of a duck. Just a minor. Don’t skate around in midget stance in the corners. What do you expect.
Standard hockey hit and JT turned. Zadorov is a freight train at 6’7”!
Panarins shootout goal vs Flames tonight? I thought Kings got lucky on that one by the refs, i thought it wouldnt have counted. Thoughts or video?

Boston helping Toronto out getting that Top 5 protected pick after all.

Tavares put himself in a bad position.
Just an elbow to the back of the head that gets sandwiched into the boards, no biggie .-.
