Another day another totally blown call by the NHL’s department of player safety as they give another bogus ruling on A.J Greer’s hit on Connor Zary Friday night. That and more in today’s NHL hockey video!
0:52 If this goof ever touches NHL ice again in his life he better get carried off of it. One of the worst hits I've seen in years and should be punished as such
Wouldn't it benefit player safety if they were to say, hand out heftier fines (that actually did a dent to their income) to those players? I guess as a team, your gm/coach wouldn't want to lose a player for 5+ game suspension, but if they got that and a BIG fine, it would target the individual and not the team.
That wasnt in the moment… he had seconds of thought processing before hitting him from behind. There's no need for that behavior at this level on hockey. It could've easily ended his career.
A heavy fine and exit out of the league is a suitable punishment. Because there's so many more talented players that would love to fill an NHL spot.
point of contact happened well inside the face off circle. he slide into the boards. double minor at best for causing injury. unfortunate incident, suspension worthy. no. his next time on ice should be meet with a fight. players need to regulate the game once again. hockey is turning soft for corporate tv money. this in not how hockey was meant to be. watch a Ahl game. the players regulate the game like its supposed to be.
After the Todd Bertuzzi incident from years ago(which apparently nobody has learned from), the league should have a zero-tolerance policy for this kind of crap. 3 games? 10 games? Gtfo with that, the dude could've been paralyzed. Ban him from the league and send a message once and for all.
Personally, I really can’t believe what I see about the referees’ calls, the calls & LACK of calls made are outrageous 😮 🧐 Has the sport also succumbed to such obvious biases? 🤔 Has GOOD sportsmanship died? Has win at all costs won even at the cost of honour & respect? 🤨
3 games is a fucking joke! could have been paralyzed for fuks sake, the hit was intentional, absolutely tried to injure him. Greer is a goon, a viscous piece of shit. The NHL is becoming a joke
The league had a solution it was called the hockey enforcer. A big goon whose sole job was to discourage cheap shots and dirty hits by way of percussive correction via fists when required.
We had less brain trauma in the NHL when players were terrified of the 6'6" 240lbs enforcer that would give them a blackout if they ever went for a dirty hit. Similar phenomenon to the "increased safety" of football pads/helmets leading to increased incidents of head trauma, because it felt safer to go for those dangerous hits.
One of the reasons why I don’t watch the NHL anymore. They reward the worst behavior. They literally want the NHL to be played nub nameless, talentless mannequins.
removing the ability for Enforcers to properly punish hits like this has made Hockey so much worse. remember when a check like this would immediately result in some angry scrapper throwing off the gloves and pummeling the offender into a good old fashioned concussion? well now you got people flying in for massive hits that go completely unanswered. NHL is becoming a shell of what it used to be.
Imagine getting your panties in a twist due to an illegal crosscheck. Wish we could go back to a time when Americans didn't care about hockey and stopped acting like Karen's trying to change the sport like they did with basketball.

Delicate Snowflakes Whining About A Hit, Eh?
I Don't Recommend Watching Sports Games From The 70s Then…
Bettman Wants To Move All The Canadian Teams To The Southern U.S. .No Wonder He's Protecting The Panthers. Besides There's Trump's Favorite NHL Team.
Oh someone got hit playing hockey, well it mist be the end of the world. Let the guys play the game, I mean god damn every sport is so soft now
What puck?!!
The guy looks like a shady mobster.
I want to see someone absolutely destroy Greer soon
assaulkt with deadly intent.. 20 years prison
woke hockey
I'm gonna be honest, crying about player safety in a sport that encourages players to deck each other is wild
NO FIGHTING …EUROPEAN HOCKEY IN THE NHL….
If that had been A SUTTER OR A HUNTER THAT HAPPENED TO…… THERE WOULD’VE BEEN MASSIVE RETRIBUTION

Y'all play too much Tape to Tape. You should all play Tape to Tape.
Three games are you kidding kick him out for good what BS move, could have paralyzed him. That should never be tolerated.

Move the ball to the place!
You get excited and pay your whole life to that.
Fary Gangman is a descrace to hockey! Its first season as comish, was disastrous, and hockey got worse each season. thereafter.

SO the guy getting his throat cut during a high kick wasn't enough for change? These betting apps are going to start betting on deaths.
They need to bring back enforcers so people will think twice if you hit someone viciously with an enforcer you may think twice.
That whole department should be fired. Parros is a moron

"Player Safety"!?! Right, got it! As long as he doesn't die, it's a perfectly taught hockey move!

For ethical reasons I turned my back on hockey. All of it. They’re modern day gladiators 🤦🏻♂️
Ask Parros to accept the same hit from the same player and see what he thinks of it then.
Ministry of Truth Player Safety Department, eh?

3 more games than i expected
The department wont change until someone is either paralyzed neck down or someone dies on the ice.

As soon as Bettman is gone, I hope we’ll get at least 1080p highlights, a proper DoPS, better play off formats…
Teams with a player named Tkachuk try not to be the most vile unprofessional pieces of shit teams in the NHL challenge.
Level: Never beaten before
The sad part about this is that I've talked to someone who thinks three games was too much for this .
Could have broken is neck!! Whatever he gets… is NOT enough!

George Parros is an asshat with favorites who probably pad his fat, cheating pockets!
