Better headline would have been Roussel out for season after he forgets how to skate…
The elbow to the head wasnt what hurt him. It was his right knee buckling.
Poor guy
Elbow?? Roussel took a swipe and faceplants into him
he fell into him, and i’m a canucks fan so idk how that’s a 5 minute major lol
Damn. I hope he's alright
At least they scored…..I guess
He still elbowed him in the head though
It’s for the hit to head by Brendan Lemieux he’s the one that instead of getting out of the way, puts an elbow check on Roussel’s head
God I can’t believe you people you would rather care about the call than the player.
He fell into a cross check to the head, the ranger clearly saw the play and went to hit him but he tripped over the goalie and the cross check or elbow made contact with the head. Accident or not it is a head shot and in this age that is a penalty.
Yeah… Not a fan of either player, but it doesn’t look like an elbow to me. It doesn’t even look like a penalty… it looks like Lemieux gliding to the slot, and Roussel tripped and face planted into his waist
That wasn’t an elbow to the head by any chance.

How dumb are these announcers
Sportsnet, if that's the title you are using, you are a complete joke of an organization and should just give up.
Elbow????
And this led to game misconduct? WOW NHL refs, who gave their balls?
W A S T E D.
In all seriousness I hope he's okay.
The elbow never touches his head and his knee gives out….
Another 100% false title. Guy skated full speed into Lemiux .
good hit
Absolutely horrible call. That is all.
The rangers have gotten the worst calls this year.
That was interference but did the Canucks still have the puck when he got injured or was the puck already off of the stick before he got injured?
Lol Antoine
He did fall in to him yes, but don't deny that Lemiux leaned into him
Refs need to take their heads out of their asses. No way that’s a penalty
What a bull crap call coming from a Nucks fan too. Roster fell into him and the injury wasn’t even from an elbow. It was from him spreading his legs as he was falling which every coach stresses for players not to do. Obviously in that moment he wasn’t thinking of that, get well soon Roster boy!
More like goalie interference on the Canuck . Refs made that call up , they never saw it
Refs are really starting to make hockey suck. I'll have to give up watching sports altogether. NHL better start doing something about all the bullshit calls. Fine refs. Sit them out a few games but DO SOMETHING!! Earn those huge paychecks by righting the wrongs. The NFL ratings are tanking. Is the NHL next?
Rangers went hard on that game. In the end Canucks won!
This first hit That hit petterson was a clear mager penalty. But as a canucks fan idk why the second one was also a mager.
Why is this headline elbow to head?
Clean especially on Roussel
