Niklas Kronwall Huge hit on Charlie Coyle . Mar 20, 2013
Niklas Kronwall gets a 4 minutes high sticking penalty on that big hit on Charlie Coyle. penalty to Niklas Kronwall 4 minutes for High Stick – double minor Charlie Coyle Minnesota Wilds vs Detroit Red Wings
I correct myself- He was bleeding and I'll admit that it's possible kronwall's stick made contact. This game featured horrible officiating and I thought this was another example of it.
clean hit, didnt hit him with the stick either, but it was pretty close though, maybe thats why they called it a penalty. I guess he couldve got seriously hurt if his stick made contact to the head..
Well, the striped shirts called a pretty bad game all around. The disallowed goal was probably a good goal in the 1st, and I don't see a penalty here either… What can ya do?
I read on a newspaper's site that the stick hit the chin, but luckily not hard. The player is responsible for where he have the stick, that's why Kronwall got a penalty. The hit is clean though, but the stick that high is wrong.
dont matter if i am from AHL or veteran,reaction time here or there, i would get up and the first thing what i would do is slashing kronwall into the hollow of his knee, just to get sure, he will remember me next time.
or Kronwall doesn't hit dirty. At the most, this could get a fine, but a suspension would be laughable (not sure what you think he should have gotten). He happened to clip his jaw with his shoulder, yes. However, Kronwall hits clean, always has. He screwed up on that one and caught him in the jaw, penalty was correct. It's sooo easy to call Shanahan biased. It's like he has to fine or suspend every Red Wing or Blue Shirt every time something even remotely bad happens. You don't know anything.
yeah because it is a good measuring stick to determine the legality of a players actions based on whether the refs called a penalty. And Kronwall never leaves his feet, when you hit someone hard the force of the contact is going to bring your skates off the ice. He's never been suspended or fined (not sure on that one) you're just an uneducated, biased person. Can't blame you though, you are a Wild fan, kinda have to be.
did Cooke get a penalty when he ended Savard's career? Don't think so if memory serves. Did Ryan Clowe get penalized for touching the puck from the bench? Nope. Terrible way to judge a play.
Stick rakes across the face, after the initial contact. It's why Coyle went down like he'd been clotheslined, and that's why the penalty was called. Good hit, but also a good call on the penalty.
Kronwall went for the legal check but the kid looked up last minute and instead of meeting the check like a man, tried to dodge it. Of course, he could only move his upper body a little and for that Kronwall then missed on the upper body enough to go past and raise his arm and stick and raked the kid's neck with his stick after his shoulder hit the kid's shoulder and head. Kronwall wasn't leading with high hands and stick to give extra punching impact, which is why "high sticking" is a penalty; and anyone who knows anything about Kronwall knows he wasn't targetting the head; it was an imperfect Kronwalling, and at that speed you can't blame the refs for calling it as they saw it.

Knowing Kronwall i think he was trying to go for the chest like he always does.
He got kronwalled.

Er met gerd
Stupid referee, that wasn't high sticking. Kronwall's stick never touched Coyle.

thats a high hit cmon are you blind
similar to what they called on Subban the other night.
Its not suspendable because its north south. Could was not vulnerable at all other than his head was down. Read the rules if you are literate
Hmm maybe.. but dont forget he had his head down too
Kronwalled
KRONWALLED
Dirty head contact hit

He seems to "cleanly" hit a lot of players and at least i can spell full words
you win all the internets.
rofl and you're saying that because I said "cuz" lol it's the internet man, people shorten stuff up all the time. It's called internet slang.
The most respect organization in sports….Far from dirty.
Why was this a high stick…his stick didn't touch the guy.
Worst penalty ever.
Take note rookies, all of Kronwalls hits included his victim with their heads down.
Not high sticking but he targeted his head
Clean hit by Kronwall, that a boy Coyle for popping right up.
It was only a penalty because the stick was high.
The main target wasent the head, The kid tried to move out of the way and put himself in that position to get hit in the head
