Draisaitl injured: Did Wiesblatt cross the line?



Ozzy Wiesblatt hit Leon Draisaitl, who’s leg hit the boards awkwardly in the process. Draisaitl went to the room, returned for two shifts to end the first period, and then left the game for good. Was Wiesblatt out of line here?

  1. I mean…if it’s head injury which it kinda looks like it cuz of how drais head goes back on the arm follow through, then that is a dirty hit. Looks like Ozzy took a swing at him after too, right in front of the ref sitting on the boards, though I guess ref wasn’t looking directly at that play and was more focused on getting out of the way. If it’s lower body maybe Drai twisted/tweaked something on the hit. Preds have a few players like that, pests and guys that take liberties. Not complaining, it’s part of the game and those guys have to make a living too.

  2. Doesn't look like the arm made actual contact or if it did I don't think it changed the outcome of the hit, Draisaitl just caught boards the weird when he hit them. Probably roughed up his ribs.

  3. Ответка за Баркова и т.д правда слабенькая совсем. Ерунда. Этот Дристайтель выйдет и победит всех вместе с канадским Девидом Марковичем.

  4. Physique’s again his arm did go up that’s okay but then he threw his arm out not okay but luckily didn’t contact with Draisaitl

  5. I would rather see them playing and not beating each other up on ice that's weak plus the potential brain injuries caused by those fights are horrific.

  6. It looks like his right leg got jammed hard against the boards. Clean hit, tough luck.

  7. If you can't stay in the league based on skill alone. Just adjust your game to take out the other team's star players.

  8. Didn't look like much.
    I wish the NHL would just say what the injury is like every other league. the "people might target it" is so lame. This isn't the 70s, and 2nd, the players already know exactly what's wrong. It's only the fans that are left guessing.

  9. The follow through, you ever lace up skates buddy? At this level if he doesn’t make that hit he doesn’t deserve to be there. Good play, shitty outcome… but that’s hockey

  10. unfortunate contact point for Leo but totally clean and while he had possession of the puck.
