plus it was about 4 seconds late.

No need to bullshit. That wasn't a late hit.

Unfortunately seems like a dangerous dirty hit because it looks like Kadri hit Ovie's knees.

It wasn't late though.

Ah this sucks. I think he just wanted to put up a big hit in response to Gardiner getting hit and it just turned into a disaster / injury.

 

[Parch]

It's a beauty to Cherry, but that's default hit opinion for him.

Overall the playoffs are getting a little chippy. The number of hits in the MTL/NYR series is getting a little out of hand. I can see the refs starting to clamp down now to try and avoid the injuries.

 

[Cake Boss]

Of course that shriveled piece of dick skin thinks it's a clean hit. Go fuck yourself.

 

[Bad7667]

That was a clean hit. It's called a hip check. Ovi tried to avoid it and made it way worse. And late? No.

 

[ElNino]

Maybe in dog years. He literally had just chipped the puck out of the zone.

Get the fuck outta here

 

[lamaroo]

The hit was hip to hip, except Ovi tried to avoid the hit and his leg was the main point of contact as a result.

It was barely a penalty at all, and not nearly as bad as Orpik.

Do you know where the hip is located on the human body?

 

[PillarEN]

I really don't think Kadri was targeting Ovi's knees or trying to hurt him on purpose. He tried to go hip on hip, Ovi sidestepped it and got it square on the knee.

It's still a penalty though.

Looking at the gif a few posts above I got the same impression. Will have to see it real time, but probably won't change my thoughts.

 

[Montresor]

Guys I would love if this was considered a hip check. But the video evidence shows Ovechkin's knee / leg gets hit....

 

[Coldnoodle]

Ibra and Ovi injured at the same time ;_;

 

[Marvie_3]

Hmm. Not convinced. Can I have another Leafs fan weigh in?

Sorry I was late. I just got here.

 

[Silexx]

STONE!

 

[Fate_Shirou]

STONE 1-0!!!!!

 

[Cake Boss]

STONNEEEE!!!

I don't think you know just how high up the body the hip is...

Yup, this.

Because Ovi jumped.

4 seconds? Clock doesn't even change from 2:32 during the entire thing.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Sorry I was late. I just got here.

You told Kadri to do this didn't you

 

[Merguson]

People on Twitter already pulling the Islam card out........ The fuck

Is it KingBroly?

 

[sirronoh]

Will wait for even more videos but that certainly doesn't look like the hip to me -- it looks like the knee and lower thigh area.

 

[Chris R]

What was he thinking going that low for the hit?

 

[ElephantShell]

I honesty don't see that much of a different between the Kadri hit and this "clean" hit: https://youtu.be/6BHyuuGKtro

Orpik goes about as low as Kadri did and hit Duchene right in the waist.

I think this is what Kadri was trying to do, and probably what would have happened if Ovi doesn't sidestep it.

 

[a916]

Yup, this.



Because Ovi jumped.

He didn't.

 

[imBask]

i'm sure the discussion would be as rational if Matthews was on the receiving end

 

[Montresor]

What was he thinking going that low for the hit?

Kadri is thinking: "I have to get a big hit to help out my team and show them Ovechkin isn't the only player that can lay out a big hit".

Just ended horribly. I think he wanted to make up for the hit on Gardiner. Not to get revenge, but just wanted to play physical in return.

 

[Zombie James]

See, Ovi's fine.

 

[Merguson]

See he's on the ice. No need to do anything. - NHL

 

[Montresor]

YES. OVECHKIN NOT INJURED!!!

Thank the lord!!!

Now let's get to winning this game. Without the stink of Ovechkin getting injured.

Go Leafs!!!

 

[ElNino]

I don't think you know just how high up the body the hip is...

To be clear, there was contact was to his knee because he tried to avoid the hit, not because Kadri targeted it.

And he's back, good to see it's not too serious.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

They can take Matthews out if we finally get a PP

 

[sirronoh]

Well guess who's back.

Clearly "hip to hip."

 

[Montresor]

Leafs have to move heaven and earth to win this game. Throw everything at the caps.

Because I think Kadri will get suspended. I don't want to go back to toronto down 3-2 without Kadri.

SCORE GOD DAMMIT

 

[Merguson]

Rielly don't shoot ever again.

 

[lamaroo]

Why did he go so low?

 

[Montresor]

Ugh fuck off Wilson. Fucking loser.

 

[ElNino]

Why did he go so low?

Because he was trying to deliver a hip check.

 

[shadowkat]

Glad that Ovi is okay.

 

[yyzjohn]

Cherry said it's legal and​ we all know he's fair and balanced when it comes to foreign players.

 

[Marvie_3]

You told Kadri to do this didn't you

No i was asleep on the couch.

Is it KingBroly?

99% chance it is

 

[PillarEN]

Holy fuck if Krejci is done.

 

[ElephantShell]

Why did he go so low?

Why did Orpik go so low on Duchene? Why did Emelin go so low on Colborne? It happens.

 

[lupinko]

Is it KingBroly?

Same thought came to mind.

 

[Futureman]

STEP IT UP LEAFS

 

[Montresor]

STEP IT UP LEAFS
