It's an open ice hit opportunity...of course they're going to take it. If a Habs player (Subban) saw a player vulnerable like that, you can bet 10/10 he will make that hit.
:*( This is what bothers me. Great hits are great. But when a player KNOWS his hit is going to be brutal, I wish players would take more care in their fellow man. "oh but then I'd be out of a job!!" Boo. fuckin hoo.
Fuck. If this were a movie he'd come back and score the series winning goal
I just hope he'll be okay. There goes our number 1 centre for next year if he's not.
Eller was fed a bad pass and had his head down.
Except for the fact that intent matters.....
Eller was hunched over trying to receive that shit Diaz pass. Shouldn't have even been a 2 mins penalty.
Fuck hockey. I just want to hear that he's alright. That was a nasty collision with the ice. He faceplanted while unconscious.
How does this apply to the Gryba hit?
Bahahahahaha
PK? Fuck yeah. Most players? No. Not like that.

I'm pro hitting, against dumbass hits too make you look tough. Sure it was a dumb pass by Diaz, doesn't mean you should try to knock someone out
Holy shit, what a hit. Didn't look that bad to me, but wow@bloody outcome. Kind of reminds me of Rome on Horton 2 years back, only way more blood and not as bad of an angle on the hit.
Could rally the Habs like it did the Bruins.
I lol'd.
You can't hit a guy in the fucking head, it's a blindside hit, if you can't get that through your brain then stop watching hockey.
I'm tired of seeing this shit in the BC, so angry right now.
You're a genius. Players should start skating head down into people to draw penalties.

You cannot be fucking serious.
I think curling is on Sportsnet. Playoff hockey is clearly not for you.

Yeah same here man. I can't say I feel too good. Poor kid.
Yep...
Eller was incredibly vulnerable. It was a god awful pass yes,I've been on the recieving end of suicide pass hits, they're not fun. Gryba knew his hit would destroy him. A skilled player would just take the puck and have a smart takeaway that could lead to an offensive play.
edit: Not to mention the safety issues of heads hitting the ice like that if that was the case, which seems quite likely.
CAPS AGAIN!!!! YYEEEESS
Terrible. I guess a mouth guard can only do so much. Watching the hit again on TV in slow mo makes me think he was knocked out by the hit and the head was the main point of contact. He didn't really try to break his fall.
I linked to an interesting new ESPN article about Lindros in the offseason thread today. Unfortunately, it just got even more relevant.

I you think for one second that Subban wouldn't have made that hit you're insane.
He even left his feet to hit Neil.

Brian Burke punched my mom
Slow-mo replay says different.
Smurfs running Andy?
Unleash Lehner and concuss them all.
Right, superhuman Gryba should have used his superhuman senses to sense that Eller was gonna be in a vulnerable in a split second before that hit *rolls eyes*
I must have missed the thought bubble above Gryba's head that said "I'm going to injure this poor bastard!"

And I was wondering what that smell was in Montréal today, I guess it was Gryba
If there is a concussion as well, I hope he has a Patches like recovery.

With that much blood he's probably headed for surgery right now.
No it doesn't, go watch it again.
I'm going to assume Eller's done for the year, I just hope it's not too serious and he can be back and healthy next season.
Hopefully that initial report of broken nose + concussion doesn't get any worse.
Eller is a damn good kid. Forget about hockey. In his episode of Nos Canadiens last season you could see what a solid fucking kid he is. Head on his shoulders. Started to cry when talking about his mother (who is afraid to fly and thus has never seen him play in the NHL).

Oh come on, don't be so dense. When you go in for a hit like that, your intention is full well to lay the player out. They're not out there hugging each other for fucks sakes.
