Brawndo Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Seguin and Eaves leaving the game with injuries within one minute of each other. Kulikov went for a hip check and got Seguin on the knee on his planted leg, didn't look good. Then Eaves gets hit in the side of the head with a puck. He was on the ice for 5 minutes and had to be carried of by a couple of his teammates. He definitely looked concussed. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/gotta-see-it-seguin-leaves-ice-after-low-bridge-hit/ Ruff said Seguin will be out for a while as will Hemsky Edited February 14, 2015 by BRAWNDO Quote
Taro T Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Ruff said Seguin will be out for a while as will Hemsky Nasty hit on Seguin. Went waaaay low on the 'hip check.' Horrible technique; wouldn't be surprised if a suspension is coming. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Ruff said Seguin will be out for a while as will Hemsky That's going to put a damper on their playoff hopes. Here's the puck to the head of Eaves. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/gotta-see-it-eaves-left-dazed-after-taking-puck-to-head/ Quote

deluca67 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 At least it's front loaded...kind of. Goes from $8 mil/year to $5.5 mil/year by 2020, or a $500k annual decrease. Still, a $7 mil/year cap hit for him is absurd, I have no idea how they try and unload that. Kessel's even worse, at a cap hit of $8 mil/year and $54 million still owed to him until 2023 :sick: http://stats.nhlnumbers.com/teams/TOR?expand=true&year=2015 They're going to get fleeced on any trade they have involving those players, but ownership sounds determined to rid the ship of the old crew. I'd take Kessel and that contract in a heartbeat. One of the premier scorers in the NHL and he is still only 27, sign me up. Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Posted February 14, 2015 So Kulikov should get? 5 games? 10 games? I mean anything less is a f###ing joke. He submarined Tyler Seguin, the hell? Quote
LastPommerFan Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 I'd take Kessel and that contract in a heartbeat. One of the premier scorers in the NHL and he is still only 27, sign me up. The cap # is not even an issue for 3 years, and even then, most of the talent is still RFA. I'd take Kessel and worry about 2019 in 2018. So Kulikov should get? 5 games? 10 games? I mean anything less is a f###ing joke. He submarined Tyler Seguin, the hell? Dangerous dangerous play. I don't think he hit his knee directly, but where he hits the upper leg almost guarantees that the knee buckles sideways. Quote

The league is too busy celebrating these as "hip checks" because no one even remembers what a hip check looks like anymore. Quote
Weave Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 The league is too busy celebrating these as "hip checks" because no one even remembers what a hip check looks like anymore. In an interview Mike Robitaille said that he injured alot of knees, and broke a couple legs, with the hip checks he used to throw. You have to get them just right. Even the real pros at hip checks got them wrong and injured people. Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Posted February 14, 2015 The league is too busy celebrating these as "hip checks" because no one even remembers what a hip check looks like anymore. lol that's because of all the interference the league now allows. Note that Dallas' response is weak as hell. If that happened to Reinhart, I expect everyone on the ice to drop gloves and try and murder Kulikov. http://youtu.be/5V46mXRsmkA Quote

I love a good hipper, but that is low and dirty. Quote
PASabreFan Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 There's your clipping call. Someone mentioned fairly recently they had never seen it called, or even heard of it. He gave him the business down there. Quote
Hoss Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) I remember when Risto did the same move and everybody celebrated it. I even think D4rk said that Risto was going to revive the hip check after the play. The irony. EDIT: I lied. Mixed two hits up. The hit that D4rk said that on was a nice clean hip check by Risto on Mike Green back in November. Leino demoted. No longer in the KHL... Rough for Ville Leino. No longer with Zagreb in the KHL. Going over to NLA’s Kloten Flyers. http://t.co/srYBN3Bcjn Edited February 14, 2015 by Tank Quote

Hoss Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Ristolainen's hip check was perfect and not even remotely the "same move". :rolleyes: Read the edit. But I do remember a Sabres player doing a very similar move and people praising it. Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Posted February 14, 2015 Ristolainen's hip check was perfect and not even remotely the "same move". :rolleyes: Thanks I was trying to find the gif of it. Risto hits him much higher, Kulikov's principle point of contact is the knee. Quote
X. Benedict Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Ristolainen's hip check was perfect and not even remotely the "same move". :rolleyes: Thank you, Not even close to the knees. Quote
darksabre Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Read the edit. But I do remember a Sabres player doing a very similar move and people praising it. No big. I'm glad you brought it up. I love watching that Risto hipcheck. Quote

I'd take Kessel and worry about 2019 in 2018 Plus, the cap will be what, $8 -$10+ million higher by that point. We have seen over and over again that a big part of opportunity is timing, like the Kane deal. If Kessel hits the trade market the Sabres need to jump on it and not hope there will be another Kessel level player available down the road. Put him in some blue & gold and slap the 'C' on his chest for the next 8 - 10 years. Quote

SwampD Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Read the edit. But I do remember a Sabres player doing a very similar move and people praising it. You are going to have to find it, because the only one I remember is the hit on Girgs in the Tampa game that PA was referencing when I said I had never heard of clipping. Not sure anyone was praising that hit. Quote
deluca67 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 I want Kessel too, but I don't want that little caveman to be our captain. It'll be Zemgus soon enough. Girgensons has a long way to go to earn that honor. I'm against just handing the 'C' to guys, I like the idea of putting the 'C' on guys that have earned their stripes in the NHL. It's why I like Gionta with the 'C' now. Quote

Eleven Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) ###### call on Hamilton leads to Ottawa power play goal. 1-0 bad guys. Girgensons has a long way to go to earn that honor. I'm against just handing the 'C' to guys, I like the idea of putting the 'C' on guys that have earned their stripes in the NHL. It's why I like Gionta with the 'C' now. There's some merit to telling the team that it's Girgensons's team. Kind of like what they did with Schoeny. Edited February 14, 2015 by Eleven Quote
