2023 Stanley Cup Finals: Florida vs Vegas

[Sabres73]

Clean hit. Could be a huge turning point in the series if he's out. Wouldn't that be a story if it was a neck injury?

Don't see many hits like that at all, anymore

He's not my favorite either, but the game is the game.

At least they took both guys.

They took Barbashev for 2 and 10 as well.

Great hit. Eichel bailed late and may have made it worse. How 19 gets a ten there is a joke. How Fla isn’t on the pp even worse.

Not since he broke up with that car dealer's daughter.

Yeah but one is worth more than the other.  Vegas knew what they were doing.  And did it right, given the tilted rink.

Yes , because the narrative that Jack knew better than the Sabres doctors would go out the window

So, the penalty wasn't on the hit.

I hate that, once again, the team that made the hit doesn't get a power play when the other team gets butt hurt and "has to respond". Vegas should have been down a man after being ***** after a clean hit.

EXACTLY.   There is no reason for Tk to be out for 12.

So much this.

Without even knowing what you're talking about, I know you're right.

It was a pick play/interference call

I didn't see what happened so I can't really be sure of that, but Vegas still should have been a man down after the scrum. Then we could listen to all the commentators say stuff like, "Absolutely! That's a penalty you will gladly kill."

Off the floor, on the board! 

[Sabres73]

Looks like Eichel's neck is okay, lol

[Randall Flagg]

Just saw the hit. Brutal but definitely clean. Jack Tua'd himself - made the situation worse with his split second reaction than it would have been had he known how to take a hit (tackle)

[Billznut]

Florida being outplayed by a huge margin in this series. Maurice should spend more time coaching, less time crying to the refs. 

[Randall Flagg]

Vegas has spent most of their existence playing at a level capable of winning the cup

Scary. But a few years back Zadorov ragdolled him something brutal.

[Zamboni]

I certainly don’t want to see Eichel hurt severely. But out for a couple games would be nice 😂

[Randall Flagg]

Twice now, pucks have defied the laws of physics to stay out of the Vegas net 

[sabremike]

I remember noted asshat Jamie Benn driving Jack head first into the boards and thinking it was a miracle he didn't end up in a wheelchair.

[SwampD]

That was a pretty assist.

[rickshaw]

Tkachuk getting two 10 min misconduct penalties is a joke. Once again the NHL showing how to not showcase top players. Yes he’s an asshat, and is a goof, but he’s entertaining to watch when he’s not playing your team. Both misconducts are ridiculous. Oh no he knocked his stick out of his hand. Come on.

And enough with every other player getting 10. This game is not going to turn into a 1970’s game.
