Yea horribly timed on oleksiaks part as well, clean doesn't equal Smart, it's not that serious that you need to incapacitate another player lol poke check or somethin.
@@korbendallas7181 but theres a difference, Shiefele was dirty, he could've let up and saved the puck, but he wanted to kill the guy, and it was head contact. This hit was clean, hard hit.
@@AKAKATTACK_YT nah, 4-3 in a playoff game with a minute left. Yea fuckn right you’re coasting one in, head down, to an empty net! Don’t like to see anyone stretchered, but I’m Team Shiefele on that hit. It’s called back checking and playing till the whistle.
No way he should have played a single shift after that hit to the head on the post. Concussion for sure, just look at how he can't pull himself upright. Should've been immediate quiet room with the next day off at least.
@@connorring597 Players have been outspoken about the tendency for team medical staff to underplay the severity and dangers of head injuries, and to over prescribe painkillers (very similar to the NFL). Any loss of consciousness, even if brief, from a head impact should result in that player being removed from the game and kept under observation. That's my opinion at least based on what I know about brain injuries and how they're handled in the NHL
@@Vetiun I agree that he is elusive. My heart drops every time he is at top speed cutting in down low off the wing. He knows its dangerous, he says that's why they pay him the big bucks though. I just want to see that guy play for 20 years.
That's 100% charging. "Charging is the action where a player takes more than two strides or travels an excessive distance to accelerate through a body check". Oleksiak took like 5 full strides
The strides for charging are not related to skating into the play, rather directly leading into the hit itself. Oleksiak had stopped skating before the collision. It was a good hard hit
Just like in football.... it's always been dangerous to come across the middle. The rules have been changed to make it safer but you are running/skating across the train tracks every time you do it.
Most fans (visually) first think that a Charging Penalty has to include the boards, but that’s patently false, as proven here. The so-called Big Rig may be just that: a physical behemoth. However, let us remember that game against the Caps when, Tom Wilson introduced him to the Twainian adage: t's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
Nope it's just a bunch of caveman that think seeing someone inches from death is entertaining. I love a physical game just as much as the next man but these players need to realize it's just a game at the end of the day and taking a sec to think your next move can save a fellow skater his kneck, lol quite literally
Thank you. Reading the comments and was wondering if I was losing my sanity. Charging. Use that as an example when teaching people the rules of the game.
@@zalapski9399 if you haven't noticed the sport has evolved and is growing more then ever then you aren't paying attention. Even announcers comment on the way the players are better then ever, they say back then was all about playing the body and hard hits, now it's better playmaking and high hockey IQ. I love a physical game it's what hockey is at it's core but bone head plays make the sport look bad, just ask any old pest that is forced to step up his game now.
@@JD-tm4ee the avs have been icing Kurtis MacDermid this year in an attempt to deter teams from taking liberties with their high-end talent. that dude cannot keep up with the pace of the game in 90% of plays and has only had a single fight in 18 games. You nailed it 100% on the head. The game is evolving toward speed and skill. The era of the enforcer has passed.
Exactly... all these morons think it was a great hit... he turned it over, then put his goalie at risk to be injured... All my time playing net, it was my own player's stupidity that resulted in my injuries in net - not the opposing player's.
@@sunsetcaptiva8573 it’s a beautiful hit, if it’s in open ice. He legit made a stupid play, gave up the puck, and had no intention of trying to get the puck back just to hit the guy regardless of if the goalie gets hurt or not.
@@nikolasdenicola2005 So he should make the hit and Eff' his own goalie right? Turn one stupid play into two for the price of one right? You don't do this to your own goalie - EVER...
@@rivahkillah ok he drove to the net so oleksiak should just bulldoze him into his goalie and net to? You should take your intelligence into account as well when commenting.
@@JD-tm4ee in this situation the goaltender is far better off than if Oleksiak had not hit Boris and Boris had gone crashing into the goaltender at full speed, which if you watch the replay it's a clear as day that's what would have happened. I'd say something personal about you, but your opinion is worse than anything I'd say.
@@omegacbo His legs are moving, use your eyes lmfao. Are you one of the 3 blind mice we see night to night? He takes like 5 strides before he glides less than 6 feet away into Katchouk. Five strides is how many fingers you have on each hand so you can count along and three is what it takes for charging.
@@alexanderh.999 all but 3 teams who made the playoffs last year were over the cap... but keep trying to come up with lame excuses to discredit us and keep embarrassing yourself 😂
@@IzDawg813 If you cannot tell what is intentional cheating the system vs being over the cap in the playoffs then maybe you should stop pretending knowing anything about hockey. Waiting to see more Tampa players gets crushed and injured. 😆
@@alexanderh.999 dude you got to be messed up to get enjoyment out of someone’s pain. You like to see people get injured? Wow you are an idiot with no care for people’s lives.
Pretty dumb hit. It's a clean hard hit but could have hurt his goalie just as easily. Could have gone more into his chest and pushed him back or to the end boards and had the same effect
@@zalapski9399 lol no and no, I know a guy who broke his femur getting hit and slamming the ice. Footballs off the table too. It’s one of thing to train how to fight as that has real world advantage for the risk, but hockey and football are solely entertainment. Not to mention how expensive hockey is. My mom told me the reason I didn’t have a college fund is because I played competitive hockey. Other than some good memories there really not point when most kids don’t even make it to junior a or b
good i'm glad katchouck got nailed. Pu-nk former greyhound was known for talking s#it and hot dogging in games that were out of hand against inferior teams '16-'18 with the soo. Too bad they choked in the finals that year to playoff mvp robert thomas and bulldogs.
