Opportunity knocks - Which Leaf steps up with all the injuries?

[@ericmacgillivray537]

Yes a legal hit should not result in a concussion

[@bandoferris]

Bryan Hayes with a great take. I wasn’t even thinking about the GM lense

[@seemyworld1]

I disagree with Frankie. You can get rid of headshots but still allow fighting. A fight is mutually consensual; a blindside hit is not.

[@cystevie7185]

The main point of contact was the head.. that’s why he has a concussion.. but I guess they’re going to gaslight us into thinking it wasn’t

[@WayWillow]

IIHF has it right. Keeping head contact is mind numbing. LITERALLY 😂

[@jamesbond4633]

He left his feet. That was not a legal hit. It's hockey ....not football!!!!

[@ozzydo2314]

No, he did not. Just a simple freeze of the video shows his feet were clearly planted to the ice upon contact. In nearly every hit, the momentum of the hit has players leaving their feet. If this was buffalo, this video wouldn't even exist.

[@jamesbond4633]

@ozzydo2314 You must have failed physics class. You just proved that the momentum of the hit was going up for the player to leave his skates. If the momentum was straight across as in a fair legal check his feet would not leave the ice. Look at the angle of his legs and knees. He was in the process of jumping up at Knies. Doesn't matter if his skates were still touching the ice at the moment of impact.The league has different standards for different players. In the old days this would have been a brawl. Vigilante justice if the league doesn't do it!!!!!

[@travisshorey7296]

Stong disagrees with Frankie it wasn’t clean hit his feet come off ice he jump up what not allow in nhl rule book

[@ronsingh6521]

But does it matter if the head was the first point of contact? It sure looked that way…not through the body. It appeared head first.

[@MrWwwdot]

I disagree. The NHL needs to go towards the IIHF to protect the players and make it clear that hitting the head by accident or not should be punished. It isn't making it softer it is protecting a product and letting players know that as the NHL they have their back especially since these players make the league it's money

[@darryllavallee8102]

Nhl will always change rules to suit themselves. No consistency because they want to make the decisions. Fighting and hitting are 2 different aspects to the game so not even compareable.

[@jdmciviczc]

beniot stepped up

[@thefozzybear]

A hit resulting from leaving the feet should be illegal. Whitecloud left his feet. Anyways any Leaf player delivering the same hit Whitecloud did, I bet you the Leaf will get penalized and suspended, cause the NHL is a joke.

[@stephenmiller5669]

These guys think fans are stupid and we don't know the rules.

[@alcitrullo3124]

Not a big fan of Corrado.

[@ChuckStagg]

Tired about the Robertson saga. He is not an NHL player. certainly not in the Leaf system and playing style. Trade him, wave him whatever.
