Lol these Detroit commentators are my favourite."Barzal had nowhere else to go. He was just the meat in that sandwich".

[@TheKlenkster]

best in the business

[@CLNCJD94]

They do a good job of not showing too much bias. Like yeah obviously they get more excited when Detroit scores but outside of that they still call plays pretty fairly and try to remain neutral when it comes to calls.

[@Strife150]

As a wing's fan we've been spoiled for the last 20+ years

[@kylecronin8737]

Islanders took another penalty and Raymond scored during the 2 man advantage. Felt like poetic justice after taking that penalty against Washington the other night (offsetting minors where he did nothing).

[@DynoMikeGaming]

that officiating was some of the worst shit ive ever seen though. Romanov never hooked the guy, wings got away with a fuck ton of calls. Horribly officiated game.

[@TheKlenkster]

@@DynoMikeGaming i agree with the hooking and wings getting away with a lot of calls, but islanders also got away with a shit ton of calls as well. Just bad officiating in general.

[@Koolasso]

@@TheKlenkster I think islanders got the short end of the stick on this game though bud

[@pianotalent6437]

It’s annoying when you hit clean that everyone gets mad but at the same time, it’s nice to get a little old time hockey back every now and then

[@Piscopizzle]

Exactly. I'm still confused by people that say old Time hockey didn't have this

[@AngusArtEntertainment]

What makes you so sure they thought it looked clean the moment it happened? Everyone forgets how fast the sport is, so much so that any hit that looks slighty harsh live (no luxury of a replay like we do) will make them want to send a message.

[@fearlessleader8623]

If that hit was on anyone else besides barzal it wouldve been a non-issue...but every team protects their star players, isles are no different

[@superninjapirate19]

@@AngusArtEntertainment no lol it was only because it was the isles star player. Clutterbuck getting leveled doesn’t get that type of response

[@wantutosigh1117]

Also the Islanders have engaged in almost ZERO rough stuff all year. It was about time something boiled over. Your star getting crunched is a good reason.

[@dwaynethewokjohnson7773]

Not only is he a highly skilled playmaker with good hands and good speed. Not only is he a reliable 2-way player. But he has gotten stronger aswell and now starts to throw around the body more! Beautiful hit! Wasn’t afraid of the scrum aswell! Oilers fan here but I really like what this Detroit team is turning into.

[@ts13f65]

You could have the same thing if the oilers do away with Ken Holland

Oh for old time hockey to return😞

[@Shred89]

Good clean hit. Happy to see he is not backing down or shying away from being targeted. Good on him.

[@Dracox78000]

I was a little disappointed Larkin hesitated there a bit to jump in. Happy with the other boys response though. Seiders a beauty!

[@russellny8086]

Looked clean can’t think you can just skate free into the zone and not get hit. Good hockey play. 👌🏼

[@glaxko2]

Take note Leaf fans: THIS is the kind of response you should expect from your team.

[@xGSFxGoat]

The league needs to start cracking down on this garbage. Stop throwing temper tantrums after clean hits or you're going to get a delay of game penalty.

[@andypetrovich2155]

Clean hit. It wasn't even vicious. It looked like Raymond slowed up anticipating contact. I was taught to always play the body and keep your head up!

[@82dupont]

As an Islander fan i can’t stand it when players get hit cleanly and players scrum afterwards. If it’s happening all game and he is being targeted then yes, send a message, but if the star player gets hit once and it’s clean, I would be ok with it, he’s a man and is playing a man’s game.

[@wantutosigh1117]

Islanders have barely engaged in any rough stuff all year. It was about time they got fired up over something. Perfect situation to get involved.

[@barriem5318]

I'm an islanders fan and that's a clean hit. Shouldn't be fighting over a clean hit. Are we in highschool?

[@wantutosigh1117]

Stop. You protect your star regardless of "clean" or not. The Isles have barely engaged in any rough stuff all year. Something like this was due. Perfect reason.

[@jordanlarson6488]

Love a huge hit by a small player. 10/10

[@johnsweet96]

Good clean hit. I know it's tough to see a teammate get hit, but these scrums after clean hits need to stop. Its a skill player hitting a skill player. Whats the problem? Its not like they brought a goon from the minors to target star players. These scrums are bad for hockey

[@kenduffy5397]

Is a NY Islanders fan; it was a totally clean hit! Over the summer I was watching all of Moritz’s highlights. (I’m a huge Moritz Seider fan) These were the same Detroit announcers that I had to listen to (for about an hour) & they’re great!

[@Alfzilla8]

First you take your slice of Raymond then you smear Barzal on a fresh slice of Larkin.

[@MaskAnimations]

So stupid how you can’t land a clean hit without having to fight or get in a scrum. It’s a clean hit.

[@Jeff-nf9ii]

If that was Matthews hed just stand there and smirk not even a tie up. Watching these highlights seeing others star players at least engaging not a good look

[@secubish]

One of the cleanest hits I’ve ever seen

[@tkp80]

I just don't understand why after clean hits someone starts a scrum. You can hit anybody and clean.

[@SuggyPopSodaBoy]

lol he was jumped for a clean hit. I mean its acceptable for one guy to answer, but dont jump the kid

[@j.thomas7128]

Clean hit... scrum. Wayyyy too often.

[@irvinepoker3187]

Matthews would be nervously smiling lol good on raymond go wings

[@MrVisde]

That was a textbook open ice hit.

[@nalaeel219]

Didnt see a need for a scrap, that was a good clean hit.

[@kenduffy5397]

Also, I looked for this hit to tweet how Raymond was jumped for no reason! I can’t just tweet that Alexander Romanov’s hit on Miles Wood was clean & seem biased because I’m a Islanders fan! It was a clean hard hit! (Miles Wood is one of my favourite players now) Because Miles Wood tweeted this: “I’ve never been hit like that in my lifetime. He just read the play well and I just kind of fell into his lap (…) it was a clean hit.” Wow, how cool is that?! A modern-day player saying that is very rare! (It’s the truth) But still rare considering all of the crybabies in the NHL these days! It’s nice to have a class act & a true professional for a change!

[@SherLock55]

There has been a few nice hits in this game already, bound to happen.

[@bab3242]

Haven't seen that nice of an open ice hit in a long time, hockey's gotten soft if players freak out over that. I could see if it was a hit to the head but that was as clean as clean can be

[@kenduffy5397]

We’ve been learning on Gary Bettmann to do something about these RIDICULOUS retaliatory fights! There was ZERO reason for ANY Islanders player to attack Raymond!

[@allaboutNDIRISH]

"clean checks arent allowed i guess" lmao nope not these days

[@InfamousSlappy]

Whats hilarious though, is if that happened to a Detroit player this same guy would be crying that the Detroit teammates did nothing.

[@davrogrz4542]

No team can take a clean hit anymore. It takes so much out of the game when teams have to answer for clean hits.

[@johnnybaxter1953]

Why do guys always scrum after a clean hit ??

[@insertgenericusernamehere2402]

I do think the players are trying to bring back the old school vibes sick of all the refs breaking shit up so every time there's a solid fun hit a scrum breaks out.

[@SurfsUp-cw9rv]

don't think that's the issue, as much as i want the old school style to come back. the problem is the players thinking every hit from the opposing team is worth a two minute roughing penalty. I'm sure the islanders coach was real thrilled when his team went down 1-0 after his retard of a third liner decided to "stand up" for barzal lol

[@insertgenericusernamehere2402]

@@SurfsUp-cw9rv idk.... I couldn't give a shit about the islanders. But I think the players want a more physical game.

[@chungus4789]

the scrum isn’t because it’s “dirty” it’s to make a statement like hey don’t hit my star player like that or you’re going to get a response. unreal hit by raymond tho

[@kenneththorberg6914]

And the wings response to the response was response.

[@darkphoenix2]

Problem is that grabbing a dude and wrestling with him for a minute isn't going to stop people from hitting because it's part of the game, you do it to separate players from the puck. It shouldn't be discouraged.

[@Max_m]

Love Mickey. Also, can’t the players hear the ref say it’s clean. So childish to jump in like that, as Mickey says

[@bruce-xi4xc]

Can you even hit anymore in this league without a fight? I get that you stand up for the star on the team but holy shit.

[@Energetik_C]

You just said it lol. U stand up for the superstar on the team. That's how it works

[@GeoFitz4]

Hate to break it to you, but it hasn't been that way in the NHL for decades, if ever.

[@user-ks5hu6sx8p]

Why does everyone say this as if it hasn’t happened since the beginning of hockey lol

[@thejfk_experience490]

​@@user-ks5hu6sx8p yea its funny how so many people complain about hockey getting soft. You see people complain about teams being too soft to take a hit and then when someone throws a hit and there's no fight they'll turn around and complain that the guys should've stood up for their teammate.

[@xGSFxGoat]

@@thejfk_experience490 There's a huge difference between standing up for a teammate who took a hit to the head or knee vs. forcing the play to be stopped because of a clean hit.

You know what I liked in this situation barzal actually tied up with someone instead of just standing around with a stupid grin like matthews the other night.

Do the Islanders have the most brain dead players in the league? Raymond makes a perfect hit on Barzal and three players goes after him...

Isles needed Ross for this game. Red wings were a little too comfortable with hitting and not getting properly hit back. Hopefully we give it to em at UBS next time.

You're clearly joking, the only thing the Isles did all game was lay hits. This play never happens if Raymond didn't get face-washed earlier on.

[@kenneththorberg6914]

If you don´t know which game you are watching it´s called hockey and hits are allowed on anyone on the ice but the refs.

[@OnPoint88]

The league is such a joke now.. you can't even make a clean body check without having the other 4 opposing players mob you If you're not tough enough to take a hit and stand up for yourself- choose another sport

lmao wasn't even a huge hit just a really nice clean one

[@stammeh22]

Just a great hit. Arms down and clean as hell

[@wantutosigh1117]

People being so ridiculous. A little context please. The Islanders have barely engaged in any rough stuff all year. So you know the moment was bubbling up eventually. It's hockey. It happens. Perfect reason to pop off finally. I wish people would stop acting like there weren't fights after clean hits back in the day. There absolutely was. Difference is there was 10x more big hits back then so it was much more part of the game and you couldn't fight after all them. Now, the big open ice hit is so rare then when it does happen, everyone gets excited and reacts. It's only natural. So everyone shut up cuz you're annoying.

[@Karashote]

This shit is getting so annoying. Good clean hits should not be followed up by someone going after the hitter.
