Pretty zone entry with his head between his legs in front of Trouba

replying to your own comment from last night? noice.


Barron didn't have his head down, he just wasn't ready for that hit at all. he was looking the other way and should've been aware of what was coming.

He was kinda crouched overall, his head is around the board level, but I would say he was just crouching instead of simply having his head down.

well he wasn't standing perfectly straight up because he had the puck.

the good news is that hits to the head are now perfectly legal.
fun times.

also, good morning to all

They could not even get a field goal after allowing a touchdown

but they are....


in the mix!


Let's see how MSTL gets the troops to gel and perform, not looking good so far this year except the game against the Sens

Trouba could get suspended, given that he has a history, but we all know this league is a (frank)ing joke.

they are in the mix... for the 1st overall pick lol
they should get better. Dach will eventually be 100%, Slaf and Laine too.
that will change things quite a bit.
just have to wait a month or 2. of course it will be way too late to be in the mix but who cares? nobody really believed that bs imo.


except Pat of course

that was the good news about last night.
I don't remember the last time a Habs instigated a fight on the spot. usually the players on the ice look at each others and do nothing, then wifi has to take care of business later during the game.
bravo à Matheson. 2 morceaux de robot

He bent over right before Trouba came in to hit him. Trouba is a headhunter but that was for from his worst hit, he didn't jump or reach up if Barron stays upwright the shoulder hits the chest.

I'm probably biased because I have an irrational hate for Barron.

lol
while I agree that Barron was not standing straight up, to me a hit to the head is a hit to the head. period. wether it's with the shoulder or the elbow or the stick, blindsided or not... doesn't matter.
I know the rule says otherwise, it shouldn't.

They have a couple of CHaracters guys in the system now, Florian X, Luke Tuch, Mailloux would have done it if he was on the ice, Struble probably, Pezz maybe Anderson.

Well for me you can't blame the guy if he bends over or turns around as the last second. Putting yourself in a vulnerable position shouldn't be a defense mechanism.

9:35 p.m. ET
Montreal has called in to say they may be calling a major on Jacob Trouba for his monster hit on Justin Barron.

Barron remains down as they have gone to a television timeout.

There is no penalty for Trouba's hit. Mike Matheson received an instigator minor for going after Trouba after the hit. They both got five minutes for fighting.

But here in the Situation Room, all agreed it was a good, clean hit by Trouba and that Barron needs to recognize he's vulnerable to be hit in that position and needs to be prepared for it.

Rob Shick, the officiating manager working the Situation Room tonight, then got on the headset with Marc Joannette, who is the officiating manager working the game at Bell Centre, to tell him that during the next break get on the phone with the on-ice officials and let them know that it was looked at multiple times here in the Situation Room and all agreed with their decision in real time to not give Trouba a penalty for the hit.

Shick said it's good to let the officials on the ice know in real time that the call they made was the right call. He said it gives them the confidence to know they're doing a good job and to keep doing it even as coaches, in this case Martin St. Louis of the Canadiens, are yelling at them and players are emotional in the moment too.

Well, glad I was too busy to watch the game and got to miss all that....

yeah, difficult to rule these, it's rarely black or white. we want clean hits, but then we don't want hits to the head, they need to protect players' health.
or not.

I don't watch football, I know they have a rule to protect the QB. does the rule say something if the QB puts himself in a vulnerable position? or a hit to the head is a hit to the head, period?

Agree, to me it should have been a 1 game suspension
