Weight can be irrelevant to a hit. I’ve seen many smaller guys drop heavier players. Look up 150 lb Tyler Ennis and see some of the guys in the 200 lb range that he hammered. Ennis took some ferocious hits himself because he was so small.

As for Barkov embellishing that hit, please explain how you think that.

One he's either charmin soft or embellishment, the way he acted how the hell was he in the line up today, a clear message i would send my team is any chance you get check Barkov, even act like it if you are near him.

Let's not put our head in the sand and act like the NHL isn't a bully league

Besides you didn't answer my question about Moore so your omission tells me all i need to know

Man the Toronto top 5 forwards are good. Rival Hawks top 5 in their prime talent wise at least.

Think if this leafs team had a Keith Seabs type top pairing. They were lucky with Keith’s contracts avv.

How about a Rinzel 😁

Ottawa this team will be known for one to many passes this playoff year

[quote=BetweenTheDots]1 its been a physical series, Barkov is chasing the puck, how is he not aware that Hagel is there, shoulder to shoulder hit, other than Hagel losing track of the puck I thought there was nothing wrong with it. I would be upset if that happened to a Blackhawks player sure but theres gotta be some awareness by Barkov.

I didn't like Moore getting hit by Guhle but Guhle didn't get suspended a game for that hit.

Different scenarios, the puck was coming towards Moore, Barkov never touched and eas chasing the puck.

The puck was still about 5 feet away from Moore when contact was initiated. Apples/oranges? Idk…both were bad hits.

The way things unfolded in Vancouver, i would steer clear of him

Carle withdraws his name from Blackhawks coaching search.

Come oooonnnnnn Todd Nelson!!

What's in Carle's past that he doesn't want exposed?

Damn a 4 minute minor cause of a little blood

So is Zub going to get suspended for a game for elbowing Tavares in the head?

Maybe he read this blog and thought no way I want those clowns ripping on me all season.

Probably went to HFBoards and said NFW do I want to be an NHL coach

Possibly afraid that Eklund was going to say he was going to decline the job -- which basically means fate will make you take it ... and had to get it out there first, to avoid being made to do it. . .
