Doesn't seem dirty to me, it looks like he was actually slowing up too, as if he was just trying to ride him out

Had that happen to Giroux, you'd say differently though. Of course you don't think it's dirty.

 

[puckhead]

I've watched it multiple times already. He came up high with the hit and from behind. Idk how it can be argued against that, without 1. Biased opinions and 2. Ranger haters.

It's a lose/lose argument.

Idc if there is no discipline for it. Just want MacTruck to be okay.

I'll give you hands were high. (ish)
But you gotta concede on 'from behind'


hope McD is ok. good luck down the stretch.

U think that hit is from behind???

And his hands were high?

More like mcdonogh was bent over

And more face palms for u

Thanks! I'd say we'd help let Ottawa sink, but I wanna beat them on Saturday.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

What is this hands high shit? Burrows had his hands in near his sturnum and mcdonough is bending on an angle so he is right unfortunately in the way

Thats how they teach u to brace for a hit

Had that happen from Sedin, you'd say differently though. Of course you think it's dirty. . You are reacting to Burrows not the actual hit. lots of people seem to think its not dirty.

I'm not even gonna bother anymore, you guys will defend the hit, i'll go against it. No point in doing this sjnce we don't see eye-to-eye.

I'm brushing it off and hoping McDonagh is okay. We got the win after being dominated in the 2nd period and trying to give you the game. Have a good night and good luck the rest of the way!

Johnny if that was one of the mediocre Rangers players you probably wouldn't be up in arms as much over it - hopefully McD is okay but not every hit against one of your best players is dirty

But but but the hit was thrown by that scumbag burrows

/and im the biased one

Idc who took the hit, to say i'm biased because it was a top player is ridiculous. If Dominic Moore was hit like that i'd be pissed as well. That's just idiotic

/and im the biased one

The same scumbag Burrows who came out and praised AV for getting him to where he is in his career

I forgot Burrows has such a clean track record

Same man who speared Staal 2 years back. : L

A different angle - I never like it when a guy is already engaged with one player and a second player comes in to deliver a hit against a guy who is basically defenseless.

 

[mattola]

 

[Cobiemonster]

Looking at that other angle, I don't even think Burrows pushed him - he made contact but I think Kassian's force was putting him into the boards, not Burrows

U say it like its the first time in nhl history 2 guys have crushed an opposition player

U see a hit u take it ... And this one is clean

This was similar to the other day when Zac Rinaldo and I think it was Michael Raffl, who sandwiched Iggy(which led to the fight) - guys get sandwiched all the time

I see it more on burrows

In fact if anything mcd is dis-"engaged" from kassian

Well yeah, I don't think Burrows really contributed to it because McD's force was already going towards the boards, but it looked like Kassian was letting go there late

Or maybe you see a chance to grab the puck and feed it to a teammate? I don't know, you're down by two goals, maybe that's a better option in the final minute?

/just sayin'
