I don't think it was a clean hit ... I'm pretty sure it was a hit to the head.

Either way, I don't care what the rules say, there are lots of NHL rules that suck ... if it's not a suspension it's another example of a huge problem with the NHL.

If u check Twitter there is a freeze frame of it and it shows it clean. Pretty close but principle contact is the chest. Hard hit and it sucks Ent got rocked but that's why they tell yah don't puck watch

As we see hits like this so often. Small forward puck watching Dman lines em up bam

Whether or not it was "clean" (according to the rules), hits like that shouldn't be in the game.

A shoulder to chest hit shouldn’t be part of the game? What hit should be part of them game then?

McCabe’s hit does have a clean point of contact, however, he lifts his elbow right after the hit thus elbowing the guy in the face, he’s most likely facing a fine for that

Recap of day 2 of the nhl playoffs

The rangers power play reigns supreme over the devils with a 5-1 win

The lightning blowout the leafs in embarrassing fashion, the game was basically over the moment Bunting got ejected from the game, Tampa wins 7-3

Shockingly Hellebuyck didn’t have to do much as the Jets absolutely dominated the knights 5-1

Philip Grubauer has the game of his life against his former team the avalanche and helps Seattle win its first ever playoff game in team history 3-1

And with the Kraken win, All the higher seeds in the west fell in game 1, will they recover?

"BAH GAWD! SHELDON KEEFE WITH A STEEL CHAIR!"

Only 2 of the higher seeds overall ( Boston and Carolina ) won their game 1, they should all recover though

I could complain about refs or about Keefe or just the sloppy giveaways… but I’m just accepting the failure. I’m too numb to it at this point. I am too damaged to feel the hurt anymore.

That’s so sad. This team has toyed with your feelings for years

Expect disappointment and you will never be disappointed (lol)

Yep I’m a pit of despair and seed of discontent. I have nothing but failure to expect. They are cursed. The kids can be optimistic all they want but not me. I don’t care if Auston stays or goes. In fact if he goes he will probably win a cup elsewhere.

I didn’t get this way overnight. It took years but I’m here.

When was your first year as a leafs fan

1975 is the first year I remember clearly.

That’s a lot of pain

That man has a family Keefe!

I thought 5 years of suffering as a Blackhawks fan was bad 🤣

Edit: I’ve been a hawks fan for longer though and I kind of got spoiled during the dynasty

Yep

As man a lot of the teams just didnt come out swinging as u would have expected

But doubt they all continue to play like that as its just not them. Sometimes people take to much stock in one game. Still 6 more to go. They got their wakeup calls so gonna be interesting to see the responses

We did this in Blues land.

Presidents trophy? How about Owen Nolan scores from the #$#%ing redline to win a game 7.

First round? We’ve lost in the first round THIRTEEN TIMES since 1990.

I remember them all.

Some things have to get worse before they get better. Then they get worse again.

the Blues literally won the cup 4 years ago

In general its games like the one yesterday that wake teams up and even then there are lots of games to play

Look at last year

Rangers were down 3-1 in the series vs. Pitt rallied back won in 7 then were down 2-0 vs Car came back to tie then despite being down 3-2 rallied back and won in 7.

Tampa down 2-0 vs. Rangers rallied back won in 6. Could even look earlier lost 5-0 vs. TOR did Coop panic no as his team responded gm 2


Hockey is a weird sport especially in the playoffs. Momentum is like a swing vs a breeze

"Hits like that shouldn't be in the game" - Guy whose favorite team employs Trouba

Correct. It took a lifetime of agony to get it, and now we’re retooling.

Actually, to highlight: my grandpa passed awhile back. He had season tickets for over 30 years. Saw the finals 0 times.

Trouba makes lots of hits I don't like which I also don't think should be a part of the game.
