Keep your head up, kid! Clean hit!

I know it was clean but for the purpose of this, Smith can go **** himself

I am not Brendan Smith.

(Yes, I understand the title. Just making a joke.)

Maybe it's payback for Smith singlehandedly winning Chicago the playoff series against Detroit in 2013?

And I think you guys know what I was trying to type before the “you”

Would say the same about all the late hits Connor Murphy was throwing.

If Smith can injure one of our players, 2 can play at that game

Who said it wasn’t a clean hit? Everyone I heard comment agrees he was doing his job. Doesn’t mean Hawks fans can’t send some hate his way.

Smith’s was a clean hit. Did you want him to let Bedard walk in on the PK?

Murphy was throwing dirty late hits.

Also looks like foligno took himself out trying to fight smith

As long as it’s not death threats or anything offensive, then any hate would be ok

You're a troll just trying to get attention. LOL I said my opinion. There's nothing wrong with that.

I don't care what you do. 😂

The voodoo doll of him I’m making won’t kill him, I promise.

At this point I'd be on the phone with any team in the Metro offering up T-Bay's 1st for Smith's season ending injury. Next season Hughes is gonna get LIT UP!

I see. You can offer your opinion & it’s fine. I offer a different opinion than yours & I’m just a troll trying to get attention. Way to be all-star. Maybe I’ll ask your permission before I speak next time since you are so superior to me. Why don’t you do me a favor & hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

No, no no, let Hughes off, he did nothing wrong, only take out the offenders

Preds accept

You make a statement by taking out one of their stars. Hughes is going to pay for Smith being a piece of crap.

“I love”

💀

Hughes literally already got injured later in the game you moron.

Smith: Clean hit
Connor Murphy: throws multiple late hits trying to injure devils players later on
Multiple guys jumped bastian
Multiple guys jumped smith (foligno broke his hand trying to fight smith)

And then you injured hughes later in the game

1. Brendan Smith hits Bedard cleanly
2. Bedard gets hurt
3. Foligno challenges Smith to answer for clean hit
4. Foligno gets hurt

Even your coach said it was a clean hit….said he watched it on bench and saw it was clean hit. So why did Hischier, who didn’t even have puck, get run by Murphy? Why did Donato jump on Bastian while he was mid-fight with Vlasic?

The amount of dirty plays after the Bedard injury was embarrassing. No one should have to answer for a clean hit….let alone an entire team. But it was their star player, so I get Foligno asking Smith for a fight (Smith talked about it in post-game interview and said Foligno did it with class)

It’s unfortunate Bedard was hurt…but if there is any franchise that sympathizes with Hawks, it’s probably NJD as we see teams take unnecessary runs at Jack and Nico all the time. Especially slower, less-skilled teams that would otherwise get carved up by them.

NHL needs to protect their stars. But the tit-for-tat after a clean hit just ends up with more players injured.

(I know you mean something else)

Sorry about Bedard getting hurt. Sounds like most guys return in 4-6 weeks…so hopefully he gets back this season for final 20-25 games or so.

It sucks…and we have often been on other side of this.

You had some legit statements in there & you had some statements that make me wonder if you watched the game.
“Murphy throwing late hits & trying to injure devils players”. I’m calling you on that 1 but we could argue for years & not agree about it. However, if you’re being honest, you know Hughes took himself out. That was plain as day.

The hits Murphy threw on Bastian and Nico were late as hell.

Hughes injury was non-contact injury...his skate caught an edge.
