If you’re making contact with the numbers on someone’s jersey then absolutely not
soulknife20
No. Not at all. This wasn’t a « Keep your head up » type of situation. This was Debrincat was in a vulnerable position and the person who hit him, didn’t need to do that
Dmckilla7
That was debrincat’s fault, I mean that’s what the TNT announcers said.

I’m a Rangers fan.
That should be a five minute game misconduct for Boarding/Checking From Behind, and a suspension for at least two games.
He essentially Piledrivered the Wings player head first into the boards. They rarely allow that in a scripted wrestling match, let alone a fast paced game of hockey. I’m a big fan of physical hard hitting hockey, but this is flat out dangerous.

Claude Lemieux vs Chris Draper

TNT: He was asking for it.

Those announcers were horrible jackasses.
Tequilacowboybouncer
That could’ve paralyzed or even killed him if he hit his neck wrong wow
RangersGoalieFanClub
Worse than the one they called before

Not at all. Scary to watch.

Beautiful save

Poor cat has had a rough past few games
Alextryingforgrate
Clean no, Dirty no, Bad yes.

People better learn how to hit before the NHL bans it

Dirty dirty dirty. I’m old enough to have watched Draper break his entire face on a remarkably similar hit by the dirtiest player of all time, Claude Lemieux.
I hope the Wings have a long memory on this one. The gloves dropped on the first face off during the following game after Lemieux did that. And Draper was a 4th line grind liner.
This could have ended the season and derailed the career of our best player.

Can we get a petition going to fire these bozo announcers

not even vaguely
I wish the NHL called hitting from behind they way they have in minor hockey for the last 35 years
osprey9711
Right in the numbers. 5 plus game for boarding from behind.
osprey9711
His elbow actually hits directly between the 9 and the 3.
Sensitive_Response42
It would be a yes if he wasn’t launched into the wall at Mach Jesus

Why is this even a question? A body check cannot be legally delivered from behind.
buddachickentml
No.
Watchesandgolfing
As someone who worked up through the JODP for USA Hockey… no! That is an easy penalty call. The league should be looking at this for a suspension, super dangerous and has no place in the game.

TROUBA, NO!!!

Sorry, force of habit.

Kreider is usually clean but that is boarding. After trouba getting away with a slash I feel like my rangers need a talking to
dr00bles1
Bad hit. Missed call.
boverton24
No
Spiritual_Holiday511
Entirely not a clean hit. Those announcers said a lot of words, while saying absolutely nothing of any substance. Even if he did know Kreider was coming, what the fuck do they want him to do? Trying to put the responsibility on Cat for being hit in the numbers like that is ridiculous.
SwanzY-
Should’ve been a penalty and should definitely be a fine. Awful announcers who don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about, anytime I have to listen to a feed other than Ken and Mick I want to mute it immediately. Blatant hit in the back, never okay.
ImOnRedditMaaan
As soon as I opened this I thought immediately that was boarding.. then I watched it a time or two more… And it was still boarding. What a cheap shot.
smokintritips
Fuck the announcers. That is all.
PantasticMikaFox
Why do his legs leave the ice? 🤔
DisasterMonk
No, and Biz and the TNT gang were a joke defending both of the boardings tonight honestly.
CravenMH
Boarding for sure. Bad spot too, few feet from the boards is bad news.

Anyone who thinks Kreider didn’t check up and actually avoided killing that guy is crazy…..or a Montréal fan with Kreider Derangement Syndrome.
