Dans quelle mesure est-il important pour les Maple Leafs d’éviter les Panthers et la foudre au premier tour des séries éliminatoires? À quoi devrait ressembler le prochain contrat de John Tavares? Quand prédisez-vous qu’Alex Ovechkin batra le record des buts de la LNH de Wayne Gretzky? Qu’avez-vous pensé de la manœuvre dangereuse que Jalen Chatfield a utilisée lors de la lutte contre Connor McMichael? Le directeur du Scoutisme TSN Craig Button rejoint SC avec Jay Onrait pour discuter.

Fights almost always end in a slam. McMichael isn't very big so this one looks more violent and he started the fight. Shouldn't suspend Chatfield.
You forgot malkin and crosby for most goals since 09
Button is a goof!
That was some kind of martial arts move with the leg. It was no accident either. It absolutely should get a hefty suspension as a warning to all the players: no kicking in a fight (or slew footing either).
This isn't Judo! A reckless and bush league move imo. There is absolutely no place for that in hockey. McMichael could have cracked his head on the ice and it could have been so much worse. Chatfield deserves a suspension and hopefully somebody takes care of him on the ice within the rules of the game.
How about we start suspending gutless paper tiger teams that start trying to hurt the other team's players because they're getting whooped. LOL. The Canes don't fight. The Canes were winning 5-1. You do the math. Caps got what was coming to them.
Tried to slam his head on the ice what a f’in goon
What the fuck do you morons think happens when a player gets KOd? They put a pillow under his head before he falls?
why do you morons keep talking up leafs payroll bastards.
Not a fan of either team, but the refs or should i say ‘’game managers’’ really lost control of that shit show, plenty of uncalled penalties and unsportsmanlike BS way before the Judo move, but in the end, yes he should get suspended maximum 3 games, but knowing the league probably 1 or a fine, unless Chatfield also gambled in a league actively promoting gambling.
That was basically attempted murder. He tried to crack McMichael's head on the ice. That scrub needs to be kicked out of the league
Why its always capitals starting meaningless fights whenever theyre losing?
Imagine for a moment that you know nothing about hockey. Suddenly, an Analyst claims that flipping a guy over with your leg is a gesture that "does not belong in hockey". That this is an attempt to injure. However, if you nail the other guy on the nose with your fists then it is OK. You are not attempting to injure the other guy. You are just engaging in Canadian-style diplomacy. Sometimes, I think that people in other countries find us to be a bit weird. 😉
All this aggressive emotion on both sides was instigated by Tom Wilson….dirtiest player in the league…if he's not in the game none of this happens but with that being said don't pull a chair to the table if you're not ready to eat
Chatfield is consistently called, "a great guy". Washington was outplayed by all aspects and wanted that smoke. They got that smoke.
what happens if Ottawa is down for all these years and play Toronto in their first playoff round. who you taking?
Suspension should warrant 25 games minimum
Washington tried to Goon Carolina and got what they deserved. Wilson has mental issues and should be in treatment. McMichael bullied Chatfield into that fight so he has no pity from me.
Dude slashes repeatedly and wants to start fight only to get thrown like a ragdoll. Let the crying commence. Canes have the least fighting penalties in the league. Caps we're getting shit on and tried starting shit rest of the game. Wilson trying to fight someone half his size is some coward shit
Carolina fans proving they have a combined iq of 45 here:
Attempt to i jure/slew footing. 2-3 game sussy
John Tavares next contract should look like Blue Blanc Rouge 😅
Had to sneak in some Maple Laughs skip to 5:16
He should get an award! Something from Conor McGregor.
MMA guy here who moonlights as a hockey fan. For what it's worth, that was the safest Osoto Gari I've ever seen. Sure the caps player's helmet was off but his chin tucked to his chest so there was plenty of space between his head and the ice upon impact and the angle was very shallow so the force driving that impact was 95% gravity and 5% from the player.
They haven't played well against ottawa either
Fighting is always an Intent to injure.
Hard to say a guy cant toss someone to the ground in a fight when they are punching each other in the face
If it was dirty play to manhandle McMichael like that, the Caps had already pushed the game beyond honorable or respectful fighting. Wilson going after Stankoven who is half his size, Duhaime repeatedly punching Jost in the head while he was on his knees, Dowd’s (I think) intentional high stick to Gostisbehere. Again, Wilson, being a whiny bitch about an accidental slash from Aho after trying to lay him out. Classic fuck around and find out stuff. Dude got thrown to the ice, boohoo 😭
New coach and no 'C' allows Tavaris to play his game.
Disgusting, no room for players like Jalen Chatfield in the NHL.
Toronto will dominate in the playoffs this year for one reason only….THE CHIEF
Ive noticed this take down..whipping people to the ice more this yr it needs to stop .nhl get a handle on it now before someone gets killed.
Dirtiest play I’ve seen in a years. That was a couple inches away from a stretcher with a neck brace and the NHL having another Bertuzzi incident on their hands.
Yes, suspension worthy
But if Chatfield slams his shoulder into his chest while flying down the ice, GREAT HIT!! Lighten up, wrestling calls it a hip toss.😂
Head hit the ice, I like Judo but this is hockey. Suspension without a second look
Canadians are cute. They think because of their goofy accent and living on the wrong side of the border that they're experts on hockey. Since Craig Button can figure it out here's what happened: McMichael gooned it up — and Chatfield gave him a taste of his own medicine. Don't want to get McRagdolled? Don't be a McIdiot by slashing a guy repeatedly then dropping the gloves and basically attack him from behind. Now run along….
Needs to be suspended.
Absolutely suspension worthy
Caps wanna play goon hockey and feed Ovi all night. They got the shit kicked out of them and went on a hunting expedition trying to hurt Canes players. No sympathy at all.
Nope!
Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda. Don’t bring your shit to Carolina and you won’t go home with a limp.
I like the analysis on the Chatfield incident, but isn’t it odd to start a fight against a non-fighter and then complain that the non-fighter tossed you down to the ice?
This should be an 82 game suspension or lifetime ban. A move like that has no intention other than to hurt and given the impact of the head on the ice could have killed mcmicheal he should be criminally charged for assault and barred from play.
I love how they about the leafs having any hope in the first, the leafs could play the sharks in the first and still only have at best a 50% chance of getting out of round one
I say kick Chatfield out of the NHL, that could have killed McMichael! Imagine this scenario: instead of McMichael skating away relatively unscathed, he hits his head hard on the ice, fracturing his skull. He lays there, twitching on the ice, as everyone watching gasps in shock. He is stretchered off the ice, never to play or function normally again or perhaps even dying shortly after as a result. This literally could have happened if his head had been a few more inches closer to the ice when he got slammed. you tell me now that kicking him out of the league isn't worth it to send a message to the league not to do this again. Players' lives mean more than just a game, and this play could have killed someone. There needs to be more than just a meaningless 5 game suspension.
