He looks completely out of it.

This young man should seriously consider taking alot of time off before returning... his future may depend on it.

I hate those late hits.
- Fredobface


Debateable. It was one steamboat. The problem is that Letang was trying to avoid the hit, skating backwards, and was off balance. Hard to come away uninjured when all 3 of those things happen at once.

Yeah, especially considering the only thing the Coyotes are fighting for is the top lottery spot while the Pens are about to get into the playoffs.

I hope the Leafs don't sink that low

If he and Pageau ever played on the same line, they'd score 6 goals every night against the Habs.

Happens a dozen times every game. Necessary or not, it's not surprising.

Letang made a hockey play. The puck was long gone and it was a check that had no hockey meaning. A bodycheck is supposed to be a tool to seperate a player from the puck.

Even still, at that speed, when Doan is skating in to finish his check he clearly must be able to see that the puck is leaving Letangs stick & if he wasn't a garbage hockey player he should be focused on turning around to backcheck instead

No, not surprising, but still a thing I would rather not see. If it were up to me I'd get rid of it.

The notion of "finishing your check" is ridiculous and serves no purpose other than either to hurt or interfere.

Maybe he did see the puck was gone. Maybe he didn't care?

I have no problem with the play. I would also have had no problem had it been called a penalty (and notice in the video the ref was looking right at the hit, and called nothing). I would further have no problem if Doan is suspended.
