I catch parts of 1-2 out of town games a week, and I wouldn't call it rare. Sabres fans just get in a tizzy whenever it happens

It's a senseless hit

There's absolutely no reason for that to be delivered and especially in that manner, and this isn't from a fans opinion its from my opinion as a ref

If it was a bang bang play then so be it but that was far from it

Dirty? No.

"Extremely late"? No.

Unfortunate? Yes.

It was a hip-check that landed awkwardly a second after he reliquinshed possession of the puck. Both players were already in momentum - the die was cast.

Was it avoidable? Probably.

Is Kuch the new Lucic 2.0 or Marchand 2.0? No.

Now, if this continues into a pattern, I will change my opinion. I am not a homer. I have turned on dirty players on "my" team in the past (see Radko Gudas). But at this point, I think this is overreaction to an unfortunate play. It sucks that he was injured. Nobody wants that.

I'd be pissed if I was a Sabres fan. Yeah, somebody should have stood him up for it. He should have been penalized. But it wasn't dirty, filthy, greasy, scummy, or any of the other words I have seen used to describe it. And yes, I watched it live. And yes I watched it several times on replay at full speed and slo-mo. It's borderline. My opinion would be the same if the teams had been reversed.

This is a physical game played at high speed. Poop happens. I hope this isn't a serious injury. And I would fully expect a Sabre to take a run at Kuch today - and I wouldn't hold it against them as long as it isn't a Marchand spear, Lucic sucker punch, or Crosby chop.

Other than that hit, it was an entertaining game and I look forward to the next one.

I wouldn’t.

At the intermission, JR and Patrick Sharp had a different opinion. Both of them called it dirty.
- Der Kaiser

But GalacticStone said it was just fine, so I think the matter is now settled.

I agree with you. It's a low, late hit. But it's like Milan Lucic is seared into the collective consciousness of Sabres fans. This didn't rise to that level. Play the game, score some goals and move on. I dont need Mojo throwing haymakers

I don't need an all out brawl to stem from this hit, but some sort of response any sort of response was needed

Didnt watch the game, just saw the hit.

This team has no balls.

Weak psyche.

What a joke, get ready for 5 in a row.

I’m not a homer, let me give you my homer take is all I read here. Knees and head end careers, and that was the principle point that was TARGETED and extremely late. It was dirty and Kuch is starting to develop a pattern. Marchand wasn’t always a poop head, then he started doing poop head things.

"Just failing to connect was Okposo"

I am so sick of hearing this 5 times a game.

RJ, please get players names right. My god.

Joker and McCabe are not even close.

Mitts almost got Mojo one there

McElhinney is one of the better backups in the league

With Rick getting all of the players names wrong and Rayzor not being able to finish some words we have a top notch broadcast team.
