Ah, so it only looked like he went in there with that intent. Good to know.
- Slump Buster

He didn't care or know who it was, his only intent was to blow whoever it was up.

Soft boys

Absolutely. And the fact the he went a long distance to do it ("gliding at full speed", or otherwise) is charging.

Im glad I got to watch it.

Its a 1 goal game with a minute left. Play till the horn sounds.
- DirtyDan

Then poke check at the puck, hitting him wasn't gonna stop the puck from going in, Evans was already around the net.

He didn't go in there thinking "im going to take this 3rd liner out of the series." Its clean. Stop being so soft.
- DirtyDan

He went in there thinking "I'm going to blow this guy up" instead of "I'm going to try to prevent a goal"

It was a dumb, selfish play

That's nice

Games played so fast he did what he did. Evans didnt defend himself Keep your head up. They teach it in tyke

It was charging that resulted in injury, and an unnecessary hit, which more or less implies charging. It's suspendable.

I think he can be better than what he is in Calgary.
- TheSabresTaco

What makes you think that?

He's been playing with multiple talented players and he's been worse the past 2 years.

Also, how many players get traded to Buffalo and actually improve?

Seems like wishful thinking that a poorly run organization is going to enhance a player's performance when the player is coming from a better organization.

They also teach not to hit players into the boards when you see numbers but alas here we are.

Clean hit,

which is irrelevant when it comes to charging

The contact is arguably clean, but the entire play is not.

Moot point again. Doesnt touch his number or hit him from behind into the boards. He smokes him in the chest.

- TheSabresTaco

IMO they need to institute a new penalty that's reviewable like college football.

Targeting is a great rule that has cleaned up the game and avoids unnecessary injuries from player driving others because they are in a vulnerable position.

Hes gliding, Hows this a charge?

Really thanks for telling me that, they also teach you to respect other players.

Also teach you to not hit players from behind but players still do, but that is a moo point apparently.

Hopefully buffalo has a plan in place we have have a pretty good LHD prospects coming up

Johnson, Samuelsson

If you draft power then Dahlin has to move to right i hope people realize that this is a huge franchise decision and not an easy one

He hits him clean. doesnt skate into him. Doesnt leave the feet. Doesnt have point of contact to the head.

Is just bigger and stronger and is prepared to smash.

Evans has his head up the play is different.

nice job winning the tank war!

So do you trade back a few spots and get the forward and grab a asset.
