squiggy tough guy! That type of play has no place in hockey - it has no redeeming value. The sham NHL/Office of Player Safety purports to want to end head shots/player concussions. The prior posted vid clearly shows Reaves hits Hronek's face/head first... but even if it was a follow-through (which it wasn't), the head was clearly hit by career cheap-shot artist Reaves. The guy has a history of 3 suspensions and 3 separate situations where he was fined.
Stop spreading disinformation.  No, it doesn’t clearly show Reaves hitting face/head first.  Regardless, no player has immunity to getting hit clean just because they hang their head below shoulder level.  Anyways, the NHL already agreed that Reaves DID NOT target the head.  TSN also agreed today.  Younger players just aren’t used to get hit hard but clean in the middle of the ice anymore.  It’s almost been eliminated in junior hockey, so these idiots come up to the NHL with no clue.  There’s already a rule in place outlawing hits to the head.  This wasn’t one of them.

I squished a cankerworm on the sidewalk when I was a kid and its insides were bright green and yellow, so that colour combination always brings back images of that.
Can't stand having mustard and relish on my hotdog anymore.
Not that I eat hotdogs.

But I'm partial to the Jets 1990s era jerseys. Too bad they aren't making the playoffs, because they'd look great in a White Out

weasel wording - did goon Reaves target the head or hit the head, hey!

All I said was that, contrary to what our pet idiot claimed, the first point of contact was his head, which is true.

... That type of play has no place in hockey - it has no redeeming value. The sham NHL/Office of Player Safety purports to want to end head shots/player concussions.

The guy has a history of 3 suspensions and 3 separate situations where he was fined.

the sham NHL Office of Player Safety ruled that, yes... the first point of contact was the head; however, facets of the related bullshyte rule 48.1 determined Reaves would not face any supplemental discipline for the hit; specifically in relation to whether or not the head contact was unavoidable and/or whether or not the opponent put himself in a vulnerable position.

the NHL hypocrisy is paramount here as reflects upon a supposed hyped want to avoid head shots and related concussion.

Nope.  The first point of contact was NOT the head.  It was the upper chest.  The contact with the head was after.  Regardless, you can’t skate around with your head down at shoulder level and not expect to get hit.

See, chest first, and no extension from Reaves, or his arms.

Nope.  You can keep saying that over and over, but it doesn't make it true.  Even the video you posted shows first contact is with the shoulder.  It's a clean hit, and  you really need to get over it.  People like you need to stop watching hockey then, before you completely ruin it.

Complete nonsense.

You'd think someone like you with personal experience with brain damage would be more empathetic towards people wanting to reduce concussions and CTE.

It's so funny that you keep posting this still which is clearly after the initial contact and still shows Reaves' elbow/shoulder making contact with Hronek's head and not his chest.

If the Leafs do make the playoffs, they should be relieved they won't face the insurmountable challenge of Arizona in the first round.  🤣

When the injured players on the Jets return in a month, they should be good, as they finally have a good coach.  The Oilers have always been a two man show (McDavid & Drai) and nothing else. Flames and Canucks are going nowhere.  Leafs are good, but they seem to always choke in the playoffs. Senators have been a dumpster fire for 5 seasons.  Habs need to rebuild without Price.

Finally, the NHL should take a cue from the movie Ol'Yeller, and put the Coyotes out of their misery by moving them to Texas or Quebec.

Well the Jets beat the Oilers, and Ovechkin scored 3 goals on NYE.

Happy New Year to all.

Oilers are 7-1-2 in their last 10 and have clawed their way within spitting distance of the top of the Pacific, so the chance of a very disappointing playoffs grows ever larger.

Canucks are a dumpster fire. 
Gino Odjick passed away…. One of the greatest Canucks ever.

His cousin designed the Sens’ indigenous logo.  Looks great.

Why are there women at the NHL all star game?  There are probably 100 Junior players that are better than them and will never have a chance to go.
