That looks, at least in slow-mo, as a fairly innocuous hit.
Also, I'm surprised Tripp Tracy didn't start whining about Orpik/Cole in that video.
But man, the Hurricanes can't catch a break.

Was that the Canes broadcast or Craig Laughlin for the Caps?Digitalgypsy66 wrote:That looks, at least in slow-mo, as a fairly innocuous hit.

In any case, Niskanen just pushed off what should have been Skinner's chest with a forearm and wasn't even looking at him, nothing even warranting a penalty there. Skinner of all people should be moving around leading with his chin in an area of high traffic like that.

Lindholm also left the game after blocking a shot in the 3rd.
Not a great off-season for the Franchise led by Ronnie Franchise

The best thing the Canes can accomplish this year is to suck and get the #1 pick.
If they can unload Semin, that would be a runner up.

I am glad we don't have a GM who would give a guy like Semin $7 million a year for 5 years. Oh, wait...pcm wrote:The best thing the Canes can accomplish this year is to suck and get the #1 pick.

Semin is a really, really good player. His reputation does not match what actually happen on the ice.

Re: Matt Cookeskanen (Jeff Skinner is woozy related)
That looked kinda dirty to me. Went high, extended the elbow/forearm through contact to the head, from the player's blindside. Should be suspendable.

Also, even if it's "bad" contract....GMs in places like CAR have to hand them out.mikey287 wrote:Semin is a really, really good player. His reputation does not match what actually happen on the ice.

Re: Matt Cookeskanen (Jeff Skinner is woozy related)
Talk to any Canes fan and they will tell you Semin is one of their best forwards along with being their second best defensive forward after Jordan. He's the least of their problems.
This sucks for Skinner, though. He had a pension for getting destroyed his first couple years in the league. Youtube Jeff Skinner hit and there's like 15 videos of him getting nailed harder any shot Crosby has taken throughout his career. It looked like he was gaining some more awareness on the ice last season though. Hopefully this isn't another concussion because I'll fear for his career if he's getting concussed from contact that innocuous.

That looks to be random/incidental/very common contact.

If that bump made Skinner woozy, its time for him to retire. There was like zero impact on that hit.
Edit: Confirmed concussion. Fourth of his career at 22 years old.

Re: Matt Cookeskanen (Jeff Skinner is woozy related)
I looked at it briefly last night, but it didn't look dirty...he didn't expect Skinner to turnaround like that...it's unfortunate...I feel bad for Skinner...he's this "generation's" Ales Hemsky...he gets blasted constantly...

NHLPA should step in and make him retire. NHL should also. Dude is going to be messed up for life if he keeps it up.

Man, looks innocent but why is Nisky's elbow that high in the first place?

If he was a better skater, people would be in love with him. If he were 20 pounds heavier on top of that, he'd be the highest paid player in the league and ovechkin would be in russia.mikey287 wrote:Semin is a really, really good player.

It looks more like Matt was trying to push him away. It was like a bicep-shiver... odd.

Re: Matt Cookeskanen (Jeff Skinner is woozy related)
It wasn't high at all, Skinner was ducking for some inexplicable reason. Nisky was also ducking. And his elbow never even hits his head, it's the thumb of the glove which is hard plastic which got Skinner.Malkamaniac wrote:Man, looks innocent but why is Nisky's elbow that high in the first place?
Unfortunate accident that would have left almost anyone no worse for wear, if this gave Skinner a concussion he should retire now.
