interesting take in la Presse

Quand on calcule le temps entre la fin de la prise de possession de la rondelle et la mise en échec sur les trois jeux en question, ceux de Greig, Struble et Xhekaj, le coup de Xhekaj est pourtant le moins tardif. Mais il est le plus spectaculaire en raison du gabarit de l’agresseur, 6 pieds 4 pouces et 240 livres.

so the "least late" hit was the wifi one, but always easier to bash the goon

it's really dumb if Xhekaj gets suspended while Greig gets nothing, but it wouldn't surprise me since the league has a nice track record of making dumb and inconsistent decisions.

Wasn't eating much bacon before tbh. Which sucks, but it was an habit.

Mostly cut off M&Ms and Nutella toasts for breakfast.

I don't think they can/will suspend Xhekaj.

That would open the door to suspend intent.

Because Xhekaj ends up hitting Stutzle's gloves, which sends his own stick in his face.

If anything, it was the perfect hit. The hockey equivalent of "why are you hitting yourself?" Brillant!

We all know he wanted to do much worse. But the end result is what it is.

The hit is not the issue.

The chicken wing at the end, flying elbow follow-through, is.

In fairness, I'd take my grandmother over Yannick Weber or a Raphael Diaz.

And she has been dead for 8 years.

yeah he could've knocked him out cold for sure if he wanted to... I just find it's silly that Greig's hit was only worth 2 minutes because it was deemed there was no contact to the head, while for Xhekaj the contact was made so he got a game misconduct. they were basically the same hit, but because players don't all have the same height and weight the results were different.

If that lands on Stutzle's head, I completely agree.

It didn't.

And it's not like Greig doesn't have the reputation already of throwing dumbass hits like those.
