Same

i don't, know what you mean, i like it when, every though, warrants its own sentence, and great deliberation of thought, i love when i can hear, the punctuation, in my commentators thought..........processes.

Leave Butch alone. He's getting old

U should maybe listen to more of the game. Judging a commentator off of a minute clip that nothing really was going on is pretty stupid, and say what you want about butch, but Brendan Burke is one of the best commentators in the NHL

Mr Butch is a legend and Brendan is one of the best play by play guys in the NHL. You're dumb.

Bad take. Burke is one of the best in the league. Butch is whatever

Me too

Vancouver needs a whole new team

isnt that what austin watson is? he gets a penalty in this video for retaliating. try to pay attention!

@@megatone9139 no Austin Watson isn't good enough to be an enforcer always loses

@@franksharal5512 I didn’t say he was good 😂

@@megatone9139 lol just making sure 🤣

I thought so too and when I saw the replay, it was a hit from behind and it was the shoulder right in the head. That should be a suspension! Look at 1:06 to 1:07 in quarter of the speed, the only point of contact is the head.

@@DBeau73 aaaand for the second game in a row, what should be a suspension ends up not even being a penalty, resulting in another injured Ottawa player. Fuck these refs.

@@DBeau73 ain't no suspension man... the head was not main intent or the targeted principle point of contact. Even the hit from behind is not much as most of the time it's a no call as pinto turns slightly on his own which leads to the end result. Nothing here is penalty worthy nevermind any suspension needed. Guys now and days will make those board passes and then just turn their back and just expect a hit not to come... If your gonna make those passes then prepare yourself to be hit right after by squaring up your shoulder... instead these guys are turning towards the board and showing their back thinking they are safe and immune from checks. These kids need to learn not to do that and I'm glad NHL notice and sent out memo not to call infraction on these types of plays anymore. Some these guys will do anything to gain some type of in game advantage... even put themselves in harms way.

@@KDotO79 r u fucking drunk, his head was the main point of contact. Also his back was to the boards way before the hit, it wasn’t like he turned at the last second. The islanders player could have let up a little, but didn’t.

@@southmoreconlin3757 thats not an illegal head shot, hitting his head don't mean it is either and it will be proven by the fzct that nothing happens tomorrow from player safety. As for hit behind well he had a chance to turn for a should hit but instead turns his back the other way. Right after the back hand pass he could of went with the pass and would of shoulder up with romonov but didn't. That's on him, if your to stupid to see it that on u big guy. Why u think there no hoopla or outrage about it anywhere online... You just be one of them sensitive lil bitch or just one of them types of homer sens fan always blinded, all the time. Making it more then anyone feels it needs to be. Pinto will learn to prepare next time...

Yea but you still aren’t allowed to take exception for a player in a vulnerable position and hit them from behind and finish with their shoulder to the head of the opposing player. Yea pinto shouldn’t have done that, but it is still the islanders players fault for the check.

no........

You're also not supposed to be hitting a player along the boards with their back turned. And the rulebook says it's your responsibility to not hit someone along the boards with their back turned. Besides, what are you supposed to do with a puck along the boards?

Bruh, you move the puck up, and you skate , if you get hit you’re way less susceptible . If You go straight into a corner and keep your back turned and Youre impacting-the play I’m going to get a body on you from whatever angle I’m coming from and get the puck , don’t put yourself in vulnerable situations. There are situations you can’t avoid because of chance but there are situations like this where you put yourself at risk .

If you’re a 2000 or younger they teach you that in peewee. If you’re younger or American, probably not

Got the entire squad laughing

nothing ever does

yes, however if you do, you should expect that you won't be hit from behind.

@@tchevrier you *should* expect it, and therefore not turn your back to the incoming defenseman

@@yooowhatupribs That's stupid logic. You SHOULD expect that someone isn't going to swing their stick and take your head off, You SHOULD expect that someone isn't going to sucker punch you. And similarly you SHOULD also expect that someone isn't going to hit you into the boards from behind. It's a contact sport but that doesn't mean that it should be a violent sport.

@@tchevrier you SHOULD expect it if you see the guy line you up and your response is to turn your back to the play

@@yooowhatupribs First, that's a completely different situation. Second, no, you SHOULD still not expect to be hit from behind unless you turned at the last second leaving the other guy no opportunity to avoid the hit. It is always the checking player's responsibility to avoid hitting someone from behind.

how?

@@vergy when the officials miss a clear boarding call, that leads to a retaliatory penalty. Call the first infraction, and the second never happens. That's terrible game management.

Hahaha 😐

nah, but it did look like a hop for sure. As long as ANY part of the skate is on the ice it's not considered leaving your feet. Kronwall one of the dirtiest hitters exploited that well.

No he didn’t, that’s a stride. For there to be boarding there needs to be dangerous impact with the boards, there is no impact because there is no separation from the boards. He hit his face against the glass because he turned on a clean hit that primary contact was shoulder.

That is NOT leaving your feet. Ur dumb

They hugged it wasn’t even a fight should have been a double roughing or just a normal rouging lol

@@ryanmethven3682 Well it was a punch and Watson went down.

@@wantutosigh1117 Watsons career numbers in fights in the NHL 0 for career fights versus his wife 1-0

No there is no separation from the board for there to be a dangerous impact. That’s the rule.

@@knightfall7534 ok thank you for that clarification.

From USA Hockey Rulebook: "(Note) Boarding is the action where a player pushes, trips or body checks an opponent causing them to go dangerously into the boards. This includes: Accelerating through the check to a player who is in a vulnerable or defenseless position and driving an opponent excessively into the boards with no focus on or intent to play the puck, or any check delivered for the purpose of punishment or intimidation that causes the opponent to go unnecessarily and excessively into the boards. The onus is on the player delivering the check to avoid placing a vulnerable or defenseless opponent in danger." Going through the checklist, Romanov caused Pinto to go dangerously into the boards, evidenced by Pinto having to go to the locker room. Pinto had his back to Romanov the entire time, and was positioned along the boards, making him vulnerable. At the time of the hit, Pinto had already played the puck, and you can see Romanov swing at the puck before making the hit in the video. Thus Romanov was not making any attempt to play the puck by hitting Pinto. By that ruling and these criteria, Romanov's hit was boarding. TLDR, this was a missed boarding call.

Homer? If that’s a dirty check? Then just take checking out of the game all together! That type of check happens about 4-5 times a every game, throughout the entire league, every night! Your the “Homer”

No boarding.

Dude wtf that was a fine hit. Incompetence would be blowing the whistle. That’s just physical hockey and if don’t like to watch curling

Boarding? Where?

@@kenevinparent2314 Romanov sees his numbers for about three strides and still drives him into the boards. It's a textbook boarding call, resulting in injury no less.

@@brianshaughnessy4020 ​ @Brian Shaughnessy Romanov doesn't take a SINGLE stride. He was gliding into the hit whcih was SHOULDER to SHOULDER. Romanov saw Pintos numbers because PINTO turned last second, which is NOT how you protect yourself from a hit. You've clearly never even played the game, but if that was just that, I wouldn't care. You're outright MAKING things up. 3 strides? His feet WERENT EVEN MOVING.

Bro what are you talking about, he is literally against the boards, for it to be boarding there needs to be separation for them to then contact the boards violently, he is against the boards the whole time. Quit being a homer.

@@knightfall7534 When you learn a little more about hockey and how the rules apply get back to me. Refs missed this and it should be reviewed. He fricken smashed his face off the glass. Like I said I actually blame this on Pinto putting himself in a bad position like that. He had to leave game for concussion protocol. You don’t need to be away for the boards to get boarded. Last time I checked The boards don’t move!

Imagine being this flippant and wrong at the same time. You're clearly new to hockey if you think that's boarding.

@@djrondo1224 yes you do, rule clearly states the hit needs to make the player go into the boards dangerously, implying there must be distance from the player and the boards, pinto was against the glass the whole time.

@@knightfall7534 So slamming a guys head/face into the boards isn’t boarding 🤷‍♂️

he didn't turn he was facing the boards the whole time lol

He hit him in the head it should have been a boarding call.

@@CaseyWWelch Lol no he didn’t. Go watch curling

@Max Medverd get your eyes checked keyboard worrier!

Lol, the Dude 2 comments ⬆️ “D S” thinks lol it wasn’t a clean hit? Lol lol Sometimes? You just can’t make this shit up!

Romanov should have had a double penalty, one for boarding and one for charging

He can only beat up his wife.

Lmfao yeah ok, the league is out to let the islanders, of all teams, get away with everything. Suuuuuuuure.

@@no-budhee6657 don't mind this Hasty Generalization. The Isles almost never play highlight-reel hockey so people tend to over-inflate the "gotcha" clips like this as a major part of the Islanders relatively warm success.

Stupid take, main contact was shoulder and there was no separation from boards, textbook clean hit. He just needs to brace himself better than smushing his face against the glass

Conspiracy theories are for idiots. LGI

@@knightfall7534 Excerpt from USA Hockey Rulebook: "(Note) Boarding is the action where a player pushes, trips or body checks an opponent causing them to go dangerously into the boards.

The onus is on the player delivering the check to avoid placing a vulnerable or defenseless opponent in danger." Notice at no point does it say distance from the boards. Romanov's hit was on a vulnerable player with his back turned. Pinto had already played the puck away, thus Romanov was not playing the puck by hitting Pinto. The hit was dangerous as it caused Pinto to go the the locker room. It ticks all the marks for boarding by this rule.

Hope that is sarcastic

@@southmoreconlin3757 sure is

I don’t like either of them, but Romanov didn’t even have the puck. Watson purposely came off the bench to get back at Romanov for the hit on Pinto, and decided the best way to do so is cross-check him from behind, which obviously you can’t do. 😂

@@Pointer21 I mean Romanov got rid of the puck like 2 -3 seconds before Watson hit him, but yeah, it was a bit late.

@@Hyperi0nn it wasn't late...go back and count it's not anymore then a single second

@@jessebremner5209 2 seconds aka LATE

@@jonah.donohue wow you count quick seconds hey..it's a second or less which is fine

Maybe you should watch MMA instead.

He may have been distracted by the animated ads on the boards 😂

@@timehrler2686 Maybe you should actually play hockey

@@timehrler2686 If you think that was a bad hit or violent you need to go watch curling. The weakness seeping into hockey is an epidemic

@@Max_m don't put fucking words in my mouth asshole.

yeah, refs were againt sens all game

its the head hits man, i think we can all agree we'd rather see everyone playing and not out bc of hits to the head right?

@@trundlethegreat6285 Was it a head hit? I’m watching this on my phone the screen is not that big I thought it was just shoulder on shoulder maybe the force of that caused him to hit his head on the boards?

calm down tough guy. This wasn't a borderline hit. This was a textbook hitting from behind hit. Those types of hits are extremely dangerous. Concussions, paralysis. I was officiating minor hockey in Alberta in the 80's when the rule regarding hits from behind came about. (yes the rule has been around for almost 40 years). It was because a couple of kids suffered broken necks.

@@tchevrier wait was it a hit from behind? it looks like he got them in the shoulder not the numbers

@@tchevrier It was a hit from the side. So ypur "textbook" quote is nonsense. Like said, borderline hit. You got people screaming suspension. Refs certainly didn't see it textbook hit from behind.

Dude, he hit him from behind and finished his check to the head, that was a dirty hit. He will probably get fined for that hit.

@@southmoreconlin3757 main pint of contact is shoulder and there was no separation from the board for there to be dangerous impact. It’s clean.

they did..... Watson crosschecked Romamov......and he turned his back on the hit..... his fault

@@ceedub619cameraman3 Then he got ragged dolled by Johnston

@@ceedub619cameraman3 ... ?.... weak hit...... and it wasnt even clean..........

?

Leaving his feet seems like an exaggeration. He twists his body

@@lemurking6896 it looks like he did not much but he looked like he was off them

Why is the dude up against the boards, standing there like a wet noodle? This is the NHL.

@@no-budhee6657 why is Romanov running him lol and jumping not clean you can't jump

Why is someone hitting someone in the NHL? I guess when you’re an Ottawa fan you forget what hockey looks like.

Main point of contact was shoulder and pinto had no separation from him and the board, the only reason it looked bad is because he faced the boards. Trash take

@KNIGHT FALL he elbowed him in the head. Your take is trash, homer. I don't have a dog in this Fite. But you have questionable judgment. Let's say biased 😉

@@CaseyWWelch I don’t cheer for the isles and could care less about either team. This is an unbiased opinion.

@KNIGHT FALL then you need help. That shit was blatantly obvious what he did.

@@CaseyWWelch you’re bugging out of control my guy, it’s not that deep, the same play gets made 10x a game and no one bats an eye.
