    Funny how silent you were on that one. Guess stuff only matters when it's Boston whining.
    I didn't see the check on Hamhuis.

    There are precisely zero videos for "hambuis crosscheck" or "hamhuis cross check" on YouTube, so clearly I'm not the only one not calling for a suspension.

    Hamhuis got injured while giving a hipcheck to Lucic...


    You want Lucic suspended for receiving a hipcheck? Did I get that right?

    Hell, Hamhuis could've been suspended for that.

    • It's the Goon Theory of addition by subtraction. Have an interchangeable role player take out a skilled first-liner.
      Clearly works out in Vancouver's favor, suspension or no.

      Nice to know that Canucks fans are already prepared to blame Bettman and an evil conspiracy should they not win the Cup.

      • It says a lot that Ben thinks Lucic crosschecked Hamhuis, causing his injury, in that video.

        • Burrows didn't get suspended for biting a finger and drawing blood, and you have no comment.
          Shove your finger in the mouth expect to be bitten.

            Blindside a player over a second after he touched the puck causing a severe concussion, expect to be suspended.

            I see you are backing off over your Hamhuis crosschecking *****ing. God, you are sad.

            • I didn't see the check on Hamhuis.
              I did. It was late, after the play and drew a penalty. Since injuries are what matters here we should expect a suspension.

              So you only know what youtube shows you? Some hockey fan! At least I've been watching the games...

                Do you think that it's fair that more than half of the total suspension time in the entire history of the stanley cup finals have been served by Rome?

                I think that's ridiculous. I know that had this happened to Chicago, you'd be the first to complain.

                  You are a ****ing liar.

                  The video I embedded shows the "crosscheck" you are complaining about. After Hamhuis goes hard into the boards awkwardly while low-bridging Lucic, Krejci pins him with his stick like you see in every game while Hamhuis was already on the ice. Without even a lot of force.

                  Doing more googling, I see even Vancouver fans (like G&M's James Mirtle, who grew up a Canucks fan) with comments like: https://twitter.com/#!/mirtle/status/76098469508546561
                  Krejci's crosscheck had the equivalent pressure of a mouse siting down.


                  You're a ****ing liar, Ben.

                    .8 seconds by the clip.

                      Yeah, but it caused and injury so shouldn't we see Krejci suspended for the rest of the playoffs?

                      • Actually, if you look closely, Krejci doesn't even seem to touch him with the stick.

                        That's a pretty bull**** call. It certainly isn't suspension worthy!

                          How the **** would you imagine that caused his injury that prevents him from skating?

                          He low-bridged Lucic and went awkwardly into the boards. He's also just coming off other injuries so he probably wasn't 100% to begin with. You can tell as he's sliding on his knees that he ****ed something up, before Krejci even got to him.

                          Sad, Ben. ****ing sad.

                          • You can watch the "crosscheck" in 1080p here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhdbNDvTgrg

                            Only an idiot would think he wasn't injured before Krejci tapped him.

                            • This clip is in 720p, from the NBC feed which showed the hit from many different angles zoomed in. The injury is clearly from the hipcheck. It's also clear the Canucks got lucky, because that was certainly not a crosschecking penalty.

                                So why does this excuse explain the crosscheck after the play and his injury. Couldn't I also say the same about Horton, that he was injured becuase he wasn't 100 percent either?

                                Suspend Krejci for the rest of the SCF and I'll call it fair.
