The dumb thing is, nothing is happening to the idiots who are going knee on knee. So you essential force teammates to defend their guys with violence however that comes. So what Larkin learned from from the crap he's taken over the last few years is that nothing happens and you have to deal with it your own way. The department of players "safety" is a joke for allowing this crap to go on in fecking preseason games and regular season games. Love Larkin as our Captain and would love Xhekaj on our blue line.
Knee on knees can be career ending. Larkin is team Captain and you expect them to lead and step up. Maybe, it would’ve been better for a cleaner hit or Larkin to light up the lamp or even drop the gloves. This seems to be happening a lot this preseason. On purpose or by accident who knows. Maybe the guys just haven’t prepared this year and their skating isn’t to form yet. A lot of the younger prospects are very eager to work their way up in the organization. The emotions are maybe getting to these guys and they’re not thinking clearly.
One thing people need to consider is how many times Larkin has missed time from dirty hits, and mostly with the offending player getting little to know punishment. Was it a little over board yes. But if you go knee on knee there's going to be consequences. If you want someone to blame, blame the department of player safety. If they actually suspended players for a meaningful amount of games players wouldn't be as likely to take matters in their own hands. But time and time again we see dirty hits that take out players for at least a year and guys getting something like 5 games. Unless a star gets hurt that is.
If i was a player i would not fight the guy that delivers a dirty hit as you get penalized more than the he does... but cheap shots i would deliver the motherload of them on the opposite team as those seem to be legal nowadays...
Refs not calling a kneeing penalty and having the players deal with consequences is the same problem as the Bertuzzi incident. Arber in his fit of rage was smart enough to take of his right glove otherwise Pare would be eating purée for the next 6 months Pars should have definitely got 2 minutes fir kneeing if not 5 minutes and the game. If Pare didn’t like the attention Arber was paying him, I’m sure he’ll love Florian in AHL games this year, if he’s even good enough for AHL Pare belongs in ECHL…
That was almost exactly like the Bertuzzi incident. Xhekaj just didnt land as square but it was the same jersey pull leveraged punch. I'll never understand the players that act all oblivious and dont defend themselves. As if you can just ignore Xhekaj away. I get that Pare's in a tough spot but hes gotta handle his business better.
Xhekaj got what he deserved penalty wise... Pare not so much, had he been penalized that fight would of never happened. i blame the ref's for missing the call
Bad take on this one, neither is worse than the other. Both went out with intent to hit. Both landed the hit. How is getting overpowered and punched in the back of the head multiple times while being held up so the refs couldn't help, better than a deflected cross check to the head due to the player leaning over? We all now Montreal is your favorite team so the bias is expected.
I've learned larks has short fuse , he was mad about knee on knee and was sticking up for razor like Perrone did for larks after the neck punch last year....
You say hockey fans, but you should know what the true fans thought that were their. They loved it, larkin is the guy that will go after anyone that messes with any of his players. If you're gonna be roughing up players, then that's how it'll be for you to.
Sorry legorocks99, but this is a video that should never have been made. Knee on knee hits should always be punished (regardless of severity). And if the refs/league won't do it, then the players have to. Good on Larkin for doing what a leader should do. And considering the amount of dirty hits he's taken over the last few years, with the league doing nothing to the offender, it's time he takes matters into his own hands (just like every player should start doing, since it's the only way to get the point across).
Trust me, if he didn't get suspended and played Game 2, Perry and Pezzetta would've gone for him. That hit could've ended Evans' career (thankfully it didn't). That hit was also at the end of the game. Credit to Nik Ehlers for keeping the crowd away from trampling Evans while he was down and everyone wanted a piece of Scheifele.
It was incredibly frustrating that you wouldn’t just play the videos out in full at least once. You also made a video where you primarily recite the RUclips comments of others, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Also, what the hell is your sign off line? It sounds like utter gibberish.
So basically reddit people would have been fine with Dylan Larkin laying that hit if the knee on knee against Raymond was a worse outcome. That's internet logic right there. The same logic applies from that comment "some AHL plug comes up here and tries to ruin a star player". Yeah, that's exactly what Spellacy almost did to Raymond, a star player. I hate the internet.
Imo Laine was dipsy doodling at full speed shimmy left then right deeking like he's Mick Jagger and avoids the body xheck.. Problem is by doing that his leg was left behind. Nuf said.
Hockey isn't a soft sport. WAY too many classless, mid-tier talent, weasels get on the ice and do these types of things - you cannot just let someone who obliterated your teammates knee, quite purposefully, go on like nothing happened EVEN if it was an accident. At the end of the day, accident or not, it's a dirty play - expect retribution. I think these AHL types who get on the ice for preseason need to be reviewed and fined from NHL Player Safety like big boys do. It hurts their wallet way more, and they should be liberally suspended games into the season once placed on active roster for NHL games to inhibit this stuff from happening more.
Lego, I think this is a time you're on the wrong side. There always has been and always will be a game within the game. Knee on knee is far more likely to end a career than a single high hit or fight. Can those do it too? Sure, but when thw NHL and refs allow this stuff to get out of hand( especially with fringe players who most likely wont be NHL regs) players have to police things themselves. I usually like your take and your content but you sound like someone who never laced up mate.
Just cause your out to hurt someone dosn't mean that person is angry or out of control. There are times when going after some one is the smart, calculated, and propper move. "F with us and you can get delt with" ~~~~JW c.1999
i think one of the reasons fans arent criticizing the xhekaj vengeance as much as the larking vengeance is because of the nhl's reaction. larkin got nothing, xhekaj got game misconduct and a fine, plus they gave toronto a 7 minute major powerplay (meaning even if they scored 5 times, theyre still on the powerplay for 7 minutes) so habs fans for the most part are like ''hey look he got punished by the league i dont think we need to harp on it further''
to be fair to larkin he doesn’t care who did it it wouldn’t be an issue if it was a 28yr or something he hit raymond knee on knee so larkin was defending his teamate
Personally, as a Habs fan, I think of what Xhekaj did is more dangerous that what Larkin did, and I belive that's why he received a fine. But all of that start that if the refs maked the right call on Paré with his intentional knee on knee on Laine, all of that will never gonna happen of what we saw yesterday.
I dont agree with your statement. If someone knees one of your best players...especially in the pre-season...it really doesnt matter wether the ref calls a penalty or not....he has to pay!
@@jelugo77 I totally agree of how the Habs responded to that (especially Xhekaj, Anderson and Savard). If the refs maked the right call, Paré will gonna be out of the game for a 5 min major.
To say Xhekaj was similar to Bertuzzi is just asinine. Bert blind side sucker punched. Xhekaj made sure the guy knew exactly what was coming and gave him multiple opportunities to defend himself! He has been fined the max and that's pretty much what was called for. Larkin was not at fault at all. The guy was skating with his head at knee level so oh well!
Xhekaj just attacking another player without letting the other player get ready & square up. Just like what he did to Ryan Reaves. I’m pretty sure Parre would’ve dropped the gloves, if he’d known what was coming, imo.
Ryan Reaves cried to Leafs media because Reaves like to make a fight a spectacle, he wants to bring it to centre ice and dance around for 30 seconds before anything happens. He will have lots of time to complain from Robidas island at the end of this year
LMAO🤣 I remember when Dylan was in 6th grade and he used to cross check those poor 1st graders. They didn't even see it comin!😂 Keep your head up losers😎 How many times do we have to say it?
I see the difference as where xhekaj gave pare a "fair" "equal" chance to drop the gloves and defend himself where he should have but shat on the nhl code where veterans are probably puking at that rn but it's a soft gen now. Where Larkin waited till the kid didn't expect it and tried to hurt him out of anger
i think its way worse, Larkin should not of run the guy, challenge him like a man, Arber left on his gloves at least while that coward ahl'er ducks when someone comes after him, he lucky Arber held back
If penalties are not called, someone needs to step in. Either/or standing up for your guy is what has to be done or guys will think they can get away with doing that stuff. LGRW 🏒

We should conclude that a knee on knee is allowed or tolerated in the NHL.
A hockey stick to the face is always punishable. A knee on knee? Not really

No, he would have been pounded regardless.
Go it’s time the red wings start playing a little more dirty
Who remember Kovalev, while carrying the puck, punched Tucker in the face.
I remember. Well-done, Kovalev.
He elbowed him in the face, brilliant play
Proud someone stood up.
I'm tried of the wings catching trash for standing up for themselves. LETS GO RED WINGS

Not so much a short fuse, he just doesn't tolerate cheap shots anymore.
Couturier literally did the same thing last night after someone stuck out a knee on mitchkov, the difference is the other guy didn't turtle up
Nobody stuck out a knee on Michkov
