You are going back a month to find three losses

wake up from what? The .750 hockey they have been playing for the last 3 months?

There have been other losses in between those. Just not bad efforts.

Big difference between shifting your weight to brace for the check and elbowing a guy in the mush.

Tkachuk does it regularly. Remember Doughty?

It's not hockey.

Yes, he elbowed Doughty - which has nothing to do with a reverse hit

No elbow here, just as reverse hit

They're two different things

I just watched the replay again. Elbow right to the mush.

[bubbsy]

Not overly concerned. I would definitely like to see sutter start rewarding ice time based on merit for the fourth line. I see no real concern in giving Ritchie and carpenter the monahan/lucic slots at some point here.

[SeanCharles]

I didn’t mind Monahan. He made some nice passes and was being physical out there.

I think he is the last one on the 4th line that should come out unless we are looking for an all bruiser line.

Nope - he bent down and put his face into the hit, no elbowing motion

[Ironhorse]

Johnny scores on that penalty shot, it would have likely turned the game.

I know but we have been spoiled...and really there haven't been many. Aren't they 15-2-2 at home in the last few months.

Elbow right to the jaw, if you can't see that, I don't know what to say.

I guess you don't know what to say because his elbow is below the chin and he doesn't swing his arm at all. First contact is with the back of the arm not the elbow.

[Enoch Root]

Face in the shoulder

Back it up a frame. First contact is below the number on the sleeve. That's not shoulder, that's elbow.

But hey, you do you.

[Ducay]

I can see it both ways, but arguing "he put his own face into it"? Cmon

Whats next? Arguing a fight isn't a roughing major because the player kept yelling "quit punching yourself, quit punching yourself"

[Coach]

Yeah I was surprised the Tkachuk hit wasn’t called. Looked like a pretty clear elbow. Doesn’t really matter if you meant up or not.
