Finally found it!!

Filthy hit.

Thanks Sean. Wanted to see it again after the interview. Fuck Malkin!

just skates right past Malkin like he doesn’t care.

The NHL really needs a new disciplinarian. How a hit like this (or the ones Richards and Cooke gave) goes unpunished is beyond me. Dirty hit by Malkin

Mitchell called out Colin Campbell big time today. We’ll see how CC responds.

Well, we will refer to Colie’s handy dandy suspension chart (thanks DGB)

He will then exclaim some form of righteous indignation for Willie daring to question the sanctity of the league and its decision making process. (After all, he is basically a mindless vegetable now.) He will then fine Willie and the Canucks $100K for making the league look bad.

and here’s an interesting coincidence: this hit happened within that same week that burrows called out auger….

since they posted it, a bunch of media types have commented about how dirty the hit was… it pisses me off because they dismissed us when we tried to tell them about this when it happened.

Man, I had forgotten how egregious that hit was.

@Kent_Wilson Geno for Iggy? /HFboards’d

dear god… please. I will stop being so damn evil all the time if you make this happen. 6 chances to pound that scum to dust (in a non-Bertuzzi-ish manner)? That would be soooo good…

Ugh….That is painful to watch (not just because of the hit). What could have been…F U Malkin

just saw Darren Dreger tweet Mason Raymond has been added to Team Canada’s lineup at the World Championships

I’ve always hated Malkin and thought he was a dirty player for things like this, slew foots, and a kicking incident (Lecavalier was on the receiving end, 2006 Olympics. Assuming I’m remembering correctly of course)

I’m a fan of both teams. Malkin’s still my favourite player. One hit won’t change that, not his fault he didn’t get suspended after all. I’m not condoning what he did but I don’t dislike him because of it, plenty of this stuff goes on all the time

Flame me if you like though

We’ll see how CC responds

I’LL TELL YOU HOW IM GONNA RESPOND. IM GONNA START KICKING ASS AND TAKING NAMES, STARTING WITH THE ENTIRE DISCIPLINARIAN TEAM OF THE NHL.

NM-ERS! TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!

I went back into my recorded archives and found my copy of the full game and watched that hit again…what really caught my attention was AV looking at him sitting on the bench…very concerned. Clearly, Willie didn’t know where he was…scary.

I had forgotten how blatant and inexcusable that hit was.

Watching this a few months later, I think one of the things that bothers me the most is how quickly the linesmen were to jump between Malkin and any Canuck that was trying to confront him (not named Demitra). If he actually had to take some kind of accountability for any of his dirty plays, he might think twice before he dropped that next slewfoot/board/whatever.

I understand he’s a star… but there’s NO deterrent whatsoever.

Do we know if Geno called Mitchell since that hit?

saying this morning that Mitchell will likely be fined for his comments. NHLPA better step up and call bs on this.

The NHL looks like a bunch of sleazy cops covering for each-other (actually, some of the referees ARE sleazy ex-cops).
The referee on the game didn’t call a penalty on the Malkin hit. So, what does Campbell do? He chooses no suspension, so that the referee who didn’t call a penalty doesn’t look bad. A suspension would be an admission that the referee made a mistake.
The number one rule, when it comes to cops, is to cover each-other’s back. Justice is way down the list of priorities. Almost irrelevant.

Mitchell’s suggestion that there should be an independent panel deciding on suspensions, terrifies these sleazy fatheads, because that would mean that fairness would come first – an entirely novel concept to the NHL.

Sometimes I cannot fucking believe the NHL. He calls them out on their shit and they fine him. Fucking bollocks.

anyone remember the crosby hit 10 seconds into game 7? post game he was like “yeah i dunno how that was a penalty 10 seconds into the game in game 7… i was shocked” wtf?
