@_billsoutlet @CedrikSeguin @HFTVSports In Canada, it's called an assault. In USA, it is a simple battery. So you're right, technically this is not an assault in USA. And he's right by claiming he's a victim of a crime. Because he does not know the correct legislation does not make him wrong.

@Colton_Bruning @grantmccagg Just want to let you know @grantmccagg is not an ordinary fan... he used to be a scout for the Habs and is now doing an amazing job on all prospects you should follow him

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@RepDickSwett @HFTVSports And I've played enough to know that its the momentum of the rotation that cause the fall

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@RepDickSwett @HFTVSports But you know what let's agree that we don't agree... but no one believe within the Sharks players or coaching staff believe it was a dirty hit... and those are NHL pros...that kinda know the game

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@RepDickSwett @HFTVSports also the poke check occur right before, losing momentarily the possession... then the "elbow" is in fact the arm wrapping around the shoulder... this is not a direct point of contact to the the head,Matheson stick get caught in the rotation but does not cause a tripping

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@RepDickSwett @HFTVSports I'll tell you what I can't argue... i can't argue with someone who pause the frame and interpret that frame... the elbow doesn't make contact to the head at all.... but the ice did... in worst case scenario if you stretch the rulebook it's a holding

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@RepDickSwett @HFTVSports This is not a elbow to head nor a trip... this is a poke check, Chernychov was following thru into the defender who absorbed the contact... his arm wrapped around the shoulder and unbalanced the forward who badly fell on the ice, this is a fast dynamic play, no penalty

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@allieberube Read plenty of American loving this. So I will go with your logic: blades are not dangerous only the person that use it. There should be more blades to be able to defend yourself. And if something bad happens let's just send thought and prayers to the parents.

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@FriedgeHNIC Players should start suing the NHL when they don't enforce their own rules. Maybe things will start to move. The NHL Player Safety D is a farce. Clearly a player in vulnerable position, clearly lift the elbow to the head.

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@IslesCave @_JordanDecker Funny to see Isles fan evaluating a player's game on 1 clip of an empty net goal, have you watch the full game? Let me have my doubts on that!

@RDSca dites à François Gagnon que Rick Tocchet à déjà coaché Dvorak pendant 4 ans

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@MarcPDumont Went outside for 10 min and it was done lol

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@spittinchiclets if the NHL is consistent they should impose the same sanctions than Alexeyev on Gallagher https://t.co/QVihDCl9Km or Dowd on Caufield https://t.co/RMr15Rffbv ... oh wait there wasn't even a penalty on those play!!! NHL Consistency #Habs

#Habs defense advanced stats

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@Sportsnet Anyone that says that he doesn't defend well are:
1st wrong,
2nd seems to forget he's a rookie,
3rd take too much attention to the +/- stats.
He's simply a phenom, look at a Montreal game and you'll understand how dominant he is.

@colek2003 @BR_OpenIce Ok ... can't even have a discussion ... I did not call you name ... but as soon you don't have more arguments you call me stupid ... it tells everything about you

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@colek2003 @BR_OpenIce And you'll tell me ...well they should continue to play there's still time on the board ... it's funny all the Florida players stop playing as well ...

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@colek2003 @BR_OpenIce I'm gonna go even further, have you enven wear hockey equipment ... if so you definetly knows there's almost no protection in the back so if you take a slap shot in the back of a player that stop playing with 2 seconds left ... it's an injury attempt

[Mathieu CHagnon @Mat_CH]

@colek2003 @BR_OpenIce So that's your only argument ... I've explained why it's a dangerous play that any player in the NHL seems to understand ... so your telling me a player sould do a major hit on a player facing the board, that has stop playing with 2 seconds left in the same condition
