I agree with you but there is no reason to make that hit other than to injure. That's one case where you'd like to see the guy have to answer for it. I'm a big supporter of not having to answer for clean hits but that wasn't clean, it was predatory like most of his hits are.

I will agree it was predatory. That is Kronwall's MO. The only way to put a stop to it is to start running Zetterberg and Datsyuk. As I said, the only way Kronwall avoids head contact there is to avoid the hit altogether.

The refs are losing control of this game.

Clean hit, Voracek was too busy admiring how pretty the puck looked on his stick. It was his own fault.

It was clean in that it wasn't an elbow or a charge. But it was a clear head shot. Principal point of contact was the head, and he had plenty of time to avoid it. He didn't. That's the issue, imo.

This is the bottom line.

Jake had his head down. Ok- sure. He did.

HOWEVER

Kronwall comes in blatantly to injure, but more importantly, hit him SO HARD IN THE HEAD that HIS HELMET POPPED HALF OFF.


TALBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a dirty hit, and an unnecessary one on a defenseless player. Exactly what the NHL is trying to eliminate.

I remember a lot of Pens fans saying they wouldn't miss Talbot when we signed him. I wonder if they still feel the same?
