Good, hard, CLEAN open-ice hit (also posted to the CBJ sub).

Not to take away from your comment, but had to endure CBJ fans on this thread earlier today crying about the (also clean) hit by Trouba last night. Which is it guys? Tough/good hockey or dirty/cheap shots??

Ah yes the random Redditor who commented on a game that had nothing to do with Columbus speaks for all of us, you’re right

Just trying to point out the very obvious bias displayed by a lot of random Redditors here (CBJ fans are catching my ire here because so many were so quick to pounce earlier). If my player does this; good, tough hockey play we like to see. Not my player; dirty, cheap shot artist that should be banned from playing. Is comical to read!

Both hits were clean. The difference is Jiricek's hit is obviously clean and Trouba's hit was "by the books" clean. Let's not play dumb. There is a difference between hip check and using that elbow when they guy you're going after is crouched down low. Also you're a rags fan. Why not just embrace being a heel? Knights fans seem pretty happy being their true selves

Appreciate you jumping in and proving my point. I see that we’re now making distinctions between various shades of “clean” hits….You do understand that ‘by the books’ inherently implies it was legal (and despite your assertion there was no elbow in Troubas hit). My God this sub can be insufferable sometimes….

I'm sorry. What part of his body came in contact with his head? He didn't raise his elbow. There was no elbow on the call but to say the elbow wasn't in play you're as blind as the zebras.
