Title: You make the call...
Post by: walkintall on September 18, 2017, 09:22:12 AM
Is this a clean hit or, does this fit the definition of targeting? Would you call it?

*Disclaimer. I was at this game. This is not to prove an official right or wrong. This is about fans discussing on facebook whether this is actually a penalty or not. During the game, targeting never entered my mind.

Without the help of another angle, and just going off this video, I'd say no doubt about it, targeting.

I don't need another angle.  He dropped his head and lead, and made contact, with the crown of his helmet.

Exactly what the rules committee is trying to eliminate.  Like it or not, coaches simply have to start teaching their players to stop doing this.
