Not really because it was 5-0 and the game was over is why I said why on earth would he do that. There's absolutely no need to dig at a goalie up a 5 spot.Nik said:

I've personally always felt a guy should play his hardest right up until the final whistle and I think it's pretty clear that's what Zegras was doing. Then we get back to whether or not you think Zegras was wrong for diging for the puck because it was 5-0 or you think it's wrong to dig for the puck full-stop.
Regardless, all of this would, theoretically justify beating the hell out of Zegras if what he did was seriously a major infraction. Terry, who just came in to protect Zegras did nothing worthy of Beagle dropping the gloves before Terry did and beating the hell out of him.

Beagle went over the line by pounding him..he should have stopped. I'm more ticked at the linesman for not stepping in.Nik said:
As for digging at goalie it happens all the time and even though I don't like it because I was a goalie but if it's loose it's loose. I think it was a dumb move by Zegras doing it being up 5-0. Again the game is over and like I said digging at a goalie doesn't go well when the game is close but near the end of a blowout, you're asking for trouble.There's a reason teams don't play their PP1 when up like that.
I also don't agree with playing as hard to the final horn when you have a big lead. Play good D and kill the clock.

No, I think the majority of the blame still falls on Beagle there.
Guilt Trip said:
The question isn't really what you think should or shouldn't happen or what you think proper decorum is. It's to what extent it justifies violence. Like, I'm sorry if Beagle's feelings are hurt because the other team is still playing hockey but in most sports the standard isn't "I don't like being shown up, so I'm allowed to punch the other guy".
The whole point of objecting to what the commentators said about Zegras is that a lot of people think that these unwritten "rules" about how teams should or shouldn't try at certain points of the game is that it makes the game less fun and less enjoyable for the paying customers if someone like Zegras is discouraged from scoring impressive goals when he can because he should primarily care about the fragile egos of the Coyotes players and not, you know, playing entertaining hockey. What he does is only "asking for trouble" because of the morons like Beagle in the game.

Right, because fans would rather watch some goon punch it up instead of watching some creativity and personality.

The NHL kind of reminds me a bit of Britain under its current government. "We need to leave the EU because we are GREAT Britain and everything will just be fine like when we had an empire."
Stuck in some kind of sepia tinged "good old days" of the past that even by the standards of the day was a bit blurred but by modern standards is positively Neolithic. Being kept there by a bunch of old people who are so out of touch with actual reality, people unwilling to accept they're dinosaurs and who probably profit from things not changing.
But times and people change. Standards of behaviour change. And eventually, like Britain, the NHL will get shunned and left behind by those who are more enlightened and progressive.

Good on Subban here standing up for Hughes. Not a good hit.

smdh..
the league has to do something about Brad Marchand. That <censored> goon levelled a Blue Jacket tonight with a hit to the head. That went uncalled of course.
Guy is a multiple repeat offender. The league needs to clean up this sort of <censored> (that's how mad I am)

It still surprises me no one has knocked all his teeth out yet. He?s a good player when he focuses on hockey. He?s just so easily thrown off his game and into the stupidity.
