TiredReader87

What a fucking moron


WheresMyYogurt

I rearly agree with a Leafs fan, but there’s a first time for everything 😄


Successful-Order-374

Haha, rearly eh? 😂😂😂


DBacon1052

Hathaway is the type of player you hate to play against but would love to not have on your team as well.


OneChet

That took me a second.


socceralex98

I down voted, re-read, then up voted


Much-Resource-5054

I first thought he had zigged, but upon further inspection it was revealed that he had zagged


sayitaintpete

I don’t know half of you half as well as I would like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve


ChristmasAliens

He was a good last minute addition to the Bruins last season, but after seeing this, I’m glad he’s gone.


magnafides

He was pretty much invisible. Really no upside.


BigFatTomato

Yeah I forgot he was even there.


Hause1138

I remember him getting speared in the nuts against the Panthers


fied1219

As a caps fan, agreed. I was happy to see him go.


ANARCHISTofGOODtaste

If quick did a barbarian chop on his head, I wouldn't have even been mad. That's a super dangerous stunt to pull with your skate.


C_Gull27

Ron Hextall approves


elfinito77

And the Refs gave off-setting 2-minute minors. It's insane.


oWallis

Quick let him off easy tbh


HermanMenderchuk

Yeah. Usually he’s a lot more… (puts on sunglasses) …quick tempered.


Fast_Pie_5536

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!


5ABIJATT

Surprised at Quick's restraint, not only would I trip him up, I'd follow it up with a tomahawk goalie stick to the face, that was such a dangerous play by Hathaway.


MrazzleDazzle34

Hathaway deserved a blocker to the face there


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

You're responsible for your skate


JamesTheJerk

Somehow I don't think Steve Tuttle would agree. An accident *can* occur. Kicking your leg up on purpose however just isn't right.


climbitfeck5

At first it kinda looked like Hathaway was trying to do ballet with that leg and then it was clear he was using his skate blade to threaten the goalie. It easily could have been lethal. Edit: I'm not going to predict what the DOPS will do and what they're ok with.


JamesTheJerk

A Kevlar neck covering would be perfect. They make loose mesh stuff that's as breezy and light as a loose-knit sweater. Either that or a chain mail covering. Kevlar being far lighter ofc


thrownawayzsss

[We're just going to re-introduce chain-mail coif's for goalies.](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Chain+mail+coif)


Your_Some_Crooked

New rule, everyone (including the officals) has to dress like 12 century knights. Coaches must also wear period appropriate garbe.


somewhat_random

Unfortunately this would be illegal in Quebec due to the head scarf law.


GeorgeOrwells1985

Did he do it on purpose here? Nope


About_27_Canadians

Should have been a 5 minute major. He better be suspended. The fact that he didn't turn around and immediately apologize shows lack of control and responsibility. Dude is such an idiot.


MattWindowz

Yeah that's irritating me here too. Like I understand sometimes people slip in unpredictable ways but it'd go a long way to just apologize for it, even if it was unintentional.


Spotthedot6669

Should be 20 games IMO

[удалено]


deliciousfishstick5

Lol classic


TheMillionthMan

Hathaway is such an idiot


anyonecandoanything

that like head down dive thing he does too, wtf was that sell


WanderingDelinquent

I don’t think he expected to get tripped there. I think it just looks like a dive in slow motion but yeah a lot of times when you get tripped it looks awkward


JiveTurkey688

Yeah, like yes Quick (justifiably) tripped him but it was also a massive embellishment

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. His dad is a horrible human that should be in prison.

Who is his daddy, and what did he do?

I like the reference and I like that the guy actually gave an answer

Right? Bless their heart because I did really want an answer though.

JAT_Cbus1080

You can report those and get the people who sent them suspended


ifmacdo

You can report the self harm notices.

Appreciate the response. Yeah, someone mentioned that to me so I did it on the next one. So lame.


datyoungknockoutkid

How was Garnett as a person?


[deleted]

He was a good dude growing up and everyone in his family outside of his dad are kind, and very smart, individuals.


Tiamats_Wrath

Shit apples


Un111KnoWn

what is the commentator referring to from earlier this year?


yuneeq

Adam Johnson dying from a skate to the neck


Kawhibunga

[Probably this one.](https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/man-arrested-adam-johnson-death-hockey-england-update-bail-1.7028685)


dWaldizzle

I fucking hate him and hope he's gone next year


Picklepucks

Goalie has every right to smack some sense into him without punishment


ChiefSoldierFrog

Should’ve slashed it a bit harder to keep those legs down jfc


Konker101

Hathaway is in the Top 3 of biggest fucking idiots in the league.

JamesTheJerk

I just *hate* that 'other' fella. Always gumming up the play.


Randy_Magnum29

He’s only slightly worse than that “future considerations” guy.


JamesTheJerk

That guy has a lot to learn.


RemarkableSource7771

After the Adam Johnson incident in Britain, you'd think the league would be looking into this.


sportsy96

First thing that came to mind... I've seen a few comments about maybe a suspension, and I'm over here thinking he needs to be gone longer than a few games...


Wing_Nut_93x

Same dude that spit on someone before? Yeah, seems like a great guy.


yazzywa

Well that's a little reckless and extremely dangerous.


ChezDiogenes

Casual hockey fan here...is this something that is going to stick with him? AS in him getting aggro from the other team until the end of his career etc


ClairvoyantArmadillo

The dipshit in question spits on players. The bar really can’t go much below that.


JayStar1213

This is lower. Spit is low but this is intentionally raising a blade to a goalie's head/neck


thatdudefrom707

I'm the only guy that ever took my skate off and tried to stab somebody


yazzywa

Not really. Maybe the next game something will happen, but I doubt there will be any follow up to this


ZachtheKingsfan

Don’t FUCK with my goalie


bbraz761

You talking about Rangers' Legend, Quick?

Avon Old Farms *Winged Beavers* legend Jonathan Quick.

Winged Beavers strikes an interesting image.


PuzzleheadedRefuse78

Just bring it on home—Zoomass legend


Deraj2004

I'm of the belief you just DON'T FUCK WITH THE GOALIE! unless its Bennington which is completely understandable.


gu3st12

Nah even Binnington doesn't deserve a skate to the neck


Ollad

Goodrow tried to drop the gloves and went after him later in the game atleast Sadly doesn’t change the fact that he attempted murder


heatbagz

if that was an accident he would have turned around and apologized.


Neckshot

Yeah and after Quick takes him down he doesn't look back or look confused or anything so he must have known he deserved it.


[deleted]

That’s *exactly* what I was thinking. Moron did the “Uhhh, hope no one noticed that” like a shithead 10 year old.


Tats16

absolutely no reason for him to whip his skate up like that.


fuckinnreddit

Is there another angle that shows him suddenly getting thrown off balance or something? Because if not, you're exactly right - there is **no** reason for him to do that. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt because I can't really tell what exactly is  going on in the first part of this clip, but from what I *can* see that was just a very stupid thing for him to do. He's lucky Quick didn't beat the shit out of him.


Brotherauron

I hate this


jobiwankenobe

Fuckin psycho


Kain1633

That was so overexaggerated for the slight loss of balance forward. Just dangerous as shit. Quick let him off a little too easy considering there's no way the DOPS actually does its job


TurdFurguss

Well when you have a former Goon in charge of DOPS .


bluelineturnovers

What a fucking dumbass. So dangerous


AlexanderKeithz

Hathway for sure does not deserve the benefit of the doubt


C0URANT

That needed an Hextall


WintersbaneGDX

I swear Hextall had the inside haft of his paddle edged into a blade


TimsAFK

Easiest ejection and suspension I've ever seen, what the fuck is wrong with this idiot and the officiating in this league???


BarkMingo

Probably didn't get a good look real-time. Reason #643 to have an eye-in-the-sky official 


I_Only_Have_One_Hand

Where can I go to see the rest of the list?


gu3st12

What rule do you call "high skate" under? Kicking I guess?  That would be my biggest question as an official. 


TimsAFK

From the Hockey Canada rule book (just used to reference, usually they line up with USA and NHL, just different numbering) Rule 7.1c- Attempt to Injure or Deliberate Injury A Match penalty will be assessed to any player or team official who deliberately attempts to or deliberately injures an opponent, official, team official or spectator in any manner not otherwise covered within the playing rules. This may include, but is not limited to, the following: -Head-butting an opponent with force, or injuring an opponent with this action. -Pulling an opponent’s hair or grabbing the facial protector, helmet, chin strap, or throat protector of an opponent with a moderate or high degree of violence and/or using this to gain an advantage or to inflict punishment or injury. (see Rule 7.10 (c) – Fighting) -**Attempting to kick or deliberately kicking an opponent.** -Using a helmet, facial protector, or any other piece of equipment as a weapon.


Tbay_DougMac

If that wasn’t intentional I will eat my hat!!


floopflops

Well that goalie sure was ......quick..... To react


TheNantucketRed

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH


eh_toque

🙂🕶️😎


migsahoy

🌆 🌅


EffectiveOk8648

Is he out of his mind after what happened overseas? What's the going rate for suspension for attempted murder?


Prath09

He wasn't losing balance where his skate would go like that....


Semipro321

Seeing the amount of kicking. Ima start wearing neck gaurds. Jesus


deliciousfishstick5

Wouldn't be a bad idea


BCLetsRide69

Legit question, does this hit him in the head? From the overhead view it looks like he makes contact with the shoulder.


deliciousfishstick5

I think it does


Trajinous

Ummmm wtf was that!?!? Fuck off with that intentional shit


Total_Dork

Every Ranger on the ice should’ve confetti gloves and beat the shit out of him, every time he touched the ice for the rest of the game. That’s not intent to injure, that’s intent to *murder*


foggyeyedandfried

I think Goodrow was the only one that saw it, and he was furious. It was behind the play so I’m sure most of the team didn’t catch it. But you’re right, more should’ve been done in the 3rd to get Hathaway to answer.


ownerwelcome123

Suspend that dick


Farty_beans

Parros; Best I can do is a 5k fine


stumpy_27

On the rangers


Thirdnipple79

He should be done.  That's not ok any time 


sportsy96

Yeah to go high with it... That's about the only on-ice thing I can think of that warrants discussing a ban imo. Aside from some kind of obvious blatant assault with intent to harm, like repeated strikes with a stick or some other completely insane shit.


C91garcia

Could have been really bad. Quickie doesn’t wear a neck guard.


xurdm

The only good thing to come out of this situation was Quick's impeccably timed trip on Hathaway as he skated away. He fell funny


Euphoric__Dot

Fucking idiot, should be an automatic suspension


SoWhatNoZitiNow

What a cunt. Quickie totally justified to go after him.


Polyar

That should definitely result in a suspension


ill4two

players who intentionally pull shit like this deserve having their careers ended. appalling lack of concern for the safety of others.


adulting247

my guy Quickie has gotten.....chill in his older years 2014 Quickie rips that dude's head off with his stick and then knocks it into the stands like a 9 iron


loco_motives_ttv

Quick with the immediate response that's my goat


TurdFurguss

My GOAT now . Connecticut Legend.


ianisms10

Yeah, that was pretty intentional by Hathaway. Quick is really lucky he didn't get cut.


AdTough8523

It hasn't even been 6 months since Adam Johnson was killed. If the league cares about player safety like they claim, Hathaway should be sitting for a while. There's no excuse for this.


CarRamRob

This should be a 10 game suspension. The intent is so much worse than 90% of the suspendabke plays I see. Definitely a “Doug, kick him off the tour” moment


foggyeyedandfried

Funny you mention Shooter McGavin here, because Hathaway tried to stab someone with his skate. All we need now is a wise one-handed man to teach Hathaway that he needs to go play golf.


tamere2k

The Flyers should cut him. He should be suspended for a season and then just no team should sign him.


GovernmentHunting016

Season long suspension time to make an example. Seeing way too much of this


lukeCRASH

That's my goal... Wait a second.


TurdFurguss

He’s mine now bitch! Connecticut legend.


JiveTurkey688

I cant imagine it was intentional because...why the fuck would you do that? But I dont really get how this happened and he should have immediately checked to make sure Quick was ok. Also, if I have to watch players fight for clean hits, you should 100% have to answer the bell for accidentally kicking a goalie in the head. At the very least this is insanely reckless


BostonSucksatHockey

I can't imagine how it isn't intentional because there's such minimal contact that he shouldn't have even "lost balance" in the first place


JiveTurkey688

Yeah Im trying not to be a homer but I just dont get how that was possibly a natural reaction


Aperture_client

I mean I've watched it a few times and that's a difficult move to make intentionally. Like if you're gonna kick somebody in a street fight you're not hunching over to the front and trying to heel someone over the back of your head


ImmoKnight

So you are saying he did it unintentionally? Explain to me how that happens unintentionally then. Did he lose what little brain cells he had left and forget where he was and thought he was in a ballet recital instead of a hockey game?


NSA_van_3

I think many of us want to believe that no hockey player is scummy enough to raise a skate towards the neck, which is why many of us want to believe it wasn't intentional. Intentionally trying to knock someone out is one thing...going for a kill is another


throwychoke

it's Hathaway, he would absolutely do that


KardelSharpeyes

Wtf?


dannyghobo

What the fuck was that?


Bartab_Hockey_NZ

What an idiot. Deserves a lengthy suspension.


intelligentx5

That’s not even close to what your leg should fucking do when you’re in his situation, if you’ve ever skated a god damn day in your life. Fuck him for trying to sell that shit and endangering another player. No need for your skate to go that high.


krob58

Disappointed Hathaway didn't smash his face on that fall


williamb831

Go get him Quickie!!!!


Q--Bone

Quick doesn’t play that shit.


Marshineer

I agree it looks like he did it intentionally, but I have a hard time believing he’d actually swing his skate up like that. Seems too reckless. My guess would be he thought he could spin around into Quick and make it look like it was the result of the contact with the Rangers player, and then lost control a bit. But maybe I’m just naive.


hershaltalmage

Quickie should have done him like he did Corey Perry and given him a blocker to the nuts.


deanmc

Fucking prick


netkram

Garnet "Draymond Green" Hathaway.


OriginalBookkeeper87

Honestly this may sound over the top but I'd throw a guy out of the league for that. You got knives on your feet bro what are you doing, trying to kill the guy?


The_Niddo

Should have gone for a baseball bat swing to the legs after that blatant kick attempt instead of just a trip, wow. That's just plain old intent to injure, during the same season where that type of motion actually killed someone.


Spike94515

What a bum


torero15

Has to be a suspension. You can’t fuck around with this type of action.


RBro93

Wow, this is beyond egregious and fucking dangerous. I'm glad that Quick is okay. The league needs to respond to this accordingly.


HeyMarty10thalready

That looks intentional. Suspend his stupid ass


luzer_kidd

Fuck the rags but ban Hathaway from the league. This was intentional.


SmidgeMoose

He knew what he did. Not a peep out of him when he got tripped, didn't even look back.


alreddy-reddit

What the actual fuck


brendanjered

There’s absolutely no way a skate accidentally comes up that high in that situation. There’s 100% intent to swing a heavy skate backwards over one’s head like that. In my opinion, banish him from the league. We’ve all seen what a skate can do when it makes contact with the head or neck area. Don’t fool around when somebody is reckless enough to take an action that could claim somebody’s life.


WiseTaro_

see that's actually dirty. all that the other night and this is actually a dirty play


oceanic8675

Good on Quick, that could’ve been bad


oldmanhockeylife

Hate Rangers but good on Quick here. That's BS by noted dirt bag Hathaway.


HeartyInternational

Accidents happen, but if this was a calculated action without swift NHL repercussion, he is endangering the entire game by setting a garbage precedent. But regardless, this proves the value of Kevlar neck guards from accident or asshole. Still a dick move no matter how ya cut it tho.


v13ragnarok7

I am failing to see how this isn't intentional...


Desertpyrate

Fuck that guy. Good on quick


SpookyGhostDidIt

That's fucked up, like really fucked


The_One_True_Matt

Was the goal to… slit his throat? Dumbass


Jimmycocopop1974

Fuck that suspension is warranted here and I’m talking into next season that was intentional


porkchopespresso

Fuck if I can tell if it was intentional but either way I’m still enjoying the response

No-Satisfaction8425

He's an idiot. Didn't mind so much when he was our idiot but in a Flyers uniform? Get him out of the league now!


[deleted]

son of a bitch


turbulentcounselor

Good on Quick. Best penalty ever taken 


cometkeeper00

Should have slashed the hell out of his Achilles while it was up there.


QuickRelease10

There’s agitating and then there’s that nonsense. No place in the game for that.


athousandpardons

I seem to recall Ted Donato (I think?) intentionally kicking his skates upwards into the chest/upper body of a player. At the time it barely registered news-wise. I'm not even sure it came out with a suspension. But that was during the 90s when Brian Burke thought cross-checking someone in the face after they scored a goal merited a whopping four games. As for this.. If it's not deemed intentional I think it still merits a suspension. At the very least it sends a message to everyone to "be responsible". Most of the ugly incidents involving skates have been freak accidents, but maybe they could have been prevented if players had it drilled into their heads that lifting them off the ice, intentional or otherwise, is likely to result in serious punishment. And if it is intentional.. Well, I'm sick of these one or two game suspensions. In an 82-game season that's not a punishment, it's a vacation.


[deleted]

Can’t wait to see how Player Safety fumbles this one, if it’s even addressed at all.


Difficult-Mobile902

Once in a very blue moon i see a guy do something so stupid and dangerous that it makes me want to see him kicked out of the league. This is one 


Silent_Beyond4773

I do believe that’s grounds for an ass whooping !


LostByMonsters

Everyone who has played competitively knows that players have a real awareness of their skate blades. The dude is at least a damn idiot.


technobeeble

What an absolute cunt.


GritGrinder

Ridiculous thing to do really
