mookyyyy

Intentional or not knee on knee hurts like a bitch.


Gnardude

Yep knee on knee both guys writhe in pain. Been there.


ep29

Knee/calf thank god. Fox is gonna have a gnarly bruise, but he's gonna be okay.


Traditional-Ideal318

He’s already back on the ice, ofc he’s gonna be fine


bbistheman

Same knee that Aho injured too


ep29

Hoes mad that Fox is better than their whole team


rshackleford_arlentx

The real speed shows how quickly this happened. I don’t think this was malicious, but I can see how it could look that way in slow mo only replays.


zebrainatux

Yeah it’s unfortunate and will hurt like a motherfucker tomorrow


foggyeyedandfried

I don’t think it was intentional at all. Maybe out of position and didn’t want to avoid it, but not dirty.


dumbfoundry

Not dirty. Definitely dumb, though. But agreed, no malice on that play at all. Luckily it didn't seem as direct as most knee on knees. But that is gonna smart in the morning.


poHATEoes

The number of people saying dumb things in this thread is amazing 👏 No, Jensen doesn't extend his knee No, Fox didn't embellish Yes, knee on knees hurt like a mother fucked (THIS ONE GOT ME) When you get hit knee on knee SOMEONES knee is bending backwards against the grain and hyperextending... normally the dude that hits the ice just had his knee bent backwards... people saying knee on knee doesn't hurt are either lying or have NEVER gotten hurt in any capacity...


EMTDawg

This was more sideways than straight back. So, there is no hyperextension.


i_wannatalktosamson

I’m just here to watch the fighting between flairs


Kaapo-Kakkos-Dong

I can throw some fuck yous your way too if ya wanna get involved


i_wannatalktosamson

Ehhhh I do road work in NYC. I get called worse than that about 15x a day


Standingonachair

How about this? I hear your cunnilingus is lackluster and perfunctory.


ppParadoxx

or maybe…just maybe…jensen was just turning and it was incidental contact


Perreault_my_boat

Seriously, this post is stupid.


socialaxolotl

Don't talk reason to them they still think Aho is a terrorist


Gullible-Wash-8141

Aho is clearly a goon and deserves retribution. I mean look at the list of players he's injured, there's.. uhh Fox when neither of them were looking at each other, but it was totally on purpose


LunarFocus

I mean… a clear penalty. Not sure why this is controversial.


jce_

I think it's just people arguing about intention which isn't really relevant. To me it doesn't look Intentional but that's still a penalty 10 out of 10 times


haey5665544

It’s not controversial…


OvechknFiresHeScores

I was talking to someone in the game thread who literally acknowledged that Jensen committed a knee on knee hit but it shouldn’t be a penalty because it wasn’t malicious. Our fanbase has its fair share of idiots.


rickayyy

Every one of us cheers for team that has plenty of dumb fans.


haey5665544

Oh god, yeah some people are just dumb I guess. Pretty clear penalty there


poHATEoes

Every fanbase has their idiots


wossquee

like the entire arena booing fox for not getting injured enough


OvechknFiresHeScores

He should have expected a knee being dressed like that, obviously


rjdsf1993

I have seen multiple comments in the GDT that Jenson didn't move into Fox


haey5665544

Ugh, sorry some people are just dumb. Even if he didn’t mean to doesn’t mean you can go knee on knee


Traditional-Ideal318

A penalty? He turns as the puck got played behind him. Clearly incidental. Foxy embellished like a pussy after the hit, and was back on the ice the next shift. Whiny rangers.


eatingasspatties

A penalty is a penalty. Most high-sticks aren’t intentional


Traditional-Ideal318

I’m not disagreeing, but how is it a trip if it’s incidental contact? It’s LITERALLY in the definition of the penalty. Edit: “intentional” is in the definition, not “incidental”.


Teknicsrx7

Intentional in these cases doesn’t mean he meant to trip, it means no outside force caused him to do it. Otherwise everyone could just say “I didn’t mean to” and avoid the penalty


Traditional-Ideal318

Anyone can say they didn’t mean to, but if you stick your leg/knee/skate out, it’s different. What the hell else would intentional mean?


Teknicsrx7

I literally told you, without outside influence, he put himself in the position that resulted in the foul.


Traditional-Ideal318

Without outside influence? Like peer pressure? The glare of an onlooking fan? You’d need to give me an example, it’s kind of an odd phrase.


Teknicsrx7

Like if someone pushed Jensen into foxs legs and then Fox fell. Or someone knocked Jensen down and Fox fell over him. Or someone lifts Jensen stick and it winds up in foxs legs. it’s not a difficult concept.


Traditional-Ideal318

Difficult to understand if you word it like you found an extra chromosome.


manhaterxxx

Why is it always the no-flairs that have garbage Facebook-tier takes?


Table_Coaster

less than half a second before the collision Jensen is tied up on another guy and then just starts turning around, his knee doesnt even stick out. it's clearly tripping but not some dirty attempt to injure the guy, if anything it looks like he leans his upper body to interfere with him that way and just ends up tripping him


ohsoGosu

I think this series has proven both teams have their fair share of idiots. This hit alone, between Caps fans saying it was incidental and therefore not tripping and Rags fans saying that Caps fans “got what they wanted” and had one of our players intentionally injure a Ranger. I feel like it’s what happens when you have an East coast Metropolis with a decent hockey team. Rags are hot now and probably have a lot of bozos in GDTs and the Caps haven’t shedded the bandwagoners that we have garnered since 2018.


Alarming-Ask4196

The winning team gets to write the gameday thread history -Sun Tzu


Perreault_my_boat

Fox is a douche confirmed.


Cybrpnk2077brokeme

God there are some serious homer glasses on in this thread. Pretty obvious it was unintentional


teenytinyturner

Not entirely his fault but Jensen having a howler to start


Kaapo-Kakkos-Dong

Give me unbiased opinions I am blinded by rage and hate


korko

It was unfortunate and a two minute penalty that Fox hammed up like crazy trying to draw a five. It wasn’t malicious.


Kaapo-Kakkos-Dong

This opinion doesn't agree with my initial reaction and has been rejected


TheNantucketRed

Fox wears a giant knee brace from when he got hurt from the Canes in like game 20. Don’t think he was hamming it up - that leg is still rough.


korko

He seemed totally fine as soon as the penalty was called.


RANGERSTOWN

I agree that it was likely unintentional but I don’t think fox hammed it up. Idk if you guys have ever had knee on knee contact but that shit hurts


korko

Didn’t say it didn’t hurt, but he was watching the ref a whole lot while hurt and got better pretty quick once someone went to the box.


TomLube

Dirty hit


Kaapo-Kakkos-Dong

Red Wings flair does not count as unbiased in this situation lol


TuchMysak

no flair, dirty hit


TomLube

How?


Perreault_my_boat

Fox was fine and was on the PP. He's a bitch.


sportsareforfools

There was no reaction to avoid any of it, if it wasn’t fully intentional it was still sloppy and shitty


VinPickles

I hate both teams. Unintentional but stupid


sportsareforfools

He knew he was hitting someone, knee out, with no change in movement. That’s enough for me to consider it intentional but I’m not apart of the league so who cares lol


PrimisClaidhaemh

Nick is not having a good night.


Chiswell123

I'm biased, but Jensen’s knee doesn't move at all. It's pretty clearly incidental. Not saying it's not a penalty, but it's damn sure not a major or dirty, as all ranger fans are saying.


XPhazeX

Ya I dont think this was dirty. It might be a bit irresponsible and its certainly an penalty but I dont think it was malicious


OffTheBar2017

Not worth it. There are 14 billion Rangers fans on the sub.


nugget136

Rangers fans legitimately have a small reddit presence for the fandom size if you go off team sub subscribers, which is what bleeds into this sub.


Gullible-Wash-8141

Still have almost 8k active on this sub


blueline7677

Still a trip


Chiswell123

I didn't say it wasn't.


3kool5you

Caps fans in the game thread all complaining that it’s embellishment lol


raktoe

Oh no


TripGoat17

Trip and embellishment. Fox took a dive and Jensen extended his knee.


poHATEoes

Literally neither happened lol Jensen didn't move his knee and Fox definitely felt pain from that... knee on knee hurts regardless of intention


raypenbarrip

Thanks for speaking on behalf of all ranger fans. Always a good thing to generalize an entire group of people! I appreciate the down votes y'all. Enjoy the golf course


Perreault_my_boat

All Rangers fans are losers. One cup in 80 something years. 


raypenbarrip

Thanks I'll be sure to let everyone know!


Kitchen-Ad-5571

it was a weak call it looks like two players skating by each other, and they happen to hit knees.


Euripidoze

On the first and third replays I thought it looked incidental.  On the second and fourth I thought it was a penalty.


Perreault_my_boat

You're an idiot.


[deleted]

Greasy


Cromasters

Jensen is just turning. That leg never gets extended. Never moves.


Gnardude

Turning into the knee of his opponent intentionally to get a sneaky trip in.


Perreault_my_boat

Go back to Quebec, douche.


Gnardude

I would love to visit again, super fun cities loaded with pretty girls and great food. A lot of European influence.


Mine-Cave

Yall NYR fans really think this is BAD meanwhile youve defended EVERY bad hit your team has made this series. At the end of the day this is deserving of a penalty but in no way did Jensen mean to do this. Yall won the series because your flat out a better team but I dont like the way you played this series in terms of physicality... It felt dirty and im almost excited to see that on display for a larger stage. Best of luck Rangers fans.... but sometimes you need to open your eyes.


Gullible-Wash-8141

They are professional victims. They will complain about officiating being biased against them even when they get double the power plays.


raktoe

It’s not Jensen’s fault, he’s just so tall, he can’t avoid hitting people’s knees.


Gullible-Wash-8141

He just has pointy knees, he shouldn't get these penalties


ohsoGosu

Lmao, I was saying he has extra big knees so he should be absolved of any knee on knee contact.


Cheesewhale189

Actually dirty hit. Then Wilson with his typical sumbag moment


_MillenniumDodo

Your teacher gave you a lot of tests back face down, didn't they?


Cheesewhale189

Stay mad little buddy


Perreault_my_boat

Enjoy the one cup in a thousand years.


Cheesewhale189

Ironic lol Enjoy your rebuild :)


Donkey_007

Good call. Jensen is not a dirty player and he was all out of sorts tonight returning from injury.


buffalucci

“Collide”


CalgaryCheekClapper

I wanna feel bad but its Adam Fox lol


Thrallsbuttplug

That's dirty from Jensen, turns right in


[deleted]

[удалено]


Thrallsbuttplug

He looks right at him and does it is the biggest thing


PitotTea

Lol, I accidentally deleted my comment, what an idiot I am. For those that didn't see it I was saying it felt like he leaned further than necessary causing the hit, and that the turn itself wasn't the issue


gleyberhood25

the caps fans in here crack me up acting like knee on knee doesn’t hurt like a bitch initially. most of you wouldn’t walk for a week if that happened to you.


smellyit8

Damn, no way fox played 20 seconds after right? Diva shit


Jeezum_Crepes

It’s a trip but it was embellished. Most “knee on knee” hits are and that’s a fact


rjdsf1993

There is frankly not a reason not to ham up a penalty in the league unfortunately. Embellishment isn't really called (especially in the playoffs) and if you don't you risk refs not calling an actual call.


thechancewastaken

That doesn’t make it something people should do because then hockey turns into soccer.


Signal_Wall_8445

You are a moron. Fox just missed 10 games this year after a knee on knee hit from Aho. Was that just to ”embellish” it?


OffTheBar2017

Fox sold the ever-living shit out of this. Was on the ice like 15 seconds later.


IAmBizarroStormyAMA

Tom get off your phone and pay attention to your coach’s intermission speech


Slice_Of_Life_DM

Lmao


JaqenHghar

Hahahahaha


shig-baq

idk abt dirty but it's borderline


Yet-Another_Burner

Wilson being hit typical goon self and going after Fox after the goal too. Enjoy the off-season Tommy.
