Yikes. I've seen a few comments about Dubois looking like he's completely checked out.

Has he been playing well? 1 goal in 5 games, and that came in a game that saw him get semi-benched for a long stretch of time before scoring. And this isn't the first time observers have called him out for floating.

If he isn't traded soon, the Dubois situation is really going to get ugly.

Habs are averaging almost 5 goals a game. Don't think that's sustainable.Zee said:

Myers with a high hit on Armia at the end of a game Vancouver was out of. Armia is out with a concussion and it looks like no supplemental discipline for Myers.
Even if the first point of contact isn't his head he drives the shoulder up thorugh the hit.
DOPS is useless.

Disagree...that's a good hit. Head not targeted, chest was.L K said:

Yup, it's a legal hit and not against the rules. Nothing wrong with it.Bullfrog said:

If you aren't trying to drive into a pedestrian but still happen to hit that person for some reason, it's no biggie? You can't measure intent, but you can measure results. The first point of contact stipulation is pretty stupid as far as health and safety of players goes. A high stick that clips a face after glancing off an arm is still a high stick.
Also, legal doesn't necessarily mean good and right.

I didn't make the rules and it wasn't against them so it was a good hit IMO and the NHL's also. You don't agree and that's ok.herman said:
Your reference to hitting a pedestrian, ridiculous. What was I trying to hit with my vehicle when I accidentally nailed a pedestrian? Myers was intending to hit Armia after all.

Hitting Armia = driving
Hitting Armia's head (accidentally or otherwise) = hitting a pedestrian in the course of doing something legal
The point is, consequences don't care what your intentions are. Armia is concussed and basically NHL/DoPS shrugged when they could have created and enforced a safer workplace.
