That's brutal. Should cost him at least 1 game.

Tampa Bay’s Brandon Hagel has been suspended for one game for interference against Florida’s Aleksander Barkov. https://t.co/bUjN38RAf6

Barkov might miss more

 

[princedpw]

After 2 periods Guentzel, Kucherov, point have 9 shots. The other Lightening forwards have 2 shots.

Florida’s defense is incredibly scary.

And then they weren't lol

Guentzel did stay in the game…but we will see where this goes https://t.co/SmMPqdocBZ

Similar to the Hagel hit (and probably retribution for it). Should also probably be a game.

Finally get a chance to watch a full Battle of Florida game

 

[Ozzie]

That big nose rat just got an assist.

 

[herman]

Uh that’s a pretty brutal elbow from Ekblad to Hagel’s face

This should be supplemental discipline

 

[Ozzie]

Hagel got hit with a forearm to the head by Ekblad and had to go off for concussion protocol.

No penalty and Cooper goes ballistic.

Then Tampa responds with 2 very quick goals!

What a game!

Ref staring straight at it too.

He's got those huge PED pipes like Popeye.

Ref staring straight at it too.

And a linesman looking right at it too.

 

[Ozzie]

SN panel is saying Ekblad's forearm to Hagel's head is suspendable for about a game.

But this is revenge and should be for a few games.

 

[L K]

That looks more like he punched him in the head rather than his elbow. The uncalled head hits have been beyond stupid so far in the playoffs. That's like the 10th one already.

I'm going to enjoy the day when the NHL goes bankrupt over the CTE lawsuits. Bettman and his geriatric posse need to retire.

This got called. We’ll see if it matches Kadri’s suspension.

Yeah. One under normal circumstances, sure. Should be an extra game given it was almost certainly delivered with a degree of vengeance.

 

[Ozzie]

Popeye with the equalizer

 

[princedpw]

Part way through the 3rd and still on,y 4 shots from Tampa forwards.

Popeyes equalizer deemed offside after a coaches challenge
