Tucker's hit on Kapanen

Is why I watch hockey. that entire overtime was unbelievable.

 

I almost felt sorry kap struggling to get to the bench.

I love Kapanen for his time in Carolina. I despise Tucker cuz I think he's a worm. It pains me to say this, but I think the hit was clean.

EDIT: upon further review, Tucker threw the elbow into Sami's jaw. Fuggin worm.

 

you could argue he left his feet too.

 

Kampenen is what...a 180lb euro forward? Offensive player that is not known for his physical play? Not knocking Sami but...
That is exactly the kind of player Tucker singles out to hit...someone who can't or won't hit/fight back. Watch him during a scrum along the boards when everybody pairs off...he picks the smallest and least physical player to challenge. Cheap shot pussy. And when that joke of a diving rule came into effect,(as far as enforcement), the NHL had a list of players to watch...guess who was at the top of it?
Ms. Tucker.

 

Actually, 'Canes fans (well most of them anyway) know that Kapanen is a little bulldog who has never shied away from physical contact. Is he a bruiser? No. But he's more than happy to play a physical game.

 

with the exception of when Tucker's elbow is in his cheekbone. then he is just mush.
