Many people are calling this a dirty hit, and Liambus should be suspended.
I see it as a clean hit and Fenelli turned at the very worst moment.
Suspend for a clean hit? No. And you cannot suspend someone for not stopping the game immediately and hunching over the guy he just hit. If he did that, the other players would likely swarm and kick his ass.Mekstizzle wrote:
I think what's bad is that the guy is clearly lying on the floor not even moving yet the dude who smacked into him doesn't even give a shit. Fuck him, suspend that bitch

Generally speaking, the ages of OHL players range from 16-20 years. Some get granted exceptional status and get in at 15 (ex. John Tavares I think) but usually 17/18/19 year olds afaik, 20 is a little old usually but still allowed.Ultrafunkula wrote:
Umm... Guys, that's far from a clean hit. It's bad case of charging with a nasty result. He's speeding up from the middle of the rink and stops just a few feet before the hit. Ask any ref.
About the length of the suspension. It seems harsh but then again he should've gave it a thought before doing that in the first place. I read somewhere that the kid who got mauled is 16 while the suspended dude is 20 and over aged as one of those reporters said in another youtube clip. Now don't you think that someone who has been around for longer should know better than hitting guys with less experience like that? One thing I don't know are how old the other guys playing that league are, so I could be pointing my finger about the age question in vein.

Nothing wrong with that hit. If the defender pays any attention at all he would have protected himself. I guess his not NHL material.
