Инцидент с применением клюшки между игроками «Брюинз» и «Сейбрз» в матче плей-офф НХЛ
В шестом матче первого раунда плей-крестовых баталий между «Баффало Сейбрз» и «Бостон Брюинз», состоявшемся в пятницу, произошел серьезный инцидент. В концовке третьего периода, когда «Сейбрз» вели со счетом 4:1, во время борьбы за шайбу возник конфликт между игроками.Зака Бенсона из «Баффало» и Чарли Макэвоя из «Бостона» обвиняют в нарушении правил: при попытке занять позицию Бенсон совершил опасный прием («slew-footing»), в результате чего Макэвой потерял равновесие и врезался в борт. В ответ на это Макэвоя обвиняют в агрессивном действии — он совершил резкий замах клюшкой в сторону соперника.Данный инцидент вызвал неоднозначную реакцию в спортивном сообществе: одни считают действия Макэвоя оправданной реакцией на опасный прием, другие осуждают его за потерю самообладания. Несмотря на напряженность матча, «Сейбрз» одержали победу, завершив серию и выйдя в следующий раунд, в то время как «Брюинз» выбыли из плей-офф.
Bruins' Charlie McAvoy swings stick at Sabres' Zach Benson in violent outburst during playoff elimination
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are one of the most unique events in all of sports in that these teams can compete against each other and leave their literal blood, sweat, puke and tears on the ice for seven games, and, when it's all said and done, will meet at center ice to shake hands and congratulate one another on a hard-fought series.While there are plenty of displays of sportsmanship after the final buzzer sounds, that doesn't mean relations are all that warm and fuzzy during the games.That was on display in Game 6 of a first-round series between the Buffalo Sabres and Boston Bruins Friday night.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!As time was winding down in the third period and the Sabres nursing a 4-1 lead, it looked as though the Bruins were headed towards another quiet, disappointing early exit in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.As the Sabres dumped the puck in deep to try and slot home another empty net goal, that's when all hell broke loose.Buffalo's Zach Benson and Boston's Charlie McAvoy chased the puck into the zone and, while battling for position, Benson "slew-footed" McAvoy, causing the latter to lose his balance and go crashing into the boards.What McAvoy did next can only be described as "assault."JOSH ALLEN ANNIHILATES A BEER TO FIRE UP THE SABRES CROWDThat kind of swing would get you 5-10 in a state penitentiary if you tried it on the streets.What in the world is McAvoy thinking there?I mean, obviously, he isn't. Clearly, his wires just got crossed and he was ready to take his frustration out on Benson.I will say Benson's slew-foot move wasn't exactly aboveboard either and is extremely dangerous, but to haul off and try to decapitate him with a hockey stick kind of feels like bringing a nuke to a knife fight.Just drop the gloves and pound his face in like a normal hockey player.Public opinion seems split on the matter. Some are saying McAvoy was justified while others are chastising him for losing his cool.Well, would you look at that. The internet can't agree on anything, what a shock!Regardless, the Bruins and McAvoy will once again be golfing in May, while the Sabres have finally won a playoff series for the first time since George W. Bush was still in office.Playoff hockey, you gotta love it! Even if it includes attempted facial reconstruction surgery by way of hockey stick.
