Jordin Tootoo of the Nashville Predators will likely face disciplinary action after cold-cocking Stephane Robidas in the chops during Saturday night's NHL game versus the Dallas Stars. Robidas was looking to make a clean hit on Tootoo after he ran Stars legend, Mike Modano hard into the boards.
In Tootoo’s defense, when your mind is pre-occupied with global warming now melting your summer home, it is difficult to tell the difference between a charging defenseman and a charging harp seal. The natural reaction is to start clubbing.

"Clean hit on Tootoo"??? You are kidding right? He tried to kill Tootoo and did not think about what can happen.
ReplyDeleteNot kidding, if you see Robidas isn't charging at him. No one deserves to be hit in the face by surprise. That is just dirty hockey.
ReplyDeleteAnd You hit a star player you should pay the price. Tootoo is a coward. He is the modern day Ulf Samuelsson.
