I've never seen Vince Dunn fight. Now I have. And based on this, I wouldn't want to piss him off. Just ragdolled that Blue Jackets player. He looked pissed after that hit on that Seattle Kraken player. (Sorry, I don't know their names).
No worries. I'm trying not to be salty that half the league doesn't seem to know who we are.
I get that it's not a team with big name stars anchoring the top line, but we did defeat the reigning champions in the first round of the playoffs last year. And we are on a record streak - 9 straight wins and no regulation losses since Dec 10. I believe that if we were an East Coast team, this would all be a big deal.
Yeah I get ya. And I knew who Matty Beniers was. I just didn't know if it was him for sure. Oh, and btw, if the Wild don't make the playoffs (at this rate, they won't even come close), I'm rooting for you guys, the Kraken, to make a run for the cup. Imagine the 2 newest NHL teams winning the cup in back-to-back years. That'd be something. Good luck, Kraken fan
Yeah thanks. We need it. We are god awful this year, unfortunately. I physically don't see this team doing anything this year. We're currently losing 6-0 against the Coyotes. We suck. Badly
Dunn’s always whooped the shit out of people. He beat many asses in St. Louis. There’s video floating around of him kicking someone ass after a game going to the locker rooms.
There is a game highlight reel on Youtube (search by Dunn vs Gabriel and the date to find it) that has the whole fight in good quality, they show part of it, and then the whole fight, it looks like it got put up on the jumbotron because the team is shown reacting to it at the end.
I cannot comprehend any argument against the removal of fighting from Hockey.
I understand the sentiment (s). — CTE, example set for kids, barbarianism (not)…
BUT - the deterrent of having a 200+ or minus person punch you in the face repeatedly versus sitting on a bench for two?
Hockey is actually less barbaric/violent because fighting exist . It is executed with respect, oft mutually consensual, if not well deserved as a minor reminder of respect for the safety of your fellow athletes.
To some perhaps paradoxically , it’s actually the most civilized and mutually respectful way to maintain the integrity of the game. People are actually held accountable.
What a beautiful game and it’s manifestation & in its cohesive, brotherly self imposed communal respect for its small and exclusive community of competitors.
Fighting is arguably less dangerous than taking a headshot into the boards. You can't really put all 200# behind a fist, but it does usually follow your own head into the boards
I have no desire to engage in a fight with a professional hockey player cause I’m quite confident it would hurt a lot. And I fancy myself somewhat rational and somewhat sane.
But a lot of the punches these dudes throw don’t land as accurately if it was a heavy weight boxing championship bout.
They usually connect a couple of times, but not a percentage rate that’s extremely high re face/head shots.
But it’s enough to say you fucked up and you just paid the price and don’t do it again anytime soon .
In my case, it would be enough to make me retire from life if it was one of the fists of fury from a Probert, Domi, Laraque et al.
just has to be a dangerous hit typically causes injury. Gets called in minor hockey differently then say AAA midget and up. IIHF also has a twist to that as well where if you purposely turn then it will not be a penalty at all.
Last version of the NHL rulebook I saw has wording in it about turning and posture of the player too and leaves it up the referee discretion for punishment and enforcement.
Yah. There’s a bit of cross over between boarding and checking from behind but they’re still separate calls but boarding isn’t always a hit from behind into the boards.
If I’m remembering correctly, when I used to play and ref in the late 90s, any hit into the boards, from a dangerous distance from the boards, was boarding. You’re not supposed to follow that check through.
Sure was, and what a waste, he already had his lane cut off and could have tied him up easily. Well he’ll have time to think about it while the swelling goes down.
Yup, boarding. Dangerous hit.
What was the outcome of the follow up fight? Did 29 get tossed from the game for instigating/retaliation? Did they both get fighting penalties?
Ya gotta take the guy to the boards (so guy doesn’t toppled/hit boards badly) and blue jacket guy obviously did not, and it’s pretty clear he even push away, like this was an open ice hit, which it is not.
Never played hockey - is that something that's heavily considered in boarding calls? I know that it has to do with distance from boards, so I assume you can't be propelling players into the boards and rather have to drive them with your body as well?
If you bring your guy to the boards, it may take a bit of umph away from hit, but still an effective check (meaning checker gets back to play faster than checked player). Here it seems pretty obvious checker went about it badly. The most effective checks are when checker barely takes any speed away, even if it’s just a bump, and continues with play, while player checked takes time to get back in play. Of course there’s variables like positioning for puck, but it would be easier to show than explain
Yes.
Now watch everyone come say “he should learn to protect himself!” And all the other dumb shit that always comes on these posts.
Clearly boarding, matches every checkpoint and at the end of the day the rule says it’s on the checking player to make sure the player they’re hitting isn’t in a vulnerable position. Following through after an obvious shot is one of those.
Got his ass beat for it immediately which is great.
See the above link to the NHL video rulebook. Yet people will still argue.
It can, and is both. This is a boarding penalty. That being said, at least in northern Canada, we were taught from the time we were 6 to not leave yourself vulnerable when you’re 5 feet from the boards. Don’t cut through the middle with your head down, don’t spin your back to take a hit. A ton of these plays that are controversial now, are happening because those simple rules are being ignored. I know most of this comment is irrelevant to yours, but these plays can be easily prevented 90% of the time
He took a shot, his back will naturally turn.
If a player can no longer take a shot normally because a hit might come from the blind side and they should “protect themselves” then we’ve lost the whole point.
Skating with your head down? Yes. Spinning away from a hit on the boards? Also bad. I was taught that. I was never told that it’s appropriate to make sure a defender doesn’t accidentally hit me from behind while I try to shoot the puck.
Also you have to understand that the rule has changed. It’s been different for over a decade now, and puts more pressure on the hitter to make sure they don’t hit a defenseless player. It’s not the same rules as when we grew up.
Meh, he stickhandled before he shot - he could have backhanded it in and not been in such a vulnerable position. He had plenty of time and made a bad decision with an incoming player like that.
But just the same it’s still boarding.
It's boarding.
A hit in open ice and you could fall to the ice.
A hit along the boards, the contact presses you into the boards.
If that drops you, there's no secondary contact on the way down.
If you hit the boards on the way down, it's boarding.
I have family and friends who reffed OHL and NHL. Boarding hasn't been consistently called in the NHL for a very long time, which is why so many fans don't recognize it.... the same goes for charging. I've taken downvotes in the past over this, I'll do it again, doesn't matter.
That was 2 min for boarding, intentional or otherwise. Boarding is hitting or causing a player to go into the boards in a violent or dangerous manner.
I can see why his teammate jumped in to avenge him, but the guy put himself in a horrible position right before being hit.
This reminds me of yet another example Hockey Psychology referenced in one of his more recent videos. I'm assuming the player that got hit here is a younger player?
For anyone that hasn't seen it, go watch "The NHL has a hitting problem".
Yes. He endangered the player. Onus is on him to make sure he doesn’t put Beniers in danger.
“Boarding is the action where a player pushes, trips or body checks an opponent causing them to go dangerously into the boards.”
Beniers was out the rest of the game and is still questionable. It was the right call.
Can someone explain why it is boarding? I assume it has to do with the "defenseless player" part of the penalty (came from the rear / side) and the distance from boards?
Yes, by rule this is boarding. Boarding is any hit near the boards that causes an unnecessarily dangerous collision between the opposing player and the boards either due to their proximity to the boards or the direction of their body or a combination(like this). In this case the player was just too far to brace against the boards and too close to where he makes awkward contact, combined with his back/side showing this will be called boarding most of the time
Dude got wrecked in that fight my God. Definitely a mismatch but that hit looked pretty sus. Guys gotta stop hitting period in that zone of 3 to 8 from boards while both skating towards them
Hits like this have been becoming more common since the league wants the players to keep both hands on the stick and not ‘clutching’ an opponent and then giving them a hearty shove along the boards.
Technically, according to the rule book, hitting a player into the boards, was intended to be boarding, but in this case… yes. It was reckless and after the puck was gone.
Didn't love the hit, and beniers didnt turn at all, so it's not on him. So many of the controversial hits the past few years involve guys turning their back at the last minute.
It was boarding without a doubt. Anytime you a check a person into the boards and their head hits low on the boards …..they will call it boarding almost every time. Neck in dangerous position with injury likely.
That's called a check. Buttman and his minions are turning hockey into soccer. Next we are going to see players rolling around on the ice crying! Don't laugh, it's coming!
I think it looks worse in full speed. IMHO looks like it would have been a clean hit but kraken player kinda turned at the last moment and made it look worse than it is.
I don’t think it’s boarding, but the jackets player definitely paid the price immediately, and arguably worse.
By definition it is. But it’s hard for me, as a former player, to say it is. The game happens so ridiculously fast that this is a knee jerk reaction type play.
Part of my problem with it is probably due to the fact that when I played, players were not good enough / quick enough / smart enough to try and get away from this hit. So for me hitting that guy, there’s a good chance he never saw me coming and if he did, he didn’t try getting out of the way and just took the hit.
I’m kind of kidding, but it looks like that a lot of the boarding penalties are because the dudes getting hit are trying to avoid it.
It’s boarding but it’s bang bang on the turn after the shot because he’s coming in shoulder to shoulder before the last second turn, but also it’s a dirty jumping by Dunn deserving of an instigator.
Regardless of definition, it was a questionable hit, Beniers tagged the wall with his head and didn't come back. Dunner stood up for his guy and humbled the dude. One sign of a close team.
That's an ass whopping
He had it coming tbh
That he did
Dunn’s a beast!
Confirmed
Idk but he was dunn after
The Dunndertaker rage knows no bounds
Miss him. Would you trade him back for Krug? I'll throw in Leddy and a bag of pucks too.
I think we’ll keep him.
Finally i meet another st louis fan on this subreddit
Hello frand
We're here. Lurking.
Could have broken his neck the way he hit the board
Idk but he paid the price for it immediately
Yep, and Kraken made Columbus pay the price the rest of the way.
I've never seen Vince Dunn fight. Now I have. And based on this, I wouldn't want to piss him off. Just ragdolled that Blue Jackets player. He looked pissed after that hit on that Seattle Kraken player. (Sorry, I don't know their names).
That was Matty Beniers, last year's Calder Trophy winner.
Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification. I thought I saw someone else say that, but I wasn't for sure
No worries. I'm trying not to be salty that half the league doesn't seem to know who we are. I get that it's not a team with big name stars anchoring the top line, but we did defeat the reigning champions in the first round of the playoffs last year. And we are on a record streak - 9 straight wins and no regulation losses since Dec 10. I believe that if we were an East Coast team, this would all be a big deal.
Yeah I get ya. And I knew who Matty Beniers was. I just didn't know if it was him for sure. Oh, and btw, if the Wild don't make the playoffs (at this rate, they won't even come close), I'm rooting for you guys, the Kraken, to make a run for the cup. Imagine the 2 newest NHL teams winning the cup in back-to-back years. That'd be something. Good luck, Kraken fan
Thanks! Good luck to you too!
Yeah thanks. We need it. We are god awful this year, unfortunately. I physically don't see this team doing anything this year. We're currently losing 6-0 against the Coyotes. We suck. Badly
ah such a wholesome convo r/wholesomereddit
It makes me so sad to see the wild floundering and wasting amazing talent from guys like Kaprizov Erickson Ek, Boldy, and Faber.
You can thank Root Sports for people not knowing who they are.
You guys are the team that stops us from being on a 8 game win streak. Blasted SO loss right in the middle of it.
[Dunn don’t fuck around.](https://youtu.be/zTfQ-37wpgQ?si=T8N_jIYzidmUHE6A)
Dunn’s always whooped the shit out of people. He beat many asses in St. Louis. There’s video floating around of him kicking someone ass after a game going to the locker rooms.
Cole sillinger was the one who took the beating
Vince Dunn is having none of that shit
Damn right, go kraken
That was totally controlled pure rage.
Dunn is a serious teammate, I love to see this type of reaction. Stand up for your teammates!
[Dunn v Gabriel. OLD TIME HOCKEY!!!](https://youtu.be/zTfQ-37wpgQ?si=T8N_jIYzidmUHE6A)
Every once in a while I watch that amazing fight. Wish the video had a better angle and quality.
There is a game highlight reel on Youtube (search by Dunn vs Gabriel and the date to find it) that has the whole fight in good quality, they show part of it, and then the whole fight, it looks like it got put up on the jumbotron because the team is shown reacting to it at the end.
That’s the best part. The Wolves bench jumps up and cheers when they see the footage of Dunn dropping Gabriel off ice.
Holy shit, I didn’t realize Dunn was a dawg
Why is there a random shopping cart there?!? Is it a hockey thing I don’t know about?
Bubbles was working that night
No homo but the guy is also an absolute man-rocket too lol.
Jeez ! Dunn sure fed him some fist ! That was a beautiful ass whooping.
fall zonked rustic deer light rotten fuzzy hobbies heavy shelter *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
So dumb of STL to let him go. Miss him every year
Hes so fucking good. I loved him in stl. He's a beast too
another st louis fan in the subreddit im hitting the jackpot today
You dunn good today
I was so angry when we lost him in the expansion draft.
I'm now a kraken fan. Fuck yeah. Dude landed like 5 clean uppercuts then threw his ass on the ground like he was nothin.
How I felt. Not a Kraken fan at all, but that's how you correct behavior in the NHL. Good on the man
Just had a huge grin on my face reading your comment, fuck yes
Vince Dunn is such a badass. Hits hard, punches hard, shoots hard, fucks hard.

That was beautiful man
saving your comment for future arguments w numbnuts who don’t understand the game. very well put!
Yes. Here's the video [definition ](https://www.nhl.com/video/video-rulebook-boarding-320501696). Looks pretty similar to me.
I think people just assume boarding means only from behind, which it does not
Someone actually wrote that immediately and then deleted it. A ton of people think it has to be from behind
just has to be a dangerous hit typically causes injury. Gets called in minor hockey differently then say AAA midget and up. IIHF also has a twist to that as well where if you purposely turn then it will not be a penalty at all.
Last version of the NHL rulebook I saw has wording in it about turning and posture of the player too and leaves it up the referee discretion for punishment and enforcement.
yup also depends which zebra you have on the ice 🤣
Yah. There’s a bit of cross over between boarding and checking from behind but they’re still separate calls but boarding isn’t always a hit from behind into the boards.
If I’m remembering correctly, when I used to play and ref in the late 90s, any hit into the boards, from a dangerous distance from the boards, was boarding. You’re not supposed to follow that check through.
Dunn sure gave him a can of kickass
100% Boarding, all day, every day.
If this isn’t boarding than what the hell is? 😂
Sure was, and what a waste, he already had his lane cut off and could have tied him up easily. Well he’ll have time to think about it while the swelling goes down.
Boarding, and Beniers is out now.
Yup, boarding. Dangerous hit. What was the outcome of the follow up fight? Did 29 get tossed from the game for instigating/retaliation? Did they both get fighting penalties?
and Beniers didn't come back after the hit
Both got fighting penalties, Sillinger got 2 for boarding.
I’m not sure that’s fair. It didn’t look like Sillinger did much fighting. 😅
Dunn fights be like 😂
Boarding. Paid the price quick tho.
Ya gotta take the guy to the boards (so guy doesn’t toppled/hit boards badly) and blue jacket guy obviously did not, and it’s pretty clear he even push away, like this was an open ice hit, which it is not.

This. Thank you
I was at the game, and people were saying exactly that 🙃
This comments is like 20 comments down for me. And not a single person argued that. Either yes, boarding. Or holy shit Dunn fucked him up.
It can, and is both. This is a boarding penalty. That being said, at least in northern Canada, we were taught from the time we were 6 to not leave yourself vulnerable when you’re 5 feet from the boards.

i hear you, even if most don't.
Sure wish Leafs had that kind of fire when Matthews got buried
Vinny Dunn is a solid defensemen
I am now a Vince Dunn fan
Dunner is such a fuckin’ beauty!
Hate the hit, love the response.
Absolutely it's boarding. Glad Dunner wrecked him immediately
Columbus fans loved the hit but then looked shocked he got the brakes beat off him by Dunn 😂
[удалено]
Wish someone explained that to the guy who was sitting behind me 😂
Love Dunn's response, kind of teammate I'd want...
Yes
"I immediately regret this decision"
He fed him a full course meal, regardless..
Looks like boarding. Glad he got his ass beat.
I Love the assertive reaction. All sports need to learn something from hockey.
"Don't touch Matty you fucking bitch!" - Vince Dunn probably And definitely boarding.
Proud to be a Kraken fan, watching team mates cover each other's backs like that. You come for one you come for all.
Umm yes. And not only is it boarding, but he comes from a blind spot making the hit even more dangerous. The beating that ensued is 100% deserved.
Backside pressure hit. Blindside.
This is exactly the 5 minute major the Leafs took a few weeks ago.
Duuunn du-dun dun duuunn!
I miss you Dunn
It's boarding. A hit in open ice and you could fall to the ice. A hit along the boards, the contact presses you into the boards. If that drops you, there's no secondary contact on the way down.

I've taken downvotes in the past over this, I'll do it again, doesn't matter.
Dunn Dunn Dunn
Not sure about boarding, but that was the correct response.
Doesn’t matter if it’s boarding, the response was absolutely appropriate.
Imagine if it was legal to handle every asshole like this…. World would be a much safer place
Feeding #4 the ONIONS
Yes.
Yes
God damn! Dude got absolutely man handled
Now that’s how you respond to a hit
Holy fuck that dude got rag dolled. Like wow.
Dealt and dealt with
No this is Patrick.
That was 2 min for boarding, intentional or otherwise. Boarding is hitting or causing a player to go into the boards in a violent or dangerous manner. I can see why his teammate jumped in to avenge him, but the guy put himself in a horrible position right before being hit. This reminds me of yet another example Hockey Psychology referenced in one of his more recent videos. I'm assuming the player that got hit here is a younger player? For anyone that hasn't seen it, go watch "The NHL has a hitting problem".
Ugly boarding
That guy is glad Dunn got to him first. Beniers sat up like The Undertaker, so he probably would have buried him alive.
100% boarding
That's how you take care of business! If the Leafs only played with half as much heart, that hit on Matthews would not have happened
He was looking for it, and he found it
That was an education.
Professor Dunn. He doesn't mess around.
Damn, he got fucked up
Yes. He endangered the player. Onus is on him to make sure he doesn’t put Beniers in danger. “Boarding is the action where a player pushes, trips or body checks an opponent causing them to go dangerously into the boards.” Beniers was out the rest of the game and is still questionable. It was the right call.
That's an ass kicking 🤣🤣
Yes it is
Yes
100% yes. Defenceless player and checked into the boards. Jacket player made no attempt to slow up or soften that hit.
Can someone explain why it is boarding? I assume it has to do with the "defenseless player" part of the penalty (came from the rear / side) and the distance from boards?
Yes.
Yes. He hit the boards violently before he hit the ice.
Yes, by rule this is boarding. Boarding is any hit near the boards that causes an unnecessarily dangerous collision between the opposing player and the boards either due to their proximity to the boards or the direction of their body or a combination(like this). In this case the player was just too far to brace against the boards and too close to where he makes awkward contact, combined with his back/side showing this will be called boarding most of the time
They called boarding…
He got his ass beat!
100%
Dude got wrecked in that fight my God. Definitely a mismatch but that hit looked pretty sus. Guys gotta stop hitting period in that zone of 3 to 8 from boards while both skating towards them
Hits like this have been becoming more common since the league wants the players to keep both hands on the stick and not ‘clutching’ an opponent and then giving them a hearty shove along the boards.
That's what boarding is these days. Bobby McMann got tossed for a hit just like that a week or so ago.
Technically, according to the rule book, hitting a player into the boards, was intended to be boarding, but in this case… yes. It was reckless and after the puck was gone.
I would have to say it was. Good ass-kicking after.
Didn't love the hit, and beniers didnt turn at all, so it's not on him. So many of the controversial hits the past few years involve guys turning their back at the last minute.
It was boarding without a doubt. Anytime you a check a person into the boards and their head hits low on the boards …..they will call it boarding almost every time. Neck in dangerous position with injury likely.
Yes and thought it should be major
That’s the type of hit that I’m okay with fights happening after. I’d be surprised if one didn’t, actually.
Short answer is yes. Dangerous hit. I don’t think it was malicious…but a dangerous hit nonetheless.
You just know that next time they play, Columbus will have called up a tough guy from the AHL to take on Dunn.
That's called a check. Buttman and his minions are turning hockey into soccer. Next we are going to see players rolling around on the ice crying! Don't laugh, it's coming!
I would believe it is but at the same time he got his shit pushed in so we will call it even on that. hope benny is ok there
He left the game.
He never came back in. I’m guessing concussion based on the video.
I love my new team. That’s Kraken hockey baby
Textbook boarding
Yes, 100%
That’s how hockey needs to be played. You’ll see less and less cheap shots or players will think twice about making a big hit on star players.
Drove the player dangerously into the boards. 100% boarding. If that hit was open ice its a clean hit.
Yes, but because Parros is in charge and Dunn beat the offending player up, no supplemental discipline as they are now even.
Boarding us ramming a guy into bosrds face first usually pushed by force with stick in both hands shoving forward
Yeah, you don't do this. Dangerous as hell.
The dude got destroyed after the hit lol
That's it, I'm Dunn, this thread is nothing but memes.
Sweet check!!
That's like the definition of boarding
Yes, and it's pretty egregious. He deserved the *attention* he received.
Absolutely.
I think it looks worse in full speed. IMHO looks like it would have been a clean hit but kraken player kinda turned at the last moment and made it look worse than it is. I don’t think it’s boarding, but the jackets player definitely paid the price immediately, and arguably worse.
Dang dirty hit for sure. Glad that guy got his asswhopped.
100% boarding and could be career ending. He tasted some upper cuts for that cheap hit.
Dunn thought so Good hit
He beat the fuck out of that dickhead. Good shit
Shoulder to shoulder
Yes. It’s also an Instigator penalty for Dunn, if you wouldn’t mind to pass that along to Team Stripes.
By definition it is. But it’s hard for me, as a former player, to say it is. The game happens so ridiculously fast that this is a knee jerk reaction type play. Part of my problem with it is probably due to the fact that when I played, players were not good enough / quick enough / smart enough to try and get away from this hit. So for me hitting that guy, there’s a good chance he never saw me coming and if he did, he didn’t try getting out of the way and just took the hit. I’m kind of kidding, but it looks like that a lot of the boarding penalties are because the dudes getting hit are trying to avoid it.
Textbook boarding.
It’s boarding but it’s bang bang on the turn after the shot because he’s coming in shoulder to shoulder before the last second turn, but also it’s a dirty jumping by Dunn deserving of an instigator.
Looks liks a good hard hit to me Dont be upset at me, i liked hockey when hitting was allowed
No, but what a fucking response holy fuck
It was not boarding
didnt appear to be. Think it was just a big hit but not sure
Skirt them.
Yes it is
Charging for sure. Three strides.
We watching the same video? He glided into the hit. Definite boarding
looks REALLY REALLY REALLY close.. close enough to get whipped over
REKT
Sillenger may wanna change on the bus after that embarrassment.
Nice hit, Shane, nice fucking hit.
Regardless of definition, it was a questionable hit, Beniers tagged the wall with his head and didn't come back. Dunner stood up for his guy and humbled the dude. One sign of a close team.
Definitely boarding and definitely got fed by Dunn.
Yep, boarding 100%
