Good for Hischier to stand up for his teammate. That’s the kind of thing that earns you respect amongst your peers. Not every day you see a #1 overall pick react that way.
Is giving a push and chirping really stepping up though? Gotta see some gloves drop next time👀 haha but no I'm excited to see how both Patrick and Hischier develop. May not be another McDavid or Matthews but both franchises definitely got a nice key player out of the draft
Nico is officially my favorite player on the team i had seats 3 rows in at this game and i tell u people were mad to the point of threatening the avalanches player
Sisu Saivosalmi palmieri only moved his upper half to the boards but left his knee out I think that's a ridiculous call by the refs it was clearly Palmieri's fault
Looked unintentional by Johnson as it looked he was going for the hip check. Just an unfortunate result that caused an injury. I could be wrong though...
Definitely not intentional. You can see on the replay that he was clearly trying to hit him with his shoulder/forearm (you see him follow through even though he didn’t make contact)
Kyle Palmeiri is a game-time decision for the next game. As for Nico Hischier, good for him to do what he did and also smart enough to not take a penalty to negate the power play.
TBF the title is kind of click bait... I don't think Johnston meant to target his knee... You can clearly see he went for the shoulder check and last second Palmieri tried to get out of the way... Lesson learned: just take the hit.
@@newjerseydevilsfan5003Halifax moose heads, they are a team in the Quebec Major Junior hockey league which is a division in the Canadian hockey league. Nico played in the QMJHL with the Mooseheads before he was a devil
Had Palmieri just taken the shoulder hit and not tried to get out of the way he'd of avoided having the knee-on-knee hit. It was just meant to be a regular shoulder hit and the resulting knee contact was unintentional.
2 minutes wtf ref, it simple enough, if an illegal action caused an injury, it's a five minute major. Not rocket science. More people should knee stars like Palmieri and Ovechkin because apparently taking a guy out for the game is only worth 2 minutes. Bullshit.
Matty Lubach Ah, the old "if i just say it enough times it will be true" method of debate. My turn... it's... clearly the resurrection of Tom Petty. Its clearly the resurrection of Tom Petty. There, I said it twice so it HAS to be true. State law. Everyone should thank Erik Johnson for resurrecting Tom Petty (said it a third time so it's super duper true).
That's on Palmieri for trying to dodge the hit. Johnson's knee was even pointing inwards. You honestly think a guy like Johnson who nearly had his career ruined due to an injured knee would risk this?
Keith Juros actually yes... palmieri only moved his upper half of his body to the boards, if he would have brought his lower body to the boards too then there wouldn't be any knee on knee contact
Good for Hischier to stand up for his teammate. That’s the kind of thing that earns you respect amongst your peers. Not every day you see a #1 overall pick react that way.
Well we did just see the #2 pick do it a week or two ago after his teammate got cross checked in the helmetless head a few times.
Zach Montminy Well Patrick is bigger and stronger so i think Hischier stepping up is more of a big deal
Is giving a push and chirping really stepping up though? Gotta see some gloves drop next time👀 haha but no I'm excited to see how both Patrick and Hischier develop. May not be another McDavid or Matthews but both franchises definitely got a nice key player out of the draft
Zachary O'Neill for once a good classy Philadelphia fan
Matthew 18 I try to break the stereotype as often as possible thank you😂
Two stars sticking up for their players, true hockey players
Hischier was very good this game. Scoreboard may have not shown it, but he applied lots of pressure and had some great chances.
Atta boy Nico! Loved the team’s performance today!
Atta boy Johnson, Palmieri deserved that
Nice to stand up for a mate. What is remarkable, is that Hischier is the first to notice the situation. Situational awareness : hockey IQ.
Im becoming a fan of nico, he seems like a smart player and i think he is in the perfect situation to excel
the fact that hischier didn't score today is crazy. He's the real deal
James Neal is the real deal
Nico is officially my favorite player on the team i had seats 3 rows in at this game and i tell u people were mad to the point of threatening the avalanches player
vincent fontanez dayyyum
vincent fontanez Nico is a beast. I got to watch him all last season in Halifax.
Pretty rare for a first round pick to stick up for his team mate. Kudos Nico.
Today we qualified for the playoffs and I look back to this moment and realize it is the strong brotherhood of a new team that has brought us here
Johnson, Hischier, and Hall are all #1 overall picks.
Nico and Nolan may not be as talented but sure are alot tougher than Matthews, Laine, Eichel and Mcdavid
Kyle Broflovski not same talented? Lol Nico was first and he had better season than Steven Stamkos when he had rookie season
Lmao no
are you kidding me devils must be cursed with all theses injuries
Labonté Jacob ikr LGD
What show of class
You can clearly see him attempting to make contact on the shoulder only. Bad luck.
Meat Dragon yeah he was attempting but he was never going to hit the shoulder his lane was wrong the whole time
Sisu Saivosalmi palmieri only moved his upper half to the boards but left his knee out I think that's a ridiculous call by the refs it was clearly Palmieri's fault
It's like turning your back. It's still the one giving the hits fault
Robinson Joe I agree especially with minor hockey cause it mainly started as rule to have whiny parents shut up
Brian Cole absolutely but it's still a stupid play for the guy about to have a broken leg or neck haha
You earned respect from me nico
Looked unintentional by Johnson as it looked he was going for the hip check. Just an unfortunate result that caused an injury.
I could be wrong though...
Definitely not intentional. You can see on the replay that he was clearly trying to hit him with his shoulder/forearm (you see him follow through even though he didn’t make contact)
ApeHead Yeah I agree. I don’t see it as a dirty hit, just an unfortunate chain of events.
Palmieri tryed to avoid the hit which made the guy miss and hit him with his knee. Palmieri should've just taken the hit
Oskari Vaaranvuo Yeah it seems whenever a player does that, it makes it worse on himself.
Nico is up there as the young stars with McDavid and Matthews
matt13r1 maybe
Nick Chambers I think he is. After 1 game he showed his toughness and his great skills
matt13r1 I got to watch him all last season in Halifax. He's not McDavid or Matthews.
Nick Chambers But he is good and a Franchise Player.
matt13r1 franchise is pushing it
Kyle Palmeiri is a game-time decision for the next game. As for Nico Hischier, good for him to do what he did and also smart enough to not take a penalty to negate the power play.
take the hit shoulder on shoulder. When you try to avoid it you automatically get a knee cap explosion.
gee thanks mr ref troll
Thanks for the advice coach I only got dropped 20 times in one game.
Nice Nico
Good job Nico !!
I like him already.
Halis proud of Hischeir
3 first overalls going at it
TBF the title is kind of click bait... I don't think Johnston meant to target his knee... You can clearly see he went for the shoulder check and last second Palmieri tried to get out of the way... Lesson learned: just take the hit.

Atta boy Nico. Missing you in Halifax.
What's Halifax??
@@newjerseydevilsfan5003Halifax moose heads, they are a team in the Quebec Major Junior hockey league which is a division in the Canadian hockey league. Nico played in the QMJHL with the Mooseheads before he was a devil
Thatta boy Nico
Didn't look intentional
Nicos a beast only 18 year old
battle of the first overalls
This was the first game like
Had Palmieri just taken the shoulder hit and not tried to get out of the way he'd of avoided having the knee-on-knee hit. It was just meant to be a regular shoulder hit and the resulting knee contact was unintentional.
That should spark a fight, not pushing with gloves on.
Hichier is so small compared to other players xd
Ferbeljag 16
He's only 18 he could get bigger but he is pretty tiny lol.
You do know he is 6'1, right? xD
Hischier is a goon! Lmao
nico is the ideal devil
That's just an unfortunate hit... Kyle just moved
Unintentional but still a penalty. From behind the Devils player it looks worse than the other looks and that's where Hall and Hischier were.
Let's go AVS
clean hit
2 minutes wtf ref, it simple enough, if an illegal action caused an injury, it's a five minute major. Not rocket science. More people should knee stars like Palmieri and Ovechkin because apparently taking a guy out for the game is only worth 2 minutes. Bullshit.
Joey shouldn't have been a penalty at all actually
Hischier > mcdavid. Hands down
Dwight Schrute what are you smoking?
HischierNet
BrokenByChange that's it
Nick Chambers funny dog
Scott Steven’s never played dirty tho
No of course not 😵
Captain
Dirty hit. Good job nico standing up
Matty Lubach clean hit
Avery B I think ur blind Helen Keller
Matty Lubach Ah, the old "if i just say it enough times it will be true" method of debate. My turn... it's... clearly the resurrection of Tom Petty. Its clearly the resurrection of Tom Petty. There, I said it twice so it HAS to be true. State law. Everyone should thank Erik Johnson for resurrecting Tom Petty (said it a third time so it's super duper true).
Johnson went full Marchand
Crick Nompton not even close. March and is dirty and intentional. This doesn't look dirty or intentional😉
Crick Nompton yep no doubt
Not even close...
Go Avs Go
His own fault.
Palamari try to avoid the hit by Johnson that lead to the bad collision of knee on knee contact. Johnson was going for a Clean solid hit .
Hall is about as good a fighter as Charlie Zelenoff.
I do not believe this is dirty or intentional. Just bad luck....
It wasn’t even intentional lmao.
doesnt matter, dont leave the your leg hanging out like it was
That's on Palmieri for trying to dodge the hit. Johnson's knee was even pointing inwards. You honestly think a guy like Johnson who nearly had his career ruined due to an injured knee would risk this?
you must be wack Palmieri is along the boards Johnson intentional wide stance to make knee on knee
doesn't matter.
you NEVER EVVVA let a team mate get hurt and do nothing.. (unless its a blocked shot) - NHL Team Rule #1
Clean hit by Erik Johnson.
New Avalanche jerseys are lit
Kyle Plamieri deserved that, he sucks. Great job ERIK JOHNSON
Dirty
He didn’t miss the hit haha palmari made his knee a target when dodging the check
This is a joke that he avoids contact and gets hurt for it
All Palmieri's fault. Jersey fans need to get over themselves.
The Devils player has is leg way out... really he's at least as at fault for the knee on knee as the other guy
He did nothing.
New Jersey’s not a hockey town
Cleanest hit I've seen in a long time. His own fault for pussying out. Should'nt even be 2 min.
Mani Edit lol
edgy
I just lost brain cells
You're telling me palmeri is in the wrong for attempting to avoid the hit and move to with the play
Keith Juros actually yes... palmieri only moved his upper half of his body to the boards, if he would have brought his lower body to the boards too then there wouldn't be any knee on knee contact
Nico + Nolan > Auston + Patrik
woodencan lol
woodencan Are you high?
woodencan id rather have auston or laine by themselves instead of nico and nolan combined
Austin Watson and Patrick Wiercioch?
Lol is this bait? You think that two future second liners are better than two future franchise players?
