Watch: Jeannot's Head Hit on Boeser - A Rough Night in the NHL
Let's face it, hockey can be a rough sport. Sometimes, things get a little too heated and players end up on the wrong side of a big hit. This is exactly what happened in a recent game when Ryan Reaves delivered a huge hit on Brandon Boeser.
Now, you might be thinking, "Wait, why is everyone talking about Jeannot's head?" Well, that's where things get a little tricky. You see, the hit happened during a game between the St. Louis Blues and the Vancouver Canucks. Now, Reaves wasn't playing for the Blues, so why is everyone so worked up about this?
The Play and Its Aftermath
Well, it seems the hit itself wasn't the real issue. It was the way Boeser reacted to the hit. He went down hard, holding his head. The commentators and the crowd were quick to point out that Boeser might have been injured, and Reaves could be in trouble for a high-stick, or a dangerous hit.
The Controversy Begins
The real fireworks started when Jeannot (a player for the Blues) seemed to get upset about the way Boeser was acting. He even shoved Boeser a bit, prompting a bit of a scuffle between the two teams. But things really went off the rails when Boeser started yelling at Jeannot "You're going to get your teeth knocked out! You're going to get your teeth knocked out!"
The Twitterverse Explodes
Naturally, all of this went viral on social media. People were debating the penalty on Reaves, the reaction from Boeser, and the aggressive language from both players. The NHL is known for its physicality and intense competition, but this incident really seemed to touch a nerve with fans.
What Happens Next?
So, where does this leave us? Well, the NHL is still reviewing the play, and we're all waiting to see what kind of punishment Reaves will receive. But one thing's for sure, this play is going to be talked about for a long time, and it's a reminder that even in a sport as thrilling as hockey, things can get out of hand pretty quickly.
