So, a somewhat late hit on a guy that didn't have the puck anymore and a win in a fight against a dude that's 7 inches shorter and 30 pounds lighter... Can't say that I'm impressed. Don't get me wrong; I don't dislike Tinordi, but he'll have to prove that he can do that against full-grown men in a professional league before I get excited by this (or the odd man-child in junior ala Zach Kassian).

Late hit? the guy just passed the puck, the hit was perfect timing and he used his shoulder cleanly no dirty elbow or nothing. Can he be left to grow into his body for two more seasons, then he'll be doing the same to NHL men. This guy needs to pack on another 10-25 pounds and he'll make opposing forwards tentative in entering the offensive zone.
Edit: You can see Corrado grabbing towards linesman to get in and save him. Kudos to Corrado as he pulled a Gorges and stuck up for his team mate but the play was clean so really it's one of those jumping a guy that gave a good hit deal.

The hit was not late. Count the seconds between the time the puck leaves the guy's stick and when contact is made. One second? One and a quarter?
The guy he fought chose to fight him. It's not like Tinordi said, "Hey a small guy, let's go!" He took exception to an opposing player answering the bell and he fought him, much like Malone did with Gorges last night.
And at Tinordi pummeling the helmet off the guy's head. That sucker just popped right off.

Let just say that the hit was impressive. Good timing, not to the head, solid and timely hit.
But people the fight....there's nothing to it. He took a 6'0'' already bad fighter into a ragdoll....okay....That's just like saying Ryan Malone is an awesome fighter just because he ate Gorges alive....
I think that what we have to love reading is a tweet I read about Tinordi looking incredibly composed and with a lot of poise. THAT's crucial this year. Don't care how many points he gets, but he needs to DOMINATE defensively. Nothing less.
Just hope that the ones excited by this are not the same ones who are mentioning that our Habs are perfect as it is....Personnally, I can't wait to see Tinordi doing that with us...along with 5 or 6 others.
It's not a late hit, but it could be called charging. His feet left the ice, though the 'laws of physics' apply here as well. Checked the slowmo a couple of times, difficult to say. Nonetheless, sure seems like a tough guy.
Edit --> I'd need clarification on that Charging Rule... Is it simply before the hit or at the time of the hit or during hahaha!

That's why I said somewhat. It's a legal, but it's not a useful hockey play, because the guy has already completed his pass. It's dishing out the pain, ans while I like seeing that, he could've been watching the guy hanging behind for a breakaway instead. Had that guy scored, the hit would've been useless. And again, I dearly hope that he does this to NHL players eventually, but this video doesn't get me too excited.

Exactly, I never doubted that Tinordi could pummel junior players, but what I want to hear is that he's making strides in his defensive game.

You do know that figure skating is a completely different sport right ? There is now way that you are a true blue hockey fan, it's impossible.

I enjoyed the hit, but looking at it objectively, it doesn't get me excited about his NHL future. Like WS said, hearing that he's making strides defensively interests me more than this. Ryan O'Byrne used to dish out hits like no other in college, but that part of his game has not translated to the NHL yet. A strong understanding of the game on the defensive side of the ice translates much better. I want our 2010 1st round pick to become more than an enforcer.
That hit was borderline late, but not really, I think it was a fair amount of time. Does the elbow make contact with the head or the chest? I can't tell.
I believe it was a clean hit. Contact was made not even a second after the puck was passed (look at the time, pass made and hit made all at 10 second mark). Also the hit was clean, Tinordi shoulder into chest of Racino. I sure like seeing him play physical, got to do it at all levels to be able to do it at all levels!

Ok good. I couldn't really tell if it made contact with the head.
