Yeah, I know, you've seen bigger hits, congratulations.
Pretty tame hit. Wouldn’t be worth a highlight reel in the NHL.
Good hit, but nothing earth shattering. Clean too. Bullshit that he got tossed from the game.
Damn! He was out before he hit the ice and then his head bounced off it to make it even worse.
Yeesh. Shoulder to the dome, looked like he was out before he even smashed his head against the ice.
But he was leaning forward with his head down. Skates were on the ice, and glided into the hit.
Ten years ago, solid hockey hit. Today? Tough call.
I know a lot of dudes that would have walked that off.
Fucking beauty hit. Keep your head up.
That was brutal…and the head bouncing off of the ice didn’t help

Clean hit IMO. Players have no responsibility to keep their fuckin head up anymore.
Yeah, it doesn’t get cleaner.
I feel like the refs convened and were like, “well shit Jim, he knocked him out, it MUST have been dirty!”.
total horseshit.
If he gets fined I bet his club pays it. Or should anyway.
I don’t know hockey rules so explain me this…
The guy said there was no contact to the head. But he clearly smashed his mouth/jaw area with his leading shoulder pad.
Does the face not count as “head” contact?

Shoulder was in the upper chest, so face contact was incidental IMO.
He left his feet a little, but he didn’t jump into it.
