Wow. There are so many reasons that hit was illegal. 20 games is pretty understandable. Charging - player was still striding as he came in to hit him (big no). Interference - player missed the puck entirely therefore making this hit illegal without the other infractions. Elbowing - clear elbow to the jaw. Not to mention he left his feet to hit him which is also a big no and not necessary considering the size difference and speed differential. Clearly a hit with an intent to injure.

@ ppghflyguy. Have you ever heard of charging or checking to the head. Both could be called here, but checking to the head or neck is a new rule asnd thats what happened. Look at Sidney Crosby and see what can happen if you get checked near the head? It could cost a career. 20 games games lok much, but what could have happenend to the career of player who got hit? These checks should be banned and plasyers who don't care should be punished hard so they will never do this again.

I love watching these kinda hits. But then again, I am also the guy who was kicked out of his hockey league because I enjoy injuring other players, fuck man I swung my stick at some guys head like an ax.

The New Matt Cooke, since the Penguins drafted him...

Did the guy get a injury?

@Hcorehockey Your an idiot. Just because Murphy was low doesn't excuse the fact that he elbowed him in the jaw. It's still an elbow.

@Mertius1 ah ok

to all the people that are ripping into this guy for a "dirty" hit i'd like to hear what he should have done, he didnt jump, he coasts from the other side of the goaline, and he tucked his elbows in, was he just supposed to give Murphy a free pass?

[R2JUGGERNATE]

ok.. first off, I'm not saying that I like this hit, but it really irritates me to see people not knowing what the rules are.. yes, this hit was a charge due to the lack of coast leading up to the hit.. however, the top 2 comments are wrong about everything else.. not Interference- since the player makes a deliberate attempt at playing the puck, he is free game to recieve a body check.. not Elbowing- if the arms are tight to the body and no elbow is extended, it's not elbowing.. continued->
