More good hockey stuff at http://twitter.com/#!/25stanley Zach Kassian got a game-misconduct for his hit on Senkerik. He did not hit the head of his opponent (according to TSN Pierre McGuire), but he sure went blindside. Sorry for the bad video quality.

  • omg you guys are retarded lmao this is not a dirty hit in the least. Try playing the game yourself, maybe even look into the rules and you'd realize that this is in fact a clean hit. Kassian is 6'3" 226lbs, he has 40 lbs on Senkerik. Of course getting hit full speed by someone of that size is going to hurt. Are you suggesting he should be punished for his size and strength? Give your head a shake, it's clean. It's not bias** it's called the game of hockey.

  • @HK1987 He doesn't even lift his shoulder until after the play, meaning it is not a head check. A head check is when a player makes clear contact with the head (usually by raising their shoulder). I've played for 15 years and reffed for 6. This is a clean hit. There should have been no penalty called, and it is not a head check because he doesn't even lift his shoulder, he is merely a big guy. It's not a matter of opinion, it's fact, based on rules.

  • He didnt even have the freakin puck, a dirty hit for sure. Easily a game-misconduct

  • just a blindside not a dirty hit

  • He wasn´t in control of puck, so u can´t finish your check

  • zasah ramenem protihrace v drzeni puku, cistej hit

  • @jkn0127 Rome got suspended for the entire stanley cup playoffs for similar hit though and his was straight on, not from a possible blind side. So going by previous decision in the NHL it would be viewed as a late/high for anyone just getting into hockey.

  • fucking Canadian ! Yes ! I´m from Czech republic !

  • Not dirty, and i usually think most questionable hits are dirty. Unfortunate the other player got hurt. Everyone that plays the game is aware of the risks going into it though.

  • glad he'll be playing for the east. lol. kassian is gonna be a killer for the sabres. dustin brown milan lucic clone.
