Scottie Upshall huge hit - April 26, 2009 (TSN)

Scottie Upshall lays a huge hit on Andras Benk in Canada's game against Hungary at the 2009 World Championship. Upshall received 5 minutes and a match penalty (recorded as a total 25 PIM by IIHF rules) for "checking to the head and neck area." The match penalty means that Upshall is automatically disqualified for Canada's next game (Slovakia, April 28).

@TheQneb in fact András Benk is professional, like all of the players in Team Hungary. Of course, they don't earn like NHL players.

@BBKLB47 yep, well deserved suspension. commentator got it right, should be charging penalty.

[tobinbryan]

clean hit yes but def charging

@sriraqistan He got his head down so why didn´t upshall hit him clean? Ass face

[TheQneb]

It was clean but the game was 4-0 can against hun.. thats why it deserved a penalty. That player who got hit is just ordinnary workmen, or "gona-ukko" as we say in finland..probably he even aint professional.. is that hungary?
