@hahn4 R U serious or just stupid? Hitting a defenceless player from behind into the boards is not HOCKEY! Its Definitely a dirty hit! Someone is going to get killed soon!
@hahn4 that doesn't matter. Still a blindside hit on a player whose already engaged and still boarding. People have the misconception that boarding is hitting a guy from behind. That's just not true.
@hahn4 Niedermeyer was facing the boards AND engaged with another player. He moved to his right a fraction of a second before Briere laid down the hit and well after Briere started his "run."
@saurch91 tsn.ca has an explanation why the hits were different in punishment... not surprisingly the main difference was that lucic is huge and brieres small so the end results were much different
Same hit, same night in Boston resulted in Lucic siting for the rest of the night. For old time hockey fans it might be a clean hit... but todays rules say otherwise.
That was satisfying to see.

@Hollywood42 u don't have to hit a guy directly in the back for it to be considered boarding. I dunno how so many people still have the confused.

I wouldn't even say it was an illegal hit. Niedermayer was clearly not facing the boards directly....
