Jon Kalinski drills Christian Hanson

Big borderline hit in a preseason game between the Philadelphia Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday, September 23rd, 2010 at the John Labatt Centre in London, Ontario. I wouldn't have called a penalty here, it is close though.

that wasnt even close to a blindside hit or an elbow if anything he left his feet

@firemage195 ignore the announcers

Its blindside but it appears to be shoulder to chest. two minute minor is the right call.

@sammysono0 thats not a blindside, the only thing i see that it could possibly be is a charge for leaving his feet, though form one angle it looks liek he does and the other it doesn't but neither seems conclusive. and a blindside hit isn't an automatic penalty, there was another one earlier in this game by rinaldo i believe and it wasn't called.

hahaha couldnt even stand up straight after that one

@scumatron I don't think I am, really. But after looking it more closely, it could be 2 minutes for charging. There's no elbow, nor is it a "blindsight-hit" in illegal way.

[scumatron]

@urho88 well then, ur obviously a dumbass.

This hit was just about everything the commentators said it wasn't. A good clean hit.
