Doug Weight Hits Brandon Sutter (Concussion)

A very big hit on Hurricanes Brandon Sutter, which I think should be a penalty. Sorry to all my fans for a non-acc topic video, it's just that this is a horrible hit to be legal.
FSN had coverage of this hit.

I think it was clean Sutter just put his head down. It's unfortunate but clean

[tmkc3rd]

its only a high hit because he leans forward to reach for the puck right as hes getting hit, big mistake! luckly he'll be ok, in the future he'll realize that in the NHL you get smoked, not hit. doug weight should not be punished, there is no way he could hold up with that short of notice

[theaccfan]

ik he did duck, which made it more to his head and upper vody, but still, even if it would've hit his shoulder, its a monstorous hit

I felt bad watching this. Poor rookie just scored his first goal. I bet he doesn't remember it.

@wab1988 Dude listen to the announcers. They're right. Sutter was leaning in for the puck. The reason it was a high hit was because he was low to the puck. It's completely legal.

@OELC07 How can he lay off when his momentum is towards Sutter? It's not as easy as you think. Sutter should learn from this and not lean forward to reach the puck.

That was Sutter's fault because he was leaning in to get the puck.

these comentators are clueless!!!

it wasnt a high hit, like the guy bent over so he was half his size, like doug weight even bent down himself to lower the shoulder. completly clean

This hit completely reminded me of Moore's hit on Naslund..

By the "Rulebook" it's clean.. but ugh

Sucks that Sutter had that happen

But he's seemed to have learned from it.

[Chubbsy31]
