This is the hit that everyone has been talking about since last night. I looked at the hit a few times and the appears to be clean but kind of questionable, I think the hit is in the grey area, one could make the argument that it was a head shot, it does appear from the video that Phaneuf lead with his elbow when he hit Okposo. Now on the other end of the hit, Kyle Okposo never, never, never skate with your head down with the puck especially with Dino Phaneuf on the ice. Thank God, that Okposo is ok and was cleared to fly after the hit.

If Lucia had done a better job coaching Kyle would have known to keep his head up! :D
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow! I feel bad for the kid but he did the same thing Lindros did and Stevens saw him coming all the way up the ice.
ReplyDeleteDion Phaneuf excels at doing things that don't involve playing his position, this is just another example. Nice of Giordano to let him face the music on his own too.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that guy didn't get third man in. Or maybe he did because I haven't checked the box score.
