Well the defender left his feet and appears to have hit Lind directly to the head. Pretty dirty hit.

Looked pretty much reaction to a guy cutting across the middle.   Pretty quick "bang-bang" sort of play.   The Dman didn't seem to be head hunting but I agree Lind is in a vulnerable position but I don't think this is a pre-meditated "get him" play - just a kid finishing a check that went badly as Lind put himself in a bad position.   That cutting across like that is a pretty dangerous move if you are not looking up.

Yeah, but if reviewing bodies like the NHL’s DOPS have taught us anything, it’s that frame-by-frame video analysis can tell us exactly what players were thinking and what their intentions were. And that subtle movements and angles over a few hundredths of a second here or there can make a legal hit illegal and vice versa.

 

Basically, we have the technology and expertise required to look at any hit and determine definitively whether it’s clean or dirty.

 

In fact, thanks to DOPS (and all the other experts out there in the Twitterverse), we have the ability to repeatedly look at mirror image examples of the exact same hits and prove that they’re both completely legal “clean hits” and dirty, dangerous plays worthy of suspension.

 

And we can can rest assured that the reviewing bodies will get every ruling “right” by carefully weighing critical data like the reputations and relative importance of the teams/players involved, the mainstream perception of hockey (especially when it comes to the more violent side of the game), actions vs results, league politics, and the PR mandate of the day.

 

Pretty amazing stuff. ;)

While I applaud the hell out of that dman for throwing the body, if that isn't the definition of vulnerable I don't know what is

 

Kole's a tough kid.  He's been hit harder by bigger this year

Looks like a cracking hit... If anyone on our roster threw a hit like that, I'd be screaming for joy. 

Hope Lind is ok though. But damn what a monster hit...

nothing dirty about it

i agree Lind went to the net, opposing D came from the other side of the ice and hit him. It is unfortunate but Kole was looking forward and going to the goal and just didnt see the player coming who hit him.

 

Good news is it doesnt sound like he will be out long

Gonna need a celly competition at future superskills events. Lind and Gaudette will likely be the finalists. Who will take the title remains to be determined. 

I still prefer Boeser’s stoic half-grin. ;)

Dang, we got a lotta RH shots now.
