Andrei Kostitsyn hit to the head against Viktor Tikhonov

I'm honestly surprised it only was a 2+10. A blindsider to the head, borderline interference. Let's hope he gets suspended for a year.

At least a 5, absolutely suspendable imho. Head is not only principle piont of contact but also only point of contact. Wouldve been easy to adjust that check to hit the body and still lay Tikhonov out.

Interference, no, i think thats a legit play had the hit been clean.

Wow. Thats a five every day.

Pretty bad as he lifts his legs and jumps into the shoulder and head.
And also keep your head up Tikhonov.

Always looks worse in super slow mo. Wouldn't consider it a blindside hit and it's not even in the same galaxy as interference. Classic case of a guy getting caught with his head down.

I was surprised that it wasn't a 5+20 aswell. Kostitsyn should be suspended no doubt, very reckless play on his part.
