Othman with a late blindside hit on Wotherspoon. They would later drop the gloves and Wotherspoon would get his revenge. Hockey is back!

Not the worst but the puck is clearly nowhere in the area code.

Trouba legacy ?

Dirty? I guess I was expecting a headshot or something worse.

I'd say late as hell blindside hit is pretty dirty, even if he doesn't decapitate anyone.

Interference at best, a missed penalty call.

In the AHL?

 

[SnS]

Such a dirty hit for no reason whatsoever.

That was not dirty. But definitely a late hit.

Lmao what? Trouba had like 20 worse hits than this one last yr. And I usually condemn dirty plays more than other fans. This is a clean hit by the rulebook.

How is hitting an ineligible player clean by the rulebook?

If it's late, it's by definition dirty. There is no such thing as a clean late hit.

Technically its not a clean hit, because the puck wasnt even near him.

He looked like he wanted no part of that fight.

This. Pretty black and white and I dont see why people think there is 50 shades of grey here. If the hit is late its against the rules and therefore not clean.

What an embarrassing thread. Trolling starting early this year by Isles fans I see.
