Matthew Knies

He didn't look bad after the hit, they made him leave the bench. That hit though, first he gets it in the front of the head, then back when he falls to the ice, pretty scary.

The camera was moving when Benoit jumped in but it looked like Knies was wobbly at the very beginning. Unless my mind was who knows where lol.

I was more talking when he was on the bench and told to go back to the locker.

Coach thinks the hit was clean: Simon Benoit blasts hit on Matthew Knies as Maple Leafs await update; Auston Matthews ‘improving’ | TSN

Head coach Craig Berube took a bit of a different tune when asked about the hit, calling it clean.

"It’s a hockey hit. It’s been around forever… It’s a clean hit. It’s a tough play. He's in a vulnerable position a little bit. The guy was on him from behind and it's a tough play. It is, but it’s hockey. That’s part of the game."

I agree with Berube.

Boudreau's take

He's right. At the very least, it's a two minute minor for charging because he jumped into the check to hit Knies. It's weird to not get that. It was not like Reaves' hit, I don't think, but it's still a penalty. The fact he hit him square in the head because he left his feet should mean something, too, but I'm not shocked there's no supplemental discipline on it.

Assuming he was concussed, that would be his third concussion and he's not even 23?
Was the injury against Bennett in the Florida series not also a concussion?

yes his third, and i mentioned this in the game day thread that he needs more situational awareness and to learn how to avoid avoidable hits at his age and size. i forgot who the player is with all the talent and potential in the world, but could not stop getting concussed. Taylor Hall maybe...
