Niklas Hjalmarsson absolutely destroying Karlsson's ankles.

[SenzZen]

Can only imagine the vitriol if Karlsson was in Bergeron's shoes letting Pavelski beat him to the net last night, or Pietrangelo's coughing the puck up before the Kane goal.

But nobody will try to paint those instances as indicative of their abilities.

I remember back in Peewee hockey putting it thru a CHL players legs and being able to go around him at a fun practice and thinking I was the coolest person on the ice. Little did I know at the time he wasn't trying and he wasn't defending me like he would in a game... oh well it left a good memory in my head forever!!!

Hjalmarsson will always remember this too

Karlsson with the play of the night against Finland, with an open ice hit that lead to a beatiful counterattack, where Hörnqvist sniped it on Rask.

But Karlsson can't play defense and can't hit, huh? It was only an exhibition game, much less important than a drill in practice.

Pretty sure I have never seen a more devastating inside/out ankle breaking. Anyone have .gif's of events like this?

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

see that's impressive cause its a game... Klingberg also did an ankle breaker last year on the blue line too during the game that was real impressive

wow a picture. That about settles it. Karlsson is a bruiser.

Not to mention its against the man child David Desharnais lol.

Why are you so objective? Karlsson can't ever be good on defense.

Much worse, it wasn't even a drill haha it was between one just to have fun
