I think I remember one time against Ottawa we got penalized for having an illegal player on the ice. We called someone up from Laval, but no one told the NHL. Management and refs figured it out at the same time and we tried to yank him before the refs noticed. They did & we got a penalty.

I can't remember if it was Gauthier or Bergevin era.

He definitely jumps into the hit. It should have been a 5 minute charging penalty.

The NHL doesn't care about head contact when it's a hit from the front like this. Knies had his head down.

They just don't want the blindside hits like with the Nurse hit.

But, regardless, he definitely jumps. His right foot is already lifted and off the ice before contact. He doesn't go through him. He jumps into it to make a high hit.
