Ross Colton boarding on Luke Hughes – Tough Call Recommendation
Boardings continue to plague the NHL. Many are quick to blame the victim for not being prepared enough for contact. Why would you prepare for something you aren’t eligible for to begin with?
I don’t think there was malicious intent behind the hit, but man. I get that the play is fast and players are playing hard, but players need to be more careful when hitting in these kinds of situations when approaching the boards. Hits like these can badly injure.

Watch any game and you will see numerous hits in the numbers. Only an issue when someone gets hurt. Refs allow this all the time.
