Smith had to be 'that guy' what did he expect? Anyway, he leaned into Bedards face with his shoulder? I get it good hit but the guys like 18. The fights these days with the helmets on, what the hell is even that?
Mostly bedard ran into smith, smith may have lifted his shoulder a little but not in a malicious way. Hitting is part of hockey, so not sure what the fighting is about.
The entire clean hit was set up from the stupid drop pass play that caused a total mismatch in speed entering the zone. Clean hit, good fight , case closed .
Great video and coverage of this, Foligno is last of a dying breed. Who wouldn’t want this guy on their team – No one more deserving of the A on their jersey
This is what I don’t understand; people complaining that the league is going soft yet there were multiple fights in this game? No matter what sport it is, if the top player gets drilled (clean or dirty) there’s going to be some type of retaliation. Players fighting after a clean hit on their star player does not indicate that the league is soft — it’s a statement move. The league will have gone soft if there is no retaliation or fighting after any massive hit. Good clean hit and a handful of scruffs throughout the game, I do not understand the complaining.
Foligno always fighting guys for doing nothing wrong… I guess next time smith has to let Conor walk right down Main Street for a breakaway he even let up on the hit… and to the announcer smith is not a heavy weight in the league he's in the class below the legit heavyweights
Clean hit, great protection from Chicago veterans. Don't touch the money maker or you're going to have a long night. Exactly how the game should be played on both sides.

Clean hit but Smith always walks on the edge.

clean hit. unfortunate. Bedard is an exciting player that fans want to see play. let's hope he's back asap.

Smith got his ass kicked. I’ll be sure to tip smith when he carries my groceries out of Kroger.
Clean hit but good response from Blackhawks
This was far from a big hit, he skated right into it. Want all the hype , accept all aspects of the Game
