Dmitry Kulikov illegal check to the head of Conor Sheary – Tough Call Recommendation



Dmitry Kulikov fits exactly the criteria for an illegal check to the head under Rule 48 by hitting Conor Sheary.

  1. As I said previously on this clip: Look where Kulikov is looking, he's not looking for/at the puck, he's aiming at the head the entire time.
    And he gets a phone call with the DPS because of it.
    Edit: And to me, any kind of deliberate non-hockey play that attempts to injure an opponent, by definition, is malicious. 🙂

  2. loose puck 12 feet in front of the net and he's not even looking for it??? The overhead view shows an open corridor to the middle of the goal. Hard to understand any hockey player passing on an easy goal to knock someone down.
