Gotta See It: MacKinnon levelled has Avalanche seeking retribution
Watch as Joe Colborne leaped off the bench to settle a score with Matt Benning after he leveled an unsuspecting Nathan MacKinnon with a massive open-ice hit.
I love hockey but the players need to stop whining when they get a good legal hit on themselves. it's almost universal that if a player gets lit up in football they accept it and move on because that's what the sport is about.
Because its a star player, you protect your stars. Thats just the code, if you dont like the way your star player/rookie was hit, then you drop the gloves. Tf?

Dumb biased announcers
Idiot commentator is biased for the Oilers. He'd be screaming if that happened to Connor.
Pretty clean hit, forearm caught him in the mouth in follow through. Also see why Calgary didnt tender Colborne, guy has been a ghost.
That's what Hockey hits should be like. 100% clean.
Feel bad for a young guy getting it but you got to keep your head up!
I'd shoot myself if I had to listen to that commentator every single game

I don't agree with the commentator that this was "the perfect hit." It was really just a hard shove on a player with his head down.
Why did that cause a scrum? That looked like a perfectly good hit
What a clean hit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not a clean hit him in the head with his elbow
C-L-E-A-N H-I-T
If an Av hits McJesus then an oiler fights said Av and commentator applauds this.
Why can't there be a good hit with out a fight
Matts little brother mike played on my older brothers hockey team 🙂
It has to be defended because thats the code. You dont hit your star players

Aww, the Avs are so cute when they get frustrated. 😂
jesus christ though that was a huge hit. benning is a g.
He was holding his mouth after the hit, left elbow looked to come up.
dang. I've never seen mackinnon get rocked like that
Colbornes just like "HEY, you don't mess with our star player" to Benning
Good hit. BUT, good hits sometimes come with retaliation. Deal with it.
Announcer is 100000000000% right.
Nothing wrong with that hit
Yea no penalty for an elbow to the face guess that we can elbow to the face now
hit to head stupid
The hit that ended the Avs' season.
