All knee on knee hits are intentional. Standard body checks have the player leading with the shoulder. The leg would never be a point of contact even if the opposing player makes a lateral move. Anyone that doesn’t understand this has never played in a hockey league where checking is legal.
hate seeing knee on knee but it look like cirelli tried sidestep making this hit bad. Unfortunate for Gudas is he have the dirty player rep so he always get blames
You can see Gudas clearly lead with his shoulder, so when Cirelli sees him coming and moves out of the way his momentum takes him into his knee. Not intentionally or dirty, just unfortunate outcome
Take the hit Anthony, we all learned that early on. Get tight to the boards and let the contact happen, 90% of the time you wont get injured. Trying to chicken out when gudas is coming is what caused the knee

Dirty
Cirelli kinda did that to himself. He moved into that one.
Clean
Gudas didn’t stick out his leg, it was more of the move by Cirelli that caused it.
I never liked knee on knee. I would prefer a big body check even if I went flying.
Gudas is such a dirty little bastard. No idea how people still give him the benefit of doubt when hecontinues to injure players.
Knee on knee is not a thing anymore, is it? They dont call it anymore, basically they say drink more milk and have a strong knee
Typical Gudas trying to injure people with dirty hits
