Evander Kane took down Matt Roy in overtime of Game 4. There was no penalty on the play. Tough Call will be reviewing the incident.

Was it a slewfoot? Have your say!

  1. Very unlikely this was intentional as Roy initiated heavy contact. It looked like kane was trying skate around Roy and ended up taking him down by accident. Roy didn’t execute the hit correctly and ended up losing his balance.

    I’ve seen the clip many times and it’s obvious kane was trying to go for the wrap around and set up a pass or shoot. Roy came outta nowhere and tried to deliver a BIG hit and ended up getting embarrassed. Kane was trying to move outta the way. It’s Roy’s fault…

  2. They hit side-to-side, Roy lost his footing. Looks bad, but who's gonna get the upper hand on Kane, lol?

  3. Roy tried to lay Kane into the boards, Roy missed and grazed Kane's back, lost an edge, and went face first into the boards.

  4. I think Roy was going to try and run him into the boards as he brought both arms and stick back and was starting to go forward, but Kane beat him to it and out muscled him while he was off balance.

  5. If ROY wasn't so busy trying to embellish (as every LA player has been told to do in this series, and have succeeded), he wouldn't have put himself at risk of injury and maybe finished his check. Even had the flailing arms and the look back at the ref….LOL. These LA clowns are pathetic.

  6. Kane was moving his momentum with the puck, Roy was moving into Kane and against the movement of Kane and the puck. Maybe a sweep with the elbow to deflect the hit and keep position onto the puck. It was a defensive move if anything. What else could he do? Catch Roy, pick him up and break him over his knee? lol. Roy put himself right in the danger zone and tripped over Kane. A little bit of Hockey Aikido there.

  7. Alright let's start slewfooting people and no suspensions. Gotta love the inconsistencies of the DOPS. No wonder why people want bettman gone. No integrity to the game

  8. I'm a Kings fan and there was nothing wrong with that. Just 2 strong guys going for the puck and Kane was stronger.

  9. that was sweet first time ever say hurray to the referees NHL referees are crap and I'm an Oiler fan

  10. People keep bringing up these hits that don't even exist… the hit on Hathaway was brutal he put his hands on a falling vulnerable player and drove his head into the boards
