Johnson tried to dodge the hit and put himself in a bad position to get hit. If he would have just taken the hit nothing would have happened. Neideriter has no history of dirty play and honestly if the wild were the monsters people say we are. Name one other dirty play by anyone on the wild in the last 5 years by anyone not named Cooke. It's not easy because it does not happen.
First Stammer and then Tyler like come on does are center core just have bad luck I was really looking forward to a playoff push but unless Stammer comes back soon it's not looking good but I still got hope
Ah yes and what did we learn this season? There's a reason why Minnesota is at the top, plays like no one even cares to bat an eye at. If that was Gudas or Marchand people would be bitching for weeks. He gets away with so many intent knee on knees its ridiculous.
Other two injuries were just flukes that happen during hockey, this injury was not an intentional dirty hit the wild are not a dirty team besides matt cooke but he's long gone. Niederreiter attempted to lead with his shoulder but missed because johnson was going fast and ended up catching him with his leg trying to slow him down. Not an intention to injure it's hockey please stop calling one of the cleanest teams him hockey dirty.

He hella stuck his leg out

Unlucky situation for both players. Niederrieter obviously doesn't practice hitting, and Johnson couldn't get away in time. Just a messy play overall
Typical tampa fans saying "ref you suck" for no reason
toronto sends their regards
How did 96 not call a penalty on that? He saw it clearly.
oh this comment section is some good cancer :^)
Tyler Johnson might be the next injury prone superstar
Oh wow, the Wild making knee-on-knee hits. What a surprise.
this is not fair anymore 🙁

why just why
Gotta see it: Tampa Bay got no players left to finish game due to injuries!
This game was wild
I dont know what Tampa did to make the Hockey Gods mad, But hot damn theyre pissed at Tampa.
I don't like Tampa Bay but I hope Johnson is alright.
well tampa didn't have a chance at the playoffs anyways
Man, I actually feel bad for Tampa, one game 3 injuries. From a Leaf fan. Not a dirty hit, but unfortunate.
I love it when people say Minnesota is a dirty team. Minnesota has not had a player suspended or fined in three years. I think that speaks for itself.
