Watch as Aaron Ekblad is caught with his head down as he tries to keep the puck in the offensive zone. Connor McDavid skates right through the Panthers’ player with a huge hit.

Lol low blow or head shot not sure what to call …. he probably shouldn't have thrown the hit and if that would have been Wilson ppl would be screaming for a call
Hockey Gods laugh at this!
lol.. whata bad boy
Clean hit nothing special tho? Whattya expect when a guys plays the puck on his knees 😂
When you’re overrated so you try to get your team going with a cheap hit
KNEES!
insert marchand gets a suspension joke
Great hit!
he was on his knees. lol.
Ouch Mcdavid is hurt?
Not a good image for a star player to be taking guys out when they're vulnerable. If McDavid was on the receiving end of that hit people would say he was being targeted.
Only hits when the guys already down. Good one.
lol, hitting a guy when hes down. nice hit …"huge"
They love McDavid
The way Ekblad is getting tossed around this year sums up the state of Florida's franchise.
I'm pretty sure anyone could "bulldoze" a player who's on his knees. if the roles were reversed people would be screaming for a suspension guaranteed
Pretty cheap, and dangerous. And on a guy who isn't really dirty, and has prior concussion issues. Commendable, McNugget.
And insiders will say it is not dirty because it was mcdavid but like ekblad was on his knees and next to the boards. I suppose as long as he wasnt crushed but still not a very clean hit.
If I’m ekblad I’m dropping the gloves
Also what if that was Crosby everyone would be like reeskegfbskekgb
Tom Wilson would be suspended 20 games if he made this hit
"rare hit". Too true these days
Dirty hit. Puss.
Imagine if this were Wilson 😂😂
Ekblad…
He is doing everything else on that team may as well start hitting too. A guy on his knees is a a funny way to start it though. Has to start somewhere i guess.
Nearly took his head off.. Good hit Conner!! Showing the rest of the league how to make a clean hit!!
You know I was excited to watch this video expecting to see some nice physical play by McDavid, and then I watch and see him just hit a guy already on his knees. Man, what a let down. That was a terrible hit.
Dont hit a guy thats down at his knees, idiot mcdicky
