    Seems like a smart play at development camp…..

  2. ohandleme

    Trolley tracks, clean hit. Hope he learns from it

  3. ESF-hockeeyyy

    Who was the defenseman? Seems like an unnecessary hit for a camp scrimmage.

  4. CanadianCheeseMan

    Seems a bit unnecessary for a scrimmage with fellow teammates.

  5. GoodTimesBadMovies

    It’s development camp wtf. Don’t murder your teammates

  6. tmlfan2

    That’s the type of defensemen we need on the big club, but that’s an unwritten no no in scrimmage.

  7. theflyingburritos

    Free agent invite to development camp trying to make an impact. Just needless

  8. DrSeuss19

    He lined him up but didn’t follow through. Forward just ran into a brick wall

  9. Rowdy_Roddy96

    Jesus Christ…… that was fucking brutal

  10. Always_Complaining1

    Why is it always the useless defensive plugs who make hits like these lol

  11. Swimming-Cry-7111

    He kind of just skated into him with his head down. It looks bad but it could’ve been a lot worse

  12. lbc1358

    I didn’t know Trouba was at Leafs dev camp this season.

  13. fiercelyblazed

    Just like the Big Leafs…No response.

  14. champchampx3

    Dillingham who also got suspended head hunting in the OHL recently.

  15. Always_Complaining1

    Classic. A shitty OHL overager from last year makes this hit.

  16. ohandleme

    If Hirvonen picked his head up at all he would’ve seen this coming. Pretty much ran right into him. This isn’t Europe, you can’t cut across the blue line unaware

  17. PhilMcCraken2001

    I don’t want 33 anywhere near the main roster if this is the type of shit he’s doing during development camp

  18. dwydwy555555

    Coming over the blue line with your head down, even in a scrimmage. The hit was not needed in this setting but keep your head up…

  19. Reminds me of the Patrick Sieloff situation… what’s the point in doing this shit during a scrim with your own teammates

  20. DoublerDoug

    Beautiful hit but not great time … but at the same time keep your head up

  21. -TheWickedEnd-

    Anyone who’s ever played before knows you can throw a hit to knock a guy off the puck and not obliterate him. Terrible seeing that in dev camp… come onnn

  22. mrcarragher

    That’s how you make a name for yourself at a camp he’s trying to progress his hockey career and everybody in the building knows his name now

  23. thesuperbro

    Jeez he murdered that kid

    You know its bad when your stick ends up 20+ feet away from you

  24. rick__c_137

    FFS, he’s your teammate.

    Unnecessary.

  25. Current-Own

    See the Leafs knew what to expect from Dillingham when they invited him to camp. Game rules should have been spoken about during camp. Scrimmage rules sorry. It was a mistake by a kid who’s used to playing this way. Part of the blame has to go to coaching. I hope Roni is ok but he will never do that again. Dilly deserves a break on this one.

  26. LewtedHose

    Make this 144p and you’d think that he mad the hit on a Lightning player. Jesus…

  27. Tiny_Possibility_947

    What in the fuck.

    Its a fucking scrimmage you moron. Get him the fuck out of here. Brain fucking dead move and I’m 100% sure the staff went over this shit. Doesnt even go to check up on his team mate. Get this loser POS out of here.

  28. bravosarah

    How is he doing? Concussion protocol?

  29. Burnt2Smithereens

    Damn hoping Hirvonen can make the jump soon. Kid is good.

  30. Acrobatic_Law5598

    So the coaches will actually love this play.. in a real game he would be praised. Just got carried away but it is a hockey play..

  31. Least_Inspector_1856

    So that guy that delivered the hit needs to be cut immediately

  32. JohnYCanuckEsq

    Pack your shit, three three. You’re done.

  33. Hustler17

    Hate to see it on our own guys but god I wouldn’t mind our guys laying more of those types of hits on the opposition. Get back to 100% quick Roni <3

  34. casualchaos12

    Yeah, you’re not supposed to do that to your teammate.

  35. Kurse83

    When I first saw this i was shocked and disappointed.

    Now after watching it and thinking about it a bit more… I dont fault the defender.

    The last time I saw anything about Hirvonen he was showboating on the goalie… which isn’t nice.

    The defender literally just got in his way… didn’t raise an elbow, didn’t leave his feet… as clean of hit as we will see.

    You can’t expect to dazzle your way through training camp and also expect to not be taken seriously by defenders trying to earn their spot.

    Sucks to see but I don’t fault the defender.

    We have enough players who approach the NHL likes its a shinny hockey league.

  36. light_at_the_end

    Defender tried to ease up, kid had his head down.

    Hate to see it in a scrimmage, because big hits like this shouldn’t be thrown, but people out there trying to make a name for themselves and you better believe they’re gonna remember that.

  37. Far-Comparison-7803

    I was gonna say that was completely unnecessary but tbh they all playing for a NHL contract, getting hit is apart of the game. Hope he makes a speedy recovery tho frfr
