Brooks Orpik hits Jeff Skinner with a good open ice hit. Sadly Skinner is injured on the play. It could be his second concussion this year. January 17th 2012.
Bottom line is Orpik never even attempted to play the puck. Therefore it is NOT a clean hit. It's interference. Congrats to those who are too stupid to know the most basic elements of the rule book.
Orpik has a history of questionable hits… Hopefully, the NHL will suspend that POG after their review of his hit on Boyle and his head hunting attempt at St. Louis last night. Thankfully both he and his team are OUT of the playoffs now. He and Ovechin can continue molesting collies all summer.
Unnecessary, could be considered a clean hit, but skinner was defenseless just going for the puck and I'm sure orpik knew he came off a concussion, skinner was probably targeted by the coach or maybe he targeted him himself. He could of easily gotten the puck, but you know, fuck class and sportsmanship! Its all fighting and hits! *que shitty heavy metal music*
Ok, this is why teenagers shouldn't play in the NHL, but Bettman's all about money and doesn't give two shits about rookie safety. Skinner should have at LEAST been playing AHL or back with Kitchener at this point, he just wasn't ready

Nice hit, Orpik!
Sucks Skinner got hurt but you gotta be smarter than that when you're the size of a midget.
Dont mess with Orpik
Shawn Thornton didn't fight Orpik, he cheap shot punched him. It was worse than any hit orpik has given anyone.
I hate seeing a player get hurt but if they play for the Hurricanes, it's ok.
WTF is skinner made of glass or something? the guy gets laid out when he gets sneezed on lol
If this hit was on Crosby or Geno the commentators would be crying their eyes out!
Get rekt skinner
F u orpik :p

shoulder to the face concussion woo rip career
Concussions suck. They legit feel like your going to die
Is it just me, or do the first 2 or 3 seconds look like they're in slow motion?
Skinner was good but he got demolished like that every month, potential ruined.

Poor Jeff, couldn't pirouette outta that one ;(
That skate getting thrown up was the scariest part of the whole thing
So glad Crosby got concussed too!
this was a penalty. orpik had both skates off the ice at the same time while making contact with Skinner. Thats charging.
skinner has no manners … u reach across the dinner table u gonna get a gift #nhl
The fact that penguin fans boo after a player gets hurt shows they have no class
I like Jeff skinner, but he got rocked
As clean as can be…
Beautiful
Jeff Skinless. Brooks killed that punk.
This is interference, head hunting scum
