Looked like he may of caught some shoulder first regardless hope Toews is okay, hate to see head injuries.

Looks terrible but slowed down it looked clean

So here’s an honest question. Was the head the principal point of contact?
He hit shoulder first but it looks to me a glancing blow followed by major contact with the head.

Clean but brutal hit

Tough play to judge man. When you slow it down it looks like shoulder was first point of contact, and his skates were on the ice until the point of impact. But this play looks scary for Toews. I dunno. I won’t lean either way, just hope Toews is okay. Reminds me of a Raffi Torres hit many moons ago. Think he caught a suspension for it. So there is that.

Absolutely beautiful, clean hit. This is playoff hockey.
Not an expert but I don’t think your head is suppose to make that sound

Am i crazy or are his feet not leaving the ice when he goes for the hit?

Man I hate Jamie Benn. But that was legal .It was actually a textbook great hit, but of course it was that douche who did it.

Hit was clean. Toews faceplanted into the chest of the guy behind him.

Everyone wants to call this “clean” from a hit “major” perspective. Then where is the charging call. I count six strides until the hit and he leaves his skates mid hit.
Charging is the action where a player takes more than two strides or travels an excessive distance to accelerate through a body check for the purpose of punishing the opponent. This includes skating or leaving one’s feet (jumping) into the opponent to deliver a check, accelerating through a check for the purpose of punishing the opponent, or skating a great distance for the purpose of delivering a check with excessive force.

I feel if you come with speed at anybody who doesn’t see you coming. You’re gonna get hurt.

Reminds me of the Brian Campbell/RJ Umberger hit back in the 06 playoffs. Looked awful (not as bad as this looked) but was completely clean

That’s textbook charging by the way

It’s playoff hockey. It wasn’t egregious so no foul.

They suspended Kadri for lesser offenses
Watch the 2nd angle and you’ll see that [the head contact comes from Johnston’s shoulder](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/7Wj8NTK0Fk), after Benn’s hit.
I fucking hate Benn.

“You’ve been derezzed, program”
D-man forgetting which zone he’s in.
Head up, children. This is why.
Did people forget that hockey is a contact sport?
Wow, how did Toews not know that was coming?
