Ilya Lyubushkin fights Bobby McMann after his dangerous hit against Mintyukov (3 jan 2024)

FROM THE GOAL LINE NOW, WE SAW CONNOR McDAVID BANK ONE OFF THE GOALTENDERS HEAD. TREVOR ZEGRAS HAS TRIED THAT. RUN INTO THE BOARDS BY BOBBY McMAHON AND IN HE COMES BECAUSE HE IS STILL DOWN. AND HE DROPS THE MITTS WITH McMANN. McMAHON, I BEG YOUR PARDON. AND McMAHON KNEW IT WAS COMING

AND THEY TUMBLED TO THE ICE. WILL SEE WHAT COMES WITH THIS BUT RIGHT NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT HELP OF YOUNG — HEALTH OF YOUNG MINTYUKOV. THAT DIDN’T LOOK GOOD. >> IT DID NOT. AS YOU CAN SEE IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS CUT SO I DON’T KNOW IF HIS

HEAD MIGHT HAVE HIT THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD. WE WILL HAVE A LOOK AT IT HERE. HERE’S THE HIT. HE IS IN THAT DANGER ZONE. WATCH THOSE HEAD HITS, RIGHT ON TOP. ON THE TOP OF THE BOARD, AND THAT DOES NOT LOOK GOOD, HE TRIED TO BRACE HIMSELF WITH HIS

HANDS BUT HE COULDN’T ABSORB ALL OF THE PRESSURE OF THE BOARDS AND HIS FACE TOOK QUITE A POP THERE. >> SO HE CAME TO THE AID OF HIS DEFENSE PARTNER AND THE DUCKS ARE DOWN TWO DEFENSEMAN, AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE WHILE HERE, AS WE GET ANOTHER LOOK.

>> HERE’S ANOTHER LOOK AT IT, GETS IT UP AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER — IT WASN’T WHAT I WOULD CALL A LATE HIT, QUITE HONESTLY. BUT IT’S A — HE GETS THE SHOULDER INTO HIM AND HE JUST GETS KNOCKED OFF BALANCE AND BOY, OH, BOY, THAT LOOKS BAD. WE HOPE THAT HE’S OKAY.

>> I DIDN’T HEAR THE INITIAL CALL BUT THE OFFICIALS ARE TAKING A LOOK AT THE iPAD NOW, SO I BELIEVE PERHAPS FOR THE MOMENT DID THEY CALL A MAJOR SO THAT THEY COULD REVIEW IT? >> THEY DIDN’T MAKE ANY KIND OF AN ANNOUNCEMENT DOWN AT ICE LEVEL. >> REFEREES FOR TONIGHT’S GAME

ARE JON McISAAC AND — YOU SEE THEM REVIEWING THE HIT THERE. LINESMAN CJ MURRAY AND — >> IT LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT’VE BEEN CUT ON THAT CHEEK AS HE WENT TO THE LOCKER ROOM AND SO I’M SURE THE REFEREE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WASN’T A STICK

OR AN ELBOW THAT CREATED THAT CUT. IT LOOKED TO ME LIKE THE CUT WAS CREATED BY THE TOP OF THE DASHER BOARD. WE WILL HAVE ONE MORE LOOK AT IT AND, YOU KNOW, 322 HAS THE PUCK, HE’S TRYING TO MAKE A SIMPLE PLAY BUT THAT 7-10 FEET AWAY

FROM THE BOARDS WHEN YOU GET RUN INTO THE BOARDS, IT IS SUCH A VULNERABLE AREA, IT’S LIKE GETTING HIT TWICE, YOU GET HIT BY THE CONTACT AND THEN ONCE AGAIN YOU RUN INTO THE BOARDS. BUT THE DUCKS ARE GOING TO BE DOWN TO FIVE DEFENSEMAN, AND THAT’S SIGNIFICANT AT THIS STAGE

OF THE GAME. >> THEY ARE DOWN TO FOUR BECAUSE LYUBUSHKIN CAME OVER AND GOT INTO AN ALTERCATION SO AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT 5 MINUTES OR UNTIL MINTYUKOV COMES BACK, THEY ONLY HAVE FOUR BLUE LINERS. >> YET TO MAKE ANY KIND OF AN ANNOUNCEMENT. HERE WE GO. >> 74 TORONTO ASSESSED A

FIVE-MINUTE MAJOR. 5 MINUTES FOR FIGHTING. 46 ANAHEIM IS ASSESSED A TWO MINUTE PENALTY FOR INSTIGATING, FIVE FOR FIGHTING, AND A TEN-MINUTE MISCONDUCT. >> SO THEY LOST HIM FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES, SHELDON KEEFE HAS LOST BOBBY McMAHON FOR THE REST OF THE GAME AND IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF WE SEE MINTYUKOV

AGAIN TONIGHT. ALL OF THIS AT THE 6:37 MARK OF THE SECOND PERIOD. >> THAT’S NOT A BIG LOSS FOR THE LEAFS. McMAHON DOESN’T PLAY A WHOLE LOT FOR THEM, HE’S A FOURTH LINE LEFT WING. THE BIGGER LOSS IS THAT SUFFERED BY ANAHEIM. BECAUSE MINTYUKOV WAS HAVING A GREAT ROOKIE SEASON.

YOU JUST HOPE THAT HE’S OKAY AND IT’S NOT GOING TO BE ANYTHING LONG TERM. I DON’T MEAN TO BE UNCARING, BUT I WAS ACTUALLY HAPPY TO SEE
