  1. Sestito didnt leave his feet so what was wrong with the hit? all i see is both there hands come up.

  2. Horton hit was blind side,kelly hit was high and blind side, kampfer hit philly player launched off his feet.fucking raffe torres style.

  3. AND none of these were illegal! If you actually watch closely, you can see that none of them targeted the head. Oh and also, in case anybody forgot, on the first hit by Sestito, he lost a tooth cause the defenseman high-sticked him in the mouth. Congrats on being a Boston fan. Go back and watch some of your own highlights before criticizing other teams

  4. He left his feet on the first hit – which is okay if they come up upon contact. No slo-mo, but it looks to me like he left early.

  5. the first one is clean, he shoves his chest with his hands so clearly not illegal, and his feet left after contact. the second one was dirty, and the third one was clean. hartsy got his shoulder with his shoulder, so your video is irrelevant

  6. Take the head off of anyone who plays for Boston and no one will care! Jack Edwards should know a high hit when he sees one cause he is used to watching Boston play all the time

  7. Kelly was staring at the ice practically? head down….99.9% of the time that doesn't end well. Not a high hit at all, shoulder to shoulder anyway?

  8. the first hit was a simple hockey play he barely got him at all nothing wrong with that.  2nd play with Sestito.  Okay…that one you can argue a bit that was a blindside shot 3rd one no puck was still in play shoulder hit by hartnell to the center of kelly clean hit.

  9. Everyone says that Boston is a cheap team look at all the cheap shots the Flyers have delivered over the years.

  10. Watched this three times…. Nothing wrong with any of these hits. The one on Horton might have been a tick late, but not high at all. The hit on Kelly was shoulder to shoulder on a guy playing the puck, and the first one was nothing….If it were the Bruins hitting the Flyers like that, the announcers would love it.

  11. What a joke this is. Bruins fans are really posting legal hits against them and complaining? What a bunch of pussies Bruins fans have become. If the hits happened the other way you would be standing up cheering and screaming you effn tools

  12. Bruins commentators are biased as fuck. Why is this not the legendary commentary team of the flyers. I can't stand the Bruins or their dumbass fans

  13. 2nd hit may have been a touch late but it's pretty close. Nothing else wrong with these hits other than the stick up high from the Bruin on the first hit.
