Minnesota fan-favorite Cal Clutterbuck suffered a leg injury after a questionable open-ice hit by Taylor Hall.

  1. Even as a Wild fan I don't think the hit was intentional. I agree that it looks like he was going for a check, was out of position, and the only penalty I could see was Interference. Regardless I hope Clutter is ok and it's only the thigh contusion and nothing more serious.

  2. I don't think it was intentionally knee on knee, however, the hit happened to land leg on leg, and the two games he got for the hit is understandable.

    Watching the clip, I personally think a lot of the responsibility of this hit was on Clutterbuck, for watching his pass instead of the guy coming at him. Hall lowered his shoulder for the hit, Clutterbuck's upper body simply missed Hall's upper body. Also, Hall threw the hip into the hit as well.

    Clutterbuck should have taken the hit correctly

  3. this is what needs to be taken out of todays game fuck head shots half the time the guy puts him self in that position. leading with a knee… really they should have given him more than they did

  4. While I agree Hall's cheap shot may not have been intentional, he did it. Cal had no way to avoid it. Lucky for Hall, he has no history of this and hopefully no more. A 2 game suspension is justified therefore. As for Clutterbuck's hits, he gets in the most in the league, but they are not cheap shots like this one. Get well soon and hurry back when you are ready Cal!

  5. Looked like an intentionally dangerous hit by Hall but he certainly did not put the knee out; it was more of a low hip check making contact. Dangerous and should be reviewable for suspension but I have little sympathy for Clutterbuck who is a cheapshot artist himself. What goes around comes around and Clutterbuck got of mildly in this case.

  6. Why is everyone defending Hall. Clutterbuck never even played the puck , should not have been expecting a hit at all. 10 games would send a message

  7. Mind listing these cheapshots by Clutterbuck? I am sure you can fit every single one of them in your 500 character limit. Even if you double space between each character.

  8. hahahah the sportsnet douch so lost in his love for hall.. how didnt hall get suspended for this? or did he
