Whitecloud didnt leave his feet, what you are seeing is physics in motion, whitecloud crashes into a moving player, so the force of the hit cause knies to get flattened, while the same force of the hit, pushes him back and minimally into the air, after contact

Its because it was a clean hockey hit, the game is not played in slo-mo. Full speed this is not targeting, this is called laying a massive body check.
It was tip toeing on the line but it appears the initial contact was to the chest.
Skating with the head down. Welcome to the NHL
Clean all day
Clean
Pretty sure the Leafs have a guy serving 5 games rn for a SIMILAR hit. 🤔
Looks like a Reaves hit… guess the NHL likes this hit… PATHETIC NHL…
I DO SEE WHAT YOU SEE
Whitecloud jumps for sure. Dirty hit. He might not have left the ice, but he rose up into the head
It’s a pussy hit no matter how you slice it. He set up the hip check and it was right there for him.
See that would have been a sick hit; but instead he jumps up – from a very hunched over position – and elbows Knies right in the chin.
Leaving his feet is a completely irrelevant point. The question is primary contact from and to.
