Sportsnet thinking it was a dirty hit, while if you listen to the Detroit guys (which I did) they said it was just close. What are the odds that if it was the other way around Sportsnet guys say it was clean? He grazed his chin but principle point of contact the head? No. The brunt of it was to his chest and you can't look back like that when you are near your opponents blue line.
didny even touch the guys fucking head, the NHL is becoming a joke. guys now fight anytime there's a big hit and penalties giving out for every hit just a joke. might as well start watching the golf

Snot buster
Regardless if the hit was legal or not (it was), you can't be looking back for a pass going down the center of the ice.
Well, that was by accident for sure.
Blindsided, good thing he's ok, scary play all around.
The song playing at the arena "you gotta keep your head up" LOL
Suspend able
suicide pass, clean hit
classis bleacher report saying "matteau takes out smith with shoulder to jaw" smh
Look at it from the far angle. Shoulder to chest, head contact minimal. No suspension
How the fuck was the not a penalty
The refs fucked Montreal in that game.
Good old-school hit. Unfortunately, I'd hate to agree with these pussy announcers and say the league will look at this…
But they probably will.
didnt even touch his head. fuck the nhl is so rigged now a days
FUCK SUBBAN!!!
Dirty hit should me 5 and a game and suspended for 20 games.

Some reporter called that a legal check. I'm dumbfounded by that statement. Clearly made contact directly with the head. Cheap, predatory hit.
that arena looking like miami
