Oliver Whlstrom knocked Jimmy Vesey’s helmet off his head as he laid a huge hit on him. Nathan Bastian and Mcleod then sandwich hit him for it, resulting in a scrum between the Islanders and Devils.

Good, clean body check. Nothing wrong with that.
Vesey, still overrated. Why is he still in the NHL?
Only thing that could’ve made this better was if it was PK subban…
Anyone catch seven nation army going in the back ground?
I give Vesey credit for not throwing a fit and complaining when he got up, like many other players would have done. I think he realized it was a clean hit.
Again a scrum after clean hit. Come on. Keep on playing! I like fights, but fight after every clean hit is stupid. That's what happens now days because there are no good old tough guys.
Keep your head up and you don't have to worry about getting rocked.
Bodychecks have become youtube videos they're so rare in the nhl now
This is happening every night in the nhl definitely sick of it you are still allowed to body check…congrats nhl you have turned your once proud warriors into pussies that every time there's a clean hard hit some one's feelings get hurt and they think they have to fight stop being big babies and play on your ruining the game more and more as the years go on please stop ruining the game
I thought Nelson was having a nice convo with him….till Vesey yanked him lol
I hate Islander fans!
"Good clean hit"……aside from the elbow to the face….sure.
Wahlstrom – Maine guy
Clean hit. Right in the pussy.
What is it with today’s NHL? No one can take a clean hit anymore, buncha friggin babies.
It started off clean and finished dirty. Very common.
Another clean hit that winds up turning into a scrum…when did hockey get so pussified?
I’m todays pussifed NHL, there are hardly any fights and when they do fight they barely throw punches, they hold the jersey with the left hand and do little nudges to the face with the same hand, no goes toe to toe and tees off like the old days. There’s not much hitting either ,when there ,is they are mostly clean, yet the other team comes after you when you lay down a clean hit, it’s a joke. They have to call penalties for this crap.
That wasn’t even that devastating of a check, plus it was totally legal, and in the playoffs. Yet the Devils feel the need to virtue signal and take an idiotic penalty- in a playoff game lol. The current players in this league are such a joke.
