Idk why so many people say don't give Karlsson the credit he deserves just because he "can't play defence". I'd take Karlsson over any other defenceman in the league. Give me a smooth skating, high hockey IQ d-man that puts up basically a point per game? Hell fuckin yeah.
All karlsson had to do to send leddy flying was get a body on him, which he did. With someone coming up the ice like leddy was, a bump was all that was needed. Great play by Karlsson

A vintage hip check, love to see it
What a hit.
To bad they lost LGI
karlsson is the best defenseman in the league
Second
Now that's good defense
0:08 over and over….
"Erik Karlsson sucks defensively. He's only good offensively"
Even as an islander fan, i must say that was a sick hit
Everybody needs to calm down. He lays a big hit on defense and now all of a sudden hes good defensively.
the kid can throw his weight around

It's a thing of beauty, reminds me of Rob Blake's hip checks.
and they say he shouldnt win a norris..
No suspension??? Wtf clear hit to the head and the league let's it slide… If it were Subban or Webber he'd probably been ejected from the game
rekt
That was beautiful coming from an islanders fan

haterz gonna hate. Karlsson is the best defenseman in the nhl
Someone need to post Ek on Hayes great hit
