Marchment clean check on Nurse – Tough Call Review
Mason Marchment hit Darnell Nurse with some heavy contact from the blindside. But he went through the body and didn’t take advantage of the situation at all.
This is an extract the from the IIHF rule book "A Player in possession and/or control of the puck has the obligation to acknowledge they are eligible to be hit at any moment during this possession and/or control. They must therefore be aware of their immediate environment on the ice and always be prepared for such contact. However, this acceptance of contact is limited and can only be justified by a check that is legally delivered by an opponent. Since a player's peripheral vision being limited, it cannot be reasonably expected that they have total circumspection of what occurs on the ice. A Player preparing to deliver a check to an opponent in possession and/or control of the puck must do everything in their power to execute a fair and well-timed hit. They must also ensure that they deliver it in such a way that their opponent has a reasonable possibility to perceive the impending contact from their established peripheral vision and can accordingly brace themself for such impact. A Player delivering a check to an opponent outside the latter’s established peripheral vision, also known as a “blind-sided hit”, is not considered to be a well-executed check, and may be penalized accordingly by the Referee." Blind-sided checks are not allowed by the rules. but maybe the NHL rule book is different.
Up to the player delivering the hit to make sure it’s legal. That was blindside and a little late also there’s two players besides nurse on the play. There’s no way he expects a third player to lay intention like that. I’d say that was intent and targeting a vulnerable player.

Nurse tempting fate by having his helmet so loose that his strap is flapping around well before the hit
Predatory hit by a predatory player. The guy deserves everything that comes to him this season.
No benefit of the doubt for that rat

Interference. Puck was well gone. Blindside like Marchment's hit on Hyman.
Why post it if it's a good body check?
Maybe a tad late
Nurse deserves it. He’s so dirty.
Nurse got rid of the puck, so it's not a legitimate check. Unless the rules have changed?
Shit analysis…stick to soccer.
very good. clean hit. 10/10
IF YOUR BODY IS BEHIND TGHE GUYS SHOULDER AND IN HIS ARMPIT, IT'S A DIRTY HIT
