Oleksiak did end up fighting him at the beginning of the 2nd. And reading some of the comment it definitely was a clean hit but that’s not really the point.
Pause it at 1:21 and you can see it's an elbow to the head. Problem is Wright is bent over/ducking down. If you're goingto allow hitting this has to be legal. But if the league wants to make an issue out of it, the elbow to the head is there.
its not a targetting the head he is simply much bigger. Didnt chicken wing with a elbow, didnt hit low to the knees, he had the puck there its simply a big loud hit from a massive man nothing wrong with it unless u are a SEA fan who of course will cry no matter what lol
Remember when skating with your head down was a bad thing….? Nowdays u get rewarded with powerplays 🤦♂ Im just glad they were smart enough not to call this cuz it wasnt a dirty hit to the head he simply the bigger guy so it made contact with head but not even close to call it targeting lol
Am kraken fan, hit was clean. Elbow did contact head but that was due to Wright being so low to the ice. He didnt stay down because of the hit; he stayed down because the leg/skate of the buffalo player landed on the back of his head. If you watch Wright he was about to push himself back up but the skate hit as he was about to stand back up. At that speed and being so low i can forgive the contact, particular since it wasnt the principle point of contact. Shit happens, especially when a taller player is hitting a shorter player. Dealt with that plenty when i played youth hockey.

Stanley makes the hit & they are so scared of Stanley that they sent 2 guys to fight Benson instead 🤣 nobody wanted that fight
clean hit cuz he was low but "body to shoulder" is crazy
OOOOOOHHHH WHAT A HIT BY STANLEY! HOLYYY MACKEREL! Stanley levelled his check at the blueline now they're all chasing after Stanley!

clean hit but are the announcers blind? that was all head, nothing else
I love Benson so much
Woo
i was hoping you'd upload this one
His name is Stanley…..cool. like the cup?
Body to shoulder! As we see his elbow destroy the head 😂
Bad hit but not a dirty hit.
Can't claim hit to the head if your head is low enough to give confession.
Clean hit, keep your head up
They’re trying to remove the physicality from the NHL so they can make the league co-ed
Was the announcer blind or was he choosing to ignore a blatant hit to the head? It was pretty obvious.
Wright!! I'll never forget that pissy facial expression he gave MTL for taking Slaf over him haha but…nevertheless Seattle got a steal in that kiddo!!
Shane Wrong 😂
