Brayden McNabb caught Zach Hyman skating up ice with the puck. Hyman didn’t like the hit and a scrum ensued as he responded. Tough Call will be reviewing the hit. Have your say!
McNabb has been a dirty player ever since moving to Vegas, he's lost whatever respect he had as a hockey player. He was perhaps the worst offender for uncalled dirty plays during the infamous Montreal – Vegas series. The evidence is clear, Vegas is Gary Bettman's Hockey-In-The-Desert TM lapdog team and the refs work for them. Vegas players have a license to injure and aren't hiding it.
Keep ya head up boy. If you're gunna put your head down, expect it to meet some ones bicep like this. Probably as clean as it can get considering how bad of a position Hyman put himself in, and McNabb has the right to step up and make that check, he hits him less then half a second after his teammate knocks the puck away. This is that real "playoff hockey" that people are mis-characterizing now a days.
That was NOT a hit to the head, all these comments sayin "hit to the head, are by dumbasses. it was a clean hit. arm down and tucked, McNabb is just taller and more upright. Hymen turned and tried to take off and McNabb pinched in and threw a hit rather then backing up to play conservative D. Hymen likely didn't expect it, he saw him last second, but ultimately absorbed it well. CLEAN HIT.
Its a dirty hit but unfortunately completely acceptable in today’s NHL playoffs. Someone is going to get a career ender and the league is fine with that I guess.
Hitters gonna hit. Typically though McNabb targets the smaller players so that's why Hyman absorbed this one pretty well. Playoff hockey. Pointless scrum after though.

4 officials on ice. Yup. And game was out-of reach
McNabb was lucky not getting injured

Within the rules
It look like McNabb tried to get him in the head with his elbow, but blew it, as he want down harder than Hyman did.
Who cares, it's hockey, people get hit. There's my say.
It’s not dirty it’s on the edge of being dirty though
Hyman reversed him,McNabb got the worst of that
A tad late but nothing to cry about but I’m sure the soft kids will.

lol mcnabb got his shit pushed in.
Hyman is a beast
Lfg oilers
Oilers are a different bigger tough team than before. Vegas won’t be able to run them out of the rink.
Beautiful hit mcnabb took the the worst of it but good hit none the less
No audio? Cahm annnn brudda
Tough high hit. A minor in the regular season. In the playoffs it's 50:50 on whether it's called.
Why would he do such a thing to a children's book author?
Not even a question, totally clean
If only the NHL would put a referee on the ice
That is a clean hit if you think that’s dirty then watch tiddly winks cry babies

mcnabb led the hit and got bitched
