Ryan Lindgren is known for crushing hits on the blue line, surprising attackers by stepping up. But these hits are difficult to perform legally.

Such a cheap and dangerous hit. I like how you showed how he rose up and clocked Rakell in the head. But I have no confidence that there will be a suspension.
You don't think this is a late hit?
1:36 You can see here… the pits player skate face first into a Ranger shoulder.
Other then pits body posture, this was as clean as this type of hit can be. No extra steps, not a charge. Just played puck with no steps taken after release, not an interference. Skates on ice. Arm AND shoulder tucked in. Do you want hockey to be a no contact sport?
