It's not allowed. Particularly vicious hits with clear intent to injure typically result in suspensions/fines.

No, that's illegal and would likely result in a fine and a 10 game suspension. There aren't many dirty players left, but there are a few.

That's really ugly. Even without the obvious intent to injury nature of the hit, that has to be at the very least high sticking and cross checking.

Now this is a hard, clean legal NHL heavyweight hit. Player has the puck, leads with the shoulder/back and doesn't leave his skates. Just a quality, crushing hit.

there have been criminal charges for on-ice incidents at least twice before, but I'm not sure this is enough to have them here. he's almost certainly done for the rest of the year (and since Columbus' year might only be 2 more games, quite possibly a good chunk at the start of next year as well)

I strongly doubt he'll be criminally charged, but no chance he plays the rest of the playoffs.

One game suspension. Not surprising given the NHL's leniency for these types of incidents.

Absolutely absurd. the cross-check itself should have been enough to end his season, but the follow-up suckerpunch is completely inexcusable.

I honestly don't see why that wouldn't be enough for criminal charges since he used his friggin stick on the guy first, too. Literally a weapon.

I thought hockey wasn't cool with using your stick to hit people anyway?

If all he did was that shoulder check after the play I would agree with a 1-game. But a cross check to the head outaide of a hockey play, THEN the hit? Maaaaaannn....

Yeah, the NHL is super bad about physical violence because it's half the reason a lot of people watch the games. In the Olympics and the Worlds, they're a LOT more strict about this sort of shit, like a fuckton more strict.
