Absolutely everything about this was perfect.
The atmosphere in Winnipeg sets the whole thing up off the bat.
The hit itself was obviously the star of the show here, and it was clean as a whistle.
But it doesn’t stop there.
The refs were perfect here.
And credit to the rest of the Blues players on the ice out there.
That wasn’t the case here.
The Blues knew it was just a great hockey play, and kept moving on.
That’s what playoff hockey is all about.
Hits like that, and snipes like this one from Jimmy Snuggerud.
Kid should still be in the library studying for finals right now.
Instead, he’s completely torching the best goalie in the NHL up high.
