I have no affiliation to either team, and I dislike both players about the same, but I have to say this was a dirty hit. It was a clear hit to the numbers and constitutes boarding. This is the exact reason they are making a big deal about these boarding hits. The player who gets boarded, his head is the first thing to hit the boards.

Now, no one knows if this was intentionally a boarding, its hard to tell. So we have to give Ruutu the benefit of the doubt.

What is your opinion?
