How is that a penalty? Orpik didn't get one for Polak.

Not so much dirty as dangerous. He shouldn't have gone so low.

That looked pretty fucking intentional. Fuck you Kadri.

That was 100% a dirty ass hit. Fuck off Kadri.

It was on an NHL Superstar, so of course it's dirty. If it was the other way around or Ovi chopped off Kardi's finger, nah.

Kadri just got marked by a team that can absolutely destroy people.

Matthews gets tripped and no call. Guess he hasn't earned the Bettman Special yet.
NO!!!! Why Kadri? .... I wanted so bad for that to not look like a dirty hit....
Hmm. Not convinced. Can I have another Leafs fan weigh in?
Thank you.

Looked dirty as fuck to me, but I'm a Caps fan.
I expect Kadri to take a big hit later on

Sounds like just one of those hockey plays

Should have been 5 and a game misconduct, but not surprised the refs only gave him two. That's how it always seems to go in this league.

Ovi jumped right before the hit, that's why he took it on the knees.
If Kadri got Ovechkin's hip then this shouldn't be considered a dirty hit. That's a big if. I'm not sure.
Just want to find any reason to defend Kadri really, heh...
It looked like a dirty hit and like he basically took Ovechkin's knee out.
But if a replay upon closer inspection shows that Kadri want to lay out a big hit and hit the hip because Ovechkin's ran out of the way, that mitigates this whole mess.

Where have I heard that before?
Oh right, when Matt Cooke took out Barrie's knee.
No way, he barely went low as is. Ovi tried to jump out of the way and his leg was caught behind him. Don't see how Kadri could have avoided that.
They gave him a tripping call... are these refs just plain stupid?
I mean they should know what the rules are right? It's a text book major penalty.
I can assure you it wouldn't even have been a penalty at all in the Rangers-Habs series.

Bad hit, bad outcome. Not like this.
Let's please someone else corroborate this with video evidence so I can sleep tonight lol.
His skates are on the ice when contact was made... at no point did Ovechkin jump. Let's make this very clear.

I really don't think Kadri was targeting Ovi's knees or trying to hurt him on purpose. He tried to go hip on hip, Ovi sidestepped it and got it square on the knee.
It's still a penalty though.

Kadri's definitely a dirty player man. Calling Kadri clean is like calling Burrows clean.
Here's a video of the hit: https://streamable.com/cbfxp
Dude hip-checked his knee, that's definitely a dirty fucking hit. At least clipping.
ITS A BEAUTY don my ass
plus it was about 4 seconds late.
Of course he does.

Is Ovechkin really injured, or is he just Euroing it up?

The hit was hip to hip, except Ovi tried to avoid the hit and his leg was the main point of contact as a result.
It was barely a penalty at all, and not nearly as bad as Orpik.
