Former Leaf takes a BIG hit along the boards, which caused him to do almost an entire front flip
Former Maple Leafs defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin took perhaps the craziest hit recorded this year from Vegas' Keegan Kolesar in the first period of the Golden Knights/Sabres game last night. Chasing after the puck early if the first period, Lyubushkin took a hit from behind that caused him to do a complete somersault flip. Kolesar ended up taking a penalty on the play - a 2-minute boarding call.
Thankfully, it appears that Lyubushkin was ok as he popped right back up to defend himself in a pushing and shoving match with the Vegas Golden Knights players.
One has to think that at the very least that the NHL Department of Player safety will at least take a look at this violent hit from behind to see if it warrants a suspension. It was certainly a dangerous hit and could have ended much worse than it did.
