Update 18hrs later or so. He stayed overnight at a hospital all scans checked out. He's going back to Ottawa for recovery. Everything so far seems like he is OK
Has a concussion
Thank you.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Thank you for the update - fingers crossed.
Thank you. I kept praying for him when I saw that hit.
I was at that game. The entire arena was so concerned and quiet. You could have heard a pin drop. As Islander fans, we couldn't care less if he was on the opposing team. We were all scared for Erik, and were hoping he would be okay. Seeing a player leave on a stretcher is upsetting. I hope he makes a full recovery.
I'm a sens fan
I was so scared to as a sens fan one of r best d man injured
well thats why your not supposed to be slamming people into walls
but that's hockey! ❤ 🏒 Everyone loves a good check, it is done all the time, but we don't want to see a player get hurt. @@ryanciani3324
@@ryanciani3324do you watch hockey at all?
a seizure after a bad concussion is always SO scary, and can be an indicator of major tbi. very much not dissimilar to tua's hit and subsequent seizure. god i hope he's alright.
can confirm. sustained a concussion after a baseball injury and began seizing as soon as I was in the ER. 3 days in ICU after that. that was 14 years ago and I'll most likely be on anti-seizure meds the rest of my life. seriously don't wish that / this on anyone.
What’s tbi?

In my ignorance, always felt a seizure was the body's way of doing a full reset
@@user-md8mr6ll6z Traumatic brain injury
Hard to watch, hope Branny is ok. He's had a tough go of it this year so this is a cruel fate. Really hope he makes a full recovery
Imagine if he was a black fella 🤣
Where are all the "keep your head up" idiots now?
@@Borodin410 no puck there...invalid tackle
Slewfoot by Clutterbuck.
@@Borodin410Doesn’t apply in this case
looks like he fell hard on his back too, there isn't a whole lot of protection there. Hope he is alright.
His back isn't the problem. We're talking about a head and/or neck injury here.
@@incumbentvinyl9291Thoracic or cervical vertebra can fracture with that type of impact. You don't need to be so snotty.
any examples of this in the history the sport or? never once have i seen, in any sport, a broken vertibrae from falling flat on ones back from a standing position.@@aloysiusdevanderabercrombi470

@@incumbentvinyl9291 i understand but his back could have been collateral damage.
this happened to Podkolzin last night as well
Yeah like two nights in a row...wtf?? Same kind of play falling backwards.
Holy shit that play is near identical to the one that was hit on Podkolzin last night, prayers up man
was thinking the same, both are awake and moving now
@@travulsa thank god
At first glance maybe, but I don’t think clutterbick intentionally slew footed him he actually tucked his leg back. The Podzkolzin hit was a definite slew foot action
Hope Erik is ok, and has a full recovery! Did not like seeing his leg twitching like it was, a concussion no doubt. Best wishes!
Lmao hockey is fake he was just acting 😅

@@alisyed294 just like WWE wrestling fake getting hurt 🤕 you realise they already know who won the hockey championship game 😳
Wishing Erik a full and speedy recovery
A similar situation happened with the Abbotsford Canucks where prospect Vasili Podkolzin began convulsing on the ice after hitting the ice. Scary thing. I hope Brannstrom is okay.
I know lot of research goes into it but still we need better cushions in the hockey helmets.
You design one then. It can’t get better without increasing size. Good luck
@@chade7669Don’t be such a cunt about it
Unfortunately the only thing that helmets really do is stop the skull from cracking and prevent cranial bleeds. You can’t stop your brain from moving in your head when you have acceleration and then deceleration of the head
🤡
The only way to reduce the force of impact is to lengthen it. You could make the padding twice as thick.
Oh my god, that’s so scary! I hope he’s okay! This is serious. I don’t think the hit was malicious in the slightest, but not a good hit. Hope he makes a full recovery. I don’t get anyone who says he was slew-footing or raising his legs up or anything. I just watched the replay and didn’t see that at all.
Dunno but if a slew foot
@@leafatheart Nah. At that speed and the angle of the hit, the glass slowed his upper body down more than his lower body and it just turned him. Unfortunate accident.
You're contradicting yourself.
It's a good hit, plain and simple.
Honestly the hit is just a tad late too, truly an accident, but in a way that hit wasn’t necessary either
@@philippebourdeau5294called finishing your check, there’s a reason no penalty
Ty so much Islander crowd for showing sportsman ship I appreciate you guys so much
I would think any civilized society would show sportsmanship in a situation like this. Even though New York has a lot of uncivilized people gladly they are not in this arena.
@@hemlockhomestead8907I love how everyone knows every person in another state well enough to pass judgement. Long Island is somewhat civilized, LOL!
Isles fans are very civilized to all teams, except Rangers and Leafs. :-)
Its always scary when a guy takes a nasty knock like this and there is some sort of movement afterwards. Reminds me of a few playoffs ago when Tavares took that knee to the face. He seemed to be trying to stand up immediately and it was scary as hell. I believe he was actually pretty incoherent and fighting the trainers at first who were trying to keep him on the ice and immobile. Scary stuff. I wish Brannstrom well.
When he started shaking was scary asl
Hit my head hard once and knocked myself out but I was biking, had a seizure after 3 minutes of unconsciousness and really haven't been the same since mentally, mostly put me into deep anxiety and depression and my memory isn't as good. Feel for the guy and hope he recovers well, coming from a leafs fan.
That ought to help a lot concerning 1967 then, hehe!
Sorry to hear bro ❤
brain injuries do not cause anxiety, and the injury itself doesnt cause depression. js
@@MrTedMcForehead You're dead wrong. Different types of injuries impact people differently.
A brain injury can lead to both anxiety and depression, but are not caused immediately upon impact as an injury or illness.
@tedmcforehead3405 they absolutely can. Even mild concussions can have long term effects
damn does anyone know if hes ok. not something you wanna see
Senators released a statement that he’s alert and has no issues with his extremities. He’ll be held over night for observation.
@@thehawk05thank you
Ужасная травма. Желаю скорейшего выздоровления этому достойному человеку.
А что стряслось? Силовой прием, упал. Хоть вы расскажите.
Поэтому я и не люблю хоккей с шайбой, эти постоянные силовые приёмы и удары соперников... Для меня это ужасно..
вот что пишут: Браннстрем, похоже, ударился головой об лед, падая после удара Клаттербака вдоль левой стенки в 8:43 периода, и не сразу поднялся.
Игра была остановлена более чем на пять минут, и обе команды вышли на лед, причем товарищи Браннстрема по команде получили травму колена, когда его укладывали на носилки.
Браннстрем был доставлен в местную больницу и находился в состоянии бодрости, используя свои конечности, говорится в заявлении "Сенаторз".
Главный тренер "Оттавы" Ди Джей Смит сообщил журналистам, что Браннстрем останется в больнице на ночь.@@glotsicube9266
Вроде, пишут - сотрясение
Судя по видео сделал это намеренно
Watching my boys play is one of the best things in life, but we are always conscious of the dangers of the game. Especially with the loss of Adam Johnson. I am glad he is going to recover fully.
Pretty impressive how those athletic trainers casually walked on the ice like it was nothing
Hoping for a speedy recovery! That was a scary hit (his head on the ice, not Clutterbuck smooshing him). I'm sure Clutterbuck felt 2 feet tall after that.
After the game, in an interview, Cal said how upset he was.
As a Rangers fan, I don’t like Clutterbuck cause of the jersey he wears, but he’s not a dirty player!! It was unfortunate positioning!! If that was a dirty hit those benches would’ve emptied!
Pray 4 branstrom. . Hope it aint the worse case scenario , and makes a full recovery.
what is the worse scenario ?
@222JohnRambo, probably brain damage. Forced to retire early. Thats the worse case scenario.
@@222JohnRamboi mean death, i guess

I'm sure he doesn't need to get stretchered off and taken to a hospital with the thoughts and prays flowing in
Sending thoughts and prayers for a good recovery ❤️🩹
He is super lucky that he landed the way he did after hitting his head, he was already in the rescue position to protect against further damage from the seizure.
My first thought seeing that too.
That's a stupid comment. Holds zero relevance.
what further damage exactly?
ya super lucky...
@@MrTedMcForehead brain damage or death. Seizures usually involve puking or excess salivating. That position allows it to clear your airway so you can keep breathing. Those leg movements may have just been him slowly coming back. Hopefully that's all it was. A concussion that leads to a seizure is never good.
That’s not good I hope he’s okay, hits like these always scare me. Prayers to him and his family.
Dammit Podkolzik last night and now this!
Love from Stars 💚 Hope he’s okay
Torsional impact with the head. TBI with what looks like a seizure. That’s brutal; hope he makes a full recovery.
Hope he's okay...praying for ya branny...get well soon man....
Nobody feels worse than Clutterbuck. The unfortunate side of hockey. Speedy recovery!
Scary fs hope Branny is ok and makes a full recovery 🙏
Praying he’s okay. God that was brutal to watch.
Скорейшего выздоровления!
I wish him a speedy and full recovery
Man that’s scary , wishing him a full recovery.
Hope he's okay. Wishes for a speedy recovery.
Was at the game, and heard that he has feeling and was conscious at the hospital
Prayers up
Great to see the Islander fans cheering him that was pretty rough to see a player in this situation and I hope he can recover from it
It's very unfortunate and I hope he's okay. Glad it wasn't a dirty hit.
It was a bit of a slew foot. Watch kc's knee placement when he pushes him back
Puck was gone and Clutterbuck saw that and boarded him, not a clean check at all.
@@rossonphillips Sure. That explains the penalty and the brawl afterward right? Go watch figure skating buddy, you don't know hockey.
@ScentsofStyleforMen Nice try I just watched the clip not the whole game, and the only reason for the penalty was he was convulsed and hauled off in a stretcher, and FYI I've probably watched more played more and coached more hockey than you have. I played high level junior hockey and was quite good, I'll bet you don't even know how to skate!
@@rossonphillips Ha ha ha. SUUUUURE You're a former junior player. Keep your Tutu clean and pressed sweetie.
prayer for bran
Growing up here in Philadelphia I watched the Broad Street Bullies rule the NHL during the 70s. Playing street hockey and then ice hockey I have an affinity for the game. What I see now is getting ludicrous. Some of the hits really should be investigated by the police for their brutality. I love the game. I love the hitting. I don’t love the goons going after defenseless skaters though.
The silence in the building speaks volumes. Seeing something like that changes you
It wasn't a dirty hit. Just a hard check where his legs got pinned in an unfortunate way for an extra hard head-first impact. It's a brutal sport. Hope he fully recovers.
Tips to the ref who was paying attention and blew the play dead instantly! Love to see it!
Ich finde diesen Sport oft schon sehr brutal. Die Spieler müssen viel aushalten. Respekt und alles gute an alle Eishockey Spieler.
Prayers to EB and family.
Shit, I hate Clutterbuck, but this hit was clean, and just unfortunate! Prayers up for Brannstrom! Get well soon, young blood!
He was off the puck long time ago
@@snzStormwhere did you come from, where did you go
@@snzStorm No, it wasn't even close to a late hit...
watch it again moron puck was gone for three seconds@@sethoselken9562
@@sethoselken9562you’re an idiot. He lined up from 10 feet away and blasted him well after puck was dumped. No intent to injure in that play? Do you pull that shit in your beer league? Do u even skate? Toolbag
You dont like to see that happen this is hard to watch, hope he has a fully recovery
Clutterbuck has been such a hitter ever since I saw him get called up with the wild
It happened to Vasily podkulzin when he got hit to board with a body slam and then he hit his head on the ice during a AHL hockey game
Hope he gets well quick.
Difficult to grasp that not to long ago it was considered weak to play with a helmet.
I mean if 40+ years is “not to long ago” then I guess yes
@@Max_m how old is hockey?
Wondering if he had a seizure….Looked like it. Terrible to see. And clutterbuck is a tough but fair player.
I think he did. I saw him shaking violently and uncontrollably for a few seconds.
Looks like a fencing response to a concussion.
Very common with a brain injury. I had seizures when I had a brain injury. Hope he doesn’t rush getting back on the ice.
🙏Hope is alright
Anyone who says this hit was dirty is a 🤡 Its an almost textbook hit into the boards. Its just unfortunate he flipped and landed on his neck. Im a Rangers fan too. Trust me if I had legit chance to trash Clutterbuck I would, but facts are facts. I watched it many times and in slow mo. He comes at him from the side, no cross check. Just drives him into the boards and the guy happens to flip over. It actually happens all the time in hockey, just most times players are able to brace themselves for the fall. He just unfortunately ended up landing on his neck. Hope he makes a full recovery, but there was nothing illegal or dirty about that hit.
Bit late but yeah if it wasn't for the consequences nobody talk about it.
dawg we ain’t need a whole ass paragraph
Nobody is saying that. Why you stirring up shit?
Well said.
Not suspension worthy, but Clutterbuck should definitely have to answer the bell for it. You injure a player like that, you need to answer for it. Sad to see he never did
You see this sort of play all the time where the opponent brings the knee in behind on hits. Its partly for balance and partly to ensure the hit puts the player down. It’s kind of amazing we don’t see concussions more often from that sort of thing. Going over backwards like that makes you pretty defenceless, and being a big tall guy makes it worse.
This is the right take.
I've previously commented here that this was a slew foot, but my earlier comment wasn't quite right... It's similar to a slew foot.
Something needs to be done to get rid of using a leg to take a player down like that on a hit. Not sure *how* honestly, since it's hard to see in real time, but it's just far too dangerous to not do anything. This time it was a concussion, but the next time it might be a broken neck that paralyzes someone.
@@andrewclarke8163how is it similar to a slew foot? Clutterbucks skate didn’t even touch Branny’s.
@@dooodooo3474 it's the fact that he used his leg to take Branny's legs out from under him. That is what makes slew footing so dangerous and the same thing happened here.
Lots of slew foots don't involve contact with the actual skate (watch any slew footing compilation). The key difference here is that the initial primary contact was the hit on the upper body and the contact from the leg came after the initial contact.
holy hell you can hear his skull smack the ice. brutal stuff
Seizures are a bane. I had 4 in a row 2 weeks ago. Fell into the wall and got a concussion. Spent 3 days in the hospital. I feel for him.
He kinda got slew-footed on that. Very unfortunate. I wish him a speedy and full recovery.
Not to mention the charge. The guy took 5-6 strides directly in to the check. Then used his knee to slew foot him.
@@martin4749no he didn't use his knee, his knee was there if he used his knee there would way more movement with it.
Damn, hate to see that! Nothing wrong with the check but really unfortunate way to land! Hope he recovers quickly and is okay 👌
Watching the slowmo replay it looked very similar to a slew foot but then when they played it in full speed it just goes way to fast to be anything like that. Just unlucky
@@KEFFMrTyCo yeah, just an awkward fall 😬
This seems to be a long legal hit by NHL standards, but really unnecessary. The idea of finishing checks when the puck is gone has always bothered me. This one is a pretty tight time frame, puck was not long gone, but every game has a ton of what I consider late hits that they should take out of the game. Let’s hope everyone remains heathy this season as Iove the game.
@@Playlist-yz8deyou can never stop all so called late hits, it's ice that they play on. 👌🏼
I still would've drop the gloves.
That was a hard watch Hope he has a fast recovery
Prayers
Landing on ice is definitely comfortable… said no one ever
The puck is long gone. I'm so tired of these hits where they lift the opponent up and into the glass. Stop doing this shit. It's so fucking dangerous.
Those are my favorite hits but indeed its dangerous
Such a statement merely proves that you know nothing about hockey as the location of the puck is completely irrelevant.
There have been goals scored prior to clean hits, nothing strange about it.
I suggest you start watching football instead, your kind of sport full of gamesmanship. Leave hockey to people that actually know the game.
trust me when i say, we are much more tired of house league gen z fans like yourself whining about physicality in the sport. the game is a shell of what it once was, viewership reflects this, and it's almost entirely on you.
@@MrTedMcForehead I’ve played hockey longer than you’ve been alive, you brain dead internet troll. I’m fine with physicality but there’s zero reason to lift a player up on the boards and slam them on their head. It happened with Elias Petterson as well. Stop talking about the game being a “shell” of its former self. The league has developed into a much more skill based game. You wouldn’t know that though because you’re a fat casual that’s ever touched the ice
@@incumbentvinyl9291 oh look. Another internet troll that doesn’t understand the basic rules of interference in a sport they’ve never played. Guaranteed you are a 400 pound hillbilly that started watching hockey after discovering Shoresy on Hulu one night after you engorged yourself with Oreos and Cheetos
Unfortunate on a routine play. Bizarre how it happens. Happened to me, separated my shoulder. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary on the hit, the same as every other..
U can see clutterbuck lift his left leg and basically slew foots him
@@johnnyversaci7091 Its a clean hit , clearly you never played hockey.
@@jakecarroll5 yea lifting your leg and tripping the opponent is squeaky clean
Man, I hate to see that. Glad he was okay after this. Blessings.
As an ex roller hockey player, just playing on wooden boards, but with the same kit as ice hockey players, body armour and same helmets, I can tell you I have fallen heavily, just like that, landing on my back and head, and it is jolting to say the least. I remember clearly seeing stars , and could'nt play again for months! Smacking your head on ice is another story, no give in it at all! Hope he recovers soon!
😞😒🙏🤝
Clean hit, hopefully he’s ok
Lmfao sure it was. A wee bit late and the road him into the boards.
@@heathclark318 a a bit late and into the boards? That’s a hit
Slew-foot action. We've seen it many times before when someone does the little extra to control someone at the boards, they often fall without them being able to brace themselves because of it.
Yep, Sens fan -clean hit but it fucking sucks.
No call, so therefore: "Clean". lmao what a dipshit who thinks this way
Praying…🙏🏻
**** man that's hard to watch, everything fine one second the next you're on a stretcher, I hope he recovers fully
Clean hit. The difference in strength led to the awkward fall.
Yup, this guy is an authority on “clean hits” I’m guessing cumbent has dished out and taken the best from men of different “strengths”…
I don’t know for me it’s a clean but way late.
what is your highest level of hockey played, and provide proof if its a relatively high level. until you do this, you are a house league player (which you 99% most likely are) and therefore have absolutely zero clue as to what you are talking about. youre less of an authority than anything. the hit was a common, clean hit. stop talking, stop watching the sport.@@callmesceptical9114
@@tomaszgrzesik3916 Why not just hit shoulder to shoulder instead of doing this push with hands from the front and sweep with legs from behind. Clearly just intended for the player to fall hard. The league should look into that and make some rule changes.
@@callmesceptical9114 Absolutely.
Decades of experience one the ice, in the stands and on the sofa.
Your guesswork is on par. Broke someone's collarbone on a clean hit when they were trying to carry the puck up ice at their own blue line.
I've also been hit cleanly behind my own net out of the blue by a checker. Didn't break anything but I did suffer a minor shoulder injury. Our goalie managed to give me a heads up a split second before impact, so I manged to at least partially brace myself from the incoming train that I did not see coming. You learn something new every day.
Definity a late hit. He watched the puck come off the stick. Hope he recovers OK.
Didn't look that late to me. If it was late (measured by frame count), it was marginally so. Not "definitely"....
@@davrion I'm not saying Clutterbuck is dirty or anything like that. I don't recall him ever being suspended for anything. All I'm saying is the puck was well away when contact was made. Both players could have done better there. Clutterbuck was late, and the young Brannstrom needed to keep his head up and do a hockey stop to avoid a hit. Sucks a great career in the NHL might be over for it.
@PowerSysPsyOps what was the frame count, since that's how they measure "late"? You have a window of time to finish your check where it is NOT considered late
Awkward, dangerous landing, on the back and head. These players deserve every penny they get, hoping for a full recovery
I hope he'll be okay! How many players have been hurt this week from hits? 3?
its not uncommon to see injuries at that rate early in a season tbh. This one was pretty bad tho I hope he makes it out ok but Im sure he's going to be out for quite a while
@@bosskey7212 Yeah, I know people get hurt. It just seems like there's been 3 pretty major ones this week.
Hopefully he's ok....unfortunate freak accident. I hate the islanders, but it was a clean hit.
Slew foot

hes just a gen z that is afraid of everything@@pat8757
Wasn't a dirty hit. A freak accident. People forget how hard the ice is. There's certainly no give.
that was pretty late after he dumped the puck
less than a second after he release the puck, with zero spacial awareness at all. theres no excuse for not preparing yourself for a hit there@@Sshooter444
Freak accident…sure. It was a simple puck dump and he was pasted several strides after release.
wish him the best on his future endeavors
jesperi kotkaniemi while a habs got hit exactly the same way. going down body twisting, fells on back of neck-head-top of shoulders than head spans in a odd way.
the back was the last thing hitting the ice. back of neck took everything. that is brain contusion and twitching like a bacon. I also was hit like that when younger and the kid was smaller but I dont remember shit and have not got up to 100? ever...
Anybody else think it was a late hit ? The puck was way gone
I looked at this closely and it definitely looks like Cal is a psychopath. The way he intentionally lifts his knee and pushes it under Erik's legs to trip him while simultaneously trapping the arm that would help him break the fall speaks of a high degree of malicious and psychopathic intent. That man should never play hockey again. I'd gladly watch him serve a long sentence for this behavior.
you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
Watch soccer. Or the NBA. You’d enjoy that. Clean. Grapes for PM. Keep your head up.
EXACTLY SAME thing happened to podkolzin oct 25th he feel the same way
Пресс‑служба «Сенаторз» сообщила, что Бреннстрем был доставлен в больницу, он находится в сознании и может двигать конечностями. Хоккеист проведет ночь под наблюдением врачей.
- Очевидно, это было эмоционально для ребят и всех участников встречи. Мы ждем новостей. Похоже, сейчас с ним все в порядке, так что это позитивный момент, но мы подождем новостей, - сказал тренер «Оттавы» Ди Джей Смит.
Для Браннстрема это была седьмая игра в сезоне.
His leg hit Brannstroms legs taking them out. Otherwise the hit would have been perfect. But Brannstrom had no chance of protecting himself.
Honestly think it is very questionable how much contact you should be able to make with one’s leg with plays like these
Looked like a malicious and intentional trip to me. He forced him to fall defenselessly backwards and hit his head on the ice
Are we going to pretend Clutterbuck didn't intentionally bring his leg to the board to sweep Brannstroms legs out from under him?
Clear as day slewfoot.
I watched this is .25 speed, no slewfoot but still a very late hit
@@lightningfan My dude, clean your glasses 1:41
@@Pottan23 still no slewfoot
No slew foot here, he widened his legs to brace for making the hit and just happened to get his leg around him, he didnt purposely slew foot him, not even a bad hit, just an unlucky result
Hope he's OK.
Holy $h!+ that looked like it hurt
clutterbuck never passed up a borderline or late hit for his entire miserable career
It was completely clean.
you're a sissy fan
Remember when Don Cherry called him buttercup.
1000+ NHL games, $40,000,000 in earnings and the record for the most recorded hits in NHL history is a miserable hockey career?
Hit wasn't too late imo, but it was an absolutely textbook slew foot.
Didn't look intentionally dirty or malicious, but there's no question that back leg is what caused him to flip.
Sens fan? No slew foot at all.
he basically shoved him and then tripped him and forced a backward fall. what kind of psycho does that to another player?
tell me you never played a sport competitively without telling me... as im writing this i realize you name is miranda.. go figure@@miranda92051
That's a slew job all day
@@MrTedMcForehead that proves my point. with his experience he obviously knows beforehand how someone is going to fall, so if he trips them and also traps their hand so the only way they can fall is backwards without the possibility of bracing that fall, what does that tell you? Obvious malicious intent is what I see here. Clear as day. You don't "accidentally" make another player go airborne AND trip them AND trap their hand and make them fall like that. He's clearly a psycho who who should be out of the sport asap!
Update : He’s back playing with the team.
Show podkolzin injury yesterday
His own fault. Nothing play. Branstrom had plenty of time to prepare for the mellow hit. He decided to watch his own dump in instead.
its incredible how he didnt even attempt to protect himself or brace in any way
slew foot
Clean hit not even too hard guy just looked like he fell really hard on that shoulder neck area glad to hear he is doing ok. It's always scary! When sime just gets hit wrong or falls wrong especially in a sport as fast and hard as hockey.
man at first i thought this was hoing to be the video about hockey player that got killed by skates a few weeks ago but yea this sucks too it was so hard to watch his head go down like that 😮
How is that a clean hit? He didn't have the puck and you can see the islander pushing him into the boards 1:32.
go play soccer you twat
Plus look at Clitterbucks back leg. Is there contact with Branstrom’s legs?
ya there's a bit of a slew foot there for sure. @@CommonClowns
This is how you can tell who the real hockey fans are. It was 100% a clean hit. He had the puck when Clutterbuck went at him. You are legally allowed to finish your check even if the player releases the puck. Secondly it wasn't a slew foot at all. He was coming at him from the side and bracing for impact. There was absolutely nothing dirty or malicious about this play. Just like when you lay a great hip check on someone it can send them flying, that's all this is. Definitely unfortunate, but one of the many risks of being a professional hockey player. Hope he makes a full recovery.
@@RoughRaiders13 dude clutterbuck loaded up for the hit 2 seconds after the puck was gone... you're allowed to finish your check. He hadn't fucking started his check. Are you blind?
That's his career ending hit
F**..... Had a really similar incident like that happen. Slamming the back of my head except it was on a concrete rink, not ice. Man i hope he's ok...
Not gonna say it’s dirty but I’ve played hockey my whole life and clutterbuck knew exactly what he was doing. He tried dumping him after the hit, just not on his head.
Exactly. He literally trips him and you can very clearly tell on the way he moves that it's all done with maximum malicious intent.
repeating it time and time again doesn't make it a dirty hit. It was an accident and just momentum. Get over it Esmerelda@@miranda92051
Isles fan. That was tough to see. 😢
seizures are difficult to witness. Hope he makes a quick recovery. Modern tech should be able to make a better helmet for contact sports…raise the certification level …better shock absorption requirements….that being said, the one he had on, may have saved his life.
