Washington Capitals foul mouthed Head Coach Bruce Boudreau has cleaned up his words to address head shots.
Sunday night, the Washington Capitals and the New York Rangers faced off in an intense battle in game three. In the first period, the puck deflected off of Mike Green’s stick to Jason Arnott who put a tape-to-tape pass on Alexander Ovechkins stick to tie the game at one a piece. The Rangers scored late and outlasted the Capitals, winning 3-2.
Today, Head Coach Boudreau rewinds back the time. He brings to light a hit from New York Ranger’s defenseman Marc Staal on Mike Green, which occurred during the Capitals goal referenced above. Boudreau has asked that the NHL look into the hit.
Here is a video of the hit for you to cast judgment on. It is unknown if the NHL disciplinarians will look into the event, but if you were in their shoes, what would your call be; head shot or no head shot?
