What are you guys looking at?? def not boarding. He hit Seider in the chest/shoulder, not the numbers. (back)
Just knocked him backwards onto his back, and into the boards. Lost his balance and fell awkwardly.
Clean hit. Hope Seider is OK.
Hits 5’ off the boards are in the “danger zone” by which hitting a player in this area cause significant risk of injury due to the fact they can end up awkwardly falling into the boards just as seider did. This kind of hit is regularly called as boarding.
Moreover, the referee didn’t think that was a clean hit as he called a penalty.
