@LeonFender via @DetroitRedWings: Kronwall isn't afraid of the dark. The dark is afraid of Kronwall.
I knew what was going to happen a full two seconds before it did. If you take the puck up the right boards in your defensive zone while Kronwall is on the ice, get ready for some pain.
Yikes. What a hit!
Actually, NKronwall in that Vancouver olympics loss vs Slovakia, he just might have cost sweden that game...
How was that clean? Seriously ... explain to me how that is a clean hit.
Don't get me wrong its a beautiful monster hit. I love those too, but!
no shoulder to shoulder or anything remotely close to it. He just stood him up, facing him with his back. Didn't look like a hip check either.
edit: on further review it does look like a hip-check ... but still
How was it not clean?
Haha, you make it sound as if Kronwall never did this in the NHL...He jumped before he made contact. Not much though. But if this had happened in an NHL game, it would have had people screaming for SHANABAN!

Vicious, very hard, but totally clean. The only thing that could be remotely dirty about this is that you could argue it was a charge (due more to the speed and distance traveled than him leaping into it/leaving his feet), but charging is rarely called in hockey any more, almost every big hit could be called charging by the letter of the law.
