Blindsides, head hits, slew foots, elbows. Artyukhin is a dirty rat who picks his spots. If the dude would focus less on the cheapshots and more on playing a smart power game, he'd be such a solid player. As is, he's a clown who doesn't use the gifts he has the right way.
Well today's game showed the opposite of what you are saying. He was clean on his hits.
All of Artyukhin's hits were clean except the one on Michalek, Mikhalek was saying something to Artyukhin seconds earlier, probably trying to provoke him. Not a dirty player, definitely establishes himself as a force. Bykov said he was molodets, so don't expect Artyukhin to slow down in the next games.
This guy was custom made for NHL hockey if he could only find a coach that believed in him enough to give him the minutes to make a real impact. He's an absolute beast and probably the best body checker in the game.

I find the Czechs too soft and they do whine a lot when the opponent are tough on them. Hockey is a tough sport, you can't expect ballet all the time and you can't always judge a hit based on the injury.He is a great player in his role. He should take it down a bit to avoid the worst hit vs Czechs for an example, but overall he is not that dirty, just strong as bull. I am not surprised that Czech are moaning though, two good players got hit. Plus the fact that Czechs seems to moan every time when there is some physicality in the game. Just like with Ruutu brothers.
Yeah, Russian fans have two faces. When they get hit, they while like the Czechs, but when they give the hits, they laugh exactly like Canadians.Russians are so sensitive when Canada hits them like that, but they find that funny. Some good clean hits, and some blindside hits (but not sure if that rule exists in IIHF). He better not have hurt Michalek. He's had enough injuries already.
