Linden hit, simply because that's something that sticks out to me when I think of Linden as a player.
HM to Bertuzzi on Chellios and Ballard on McGinn.

the jan bulis hipcheck on jack johnson in jack's first NHL game might win for comedy value.
I would have thought it'd be permanently engrained in people's minds.
But anyways, it's not the standalone hit that's impressive in a vacuum, it's the context of everything leading up to it. The Kings were physically pushing us around (even though we were out-skilling them), and up to that point, Edler would normally just take it and was not at all a physical player. Then all of a sudden he started hitting everything in sight out of nowhere and punctuated it with this.
One of my favorite performances in the last 10 years.
Imagine if a guy like Tanev suddenly grew devil Horns and started cheapshotting everyone on the bruins, then knocked out Chara in a TKO fight at the end of the night. That's the kind of exhileration I had watching that game.
