He should not. But the NHL is bad at interpreting it's own rules.Stupid question but should Kempny be eligible for a check at that point at the first place? He had already played the puck forward and Lemieux merely prohibited him from joining the play as it went to Rangers end?

The Caps' announcers are a special kind of terrible but here's a full clip, unfortunately not showing a better angle. In the speed of the game, I think Lemieux was timing a solid shoulder to shoulder - but people calling for 5 games? Give me a break. That's a strong Wilson-type hit.
I have seen cap fans call alot worse hits then this clean when thrown by the king of the dirty hits.
