Looks like as much of a trip as hip check, it's close. Looks like his skate kicks out Kucherov's inside leg just as the hips make contact.

Personally I think if a hip check results with the player tumbling over the defender it is a trip, but these kinds of hip checks I like

Yeah I don’t see how that could be considered a trip. It’s literally hip to hip. Love to see it. Wish we saw more physicality in general.

The only time that really happens is if the point of impact is at the knee, and then it's called clipping (or it's suppose to).

Eh - if you miss you completely lose your coverage. It's too situational.

Oh yeah, you look like a moron if you miss and can seriously hurt your lower back if you hit the boards.

Having said that, nothing is more beautiful in terms of physical play than a well timed Rob Blake type hip check.
