Can't believe people are saying that Archibald hit wasn't dirty. Same type of hit on me in Junior blew out my knee and ended my hockey career. It is as dirty as it gets
I've seen people trying to argue that Stanley was trying to take Archibald's head off and that Archibald was just ducking the hit.
Stanley never moves towards Archibald at any point.
It's arguable whether Stanley was even eligible to be hit. He never had control of the puck.
To both of those points - Archibald also wasn't eligible to be hit and Stanley never makes any movement towards him to show any intent of hitting him.
On the other hand Archibald launched himself into Stanley's leg after taking 2-3 strides towards him.
I think it says enough that half of these people don't even understand what clipping is.
Edit to add: It should've been more than 1 game.
