Ducks-Wings: Mike Brown's Hit On Jiri Hudler.
TEAMS: Washington Capitals,  New York Rangers,  Detroit Red Wings,  Anaheim Ducks
PLAYERS: Donald Brashear,  Blair Betts

This will be the next hit that is going to be looked at in the NHL. Some in the media are comparing it to the Donald Brashear hit on Blair Betts. It looked like a pretty rough hit and you can bet the NHL will look at the hit.

    The Ducks are the dirtiest team in the NHL, but that was a clean hit as much as I hate to admit it.

    It was a clean hit and it changed the game.The Franzan goal should should have been called back and a goaltender interference penality instead.As Harrypotter would say the refs won the game for Detroit.

    interference, not a 5 minute penalty but its a penalty, it was alil late

  • posthuman said May 02, 2009

    looks to me like the butt end of brown's stick that cuts hudler.

      I also think that the butt end of Brown's stick hit Hudler. If so, that warrants the penalty (and maybe more). it's hard to prove it though.

  • archervillain said May 02, 2009

    The hit was 100% legal. If you think it was a penalty, then which rule did it break. There's no penalty for hitting a person hard.

    since when can you use your stick as a weapon?brown needs to go back to hockey school and learn how to control his stick!look again people...i say suspension if not the wings will bring back mccarty ask claude lemieux how that panned out.

  • wingersrule17 said May 02, 2009

    it wasn't the butt end of the stick! you can see at 1:43-1:44.that it was the part of the stick between his hands.he should be suspended,but after the wings win this series it won't matter anyway 4-0.vancouver sucks!

  • hhpyee said May 02, 2009

    What's the rule against hits to the head? If it's illegal, then that deserved to be called a penulty..

    He was cut by his visor when he hit the ice,if it was the butt end of the stick he would of never made it back in the game he would of went to the hospital.
