Brooks Orpik hammers Daniel Paille

Disclosure: I am a Boston Bruins fans, but this is an awesome hit, this is a text book legal check by former B.C.

Daniel Paille gets crushed, sent flying by Brooks Orpik

The Bruins fell to Pittsburgh 2-1 in their Saturday matinee matchup to prolong a rough slide for the B's. Every loss is painful for players but I'm sure this one hurt a little extra for Daniel Paille, who got absolutely crushed and sent airborne at center ice by former Boston College Eagle Brooks Orpik.
