CROSS TO BEAR
Kris Letang checks an NHL linesman
What should we make of the video above where Kris Letang cross-checks an NHL official? As the linesman comes in to separate two players after an icing call, he brushes past Letang and shifts him out of his way. The Pittsburgh defenseman appears to take offense and gives the official a light cross-check in the side. Some fans are clamoring for Letang to receive some sort of discipline...

Kris Letang crushes John Tavares during Penguins win
In a race for the puck during the second period, Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang knew he was going to be hit and decided to initiate contact first. Letang absolutely leveled New York Islanders forward John Tavares with this hit using his back, sending him almost parallel with the ice.
