I just saw the hit on tsn...I..feel for the guy, trying to figure out what happened, who he was, and all that. Hope he's better than he looked.

Didn't see the hit. Was it clean and just "one of those things"? It would be a shame if someone was head-hunting in a exhibition game.

“I was coming in to take the boards away and had some good jump. He bobbled the puck at the last second and I don’t think he saw me coming at all. It was a shoulder right in his chest. He’s eight feet tall, so it’s not like you could hit him in the head.”

- Ottawa's Chris Neil about a hit he threw on Tampa's Victor Hedman Thursday night, causing Hedman to leave the game.
