The NHL will be reviewing Tom Kostopoulos’ (Montreal Canadiens) hit on Mike Van Ryn (Toronto Maple Leafs). Van Ryan has subsequently been sidelined for at least a month with a concussion, gash to the forehead, broken nose and a broken bone in his hand. Yeah, he basically got pretty jacked up.
Kostopoulos got a major penalty for boarding and was thrown out of the game.
"It was a dirty hit," Leafs forward Matt Stajan told reporters following the game. "It’s something that can’t happen in the game. Luckily, we made them pay."
