That Is A Fucking HIT AND A HALF As The NHL Playoffs Begin

Woooo boy that's a god damn hit. Pavelski got smoked and hopefully is ok after getting a couple screws knocked loose. 

Now everyone gets to play the game "clean or dirty!?". I've been on the internet a long, long time. I've logged way too many hours on this thing so I know 1 thing is true- unless a player took a chainsaw and sawed off the other player's head and then skullfucked him, the consensus will be "clean as day, rub some dirt on it".** Basically every hit that happens, especially in the playoffs, is just good ol' fashioned hockey baby. 

Meanwhile Connor McDavid is doing classic Connor McDavid things…

It's gonna be an awesome playoffs. 

**Unless it was Tom Wilson then he should be in jail for life.
