Upshall Suspended for Hit

Former Philadelphia Flyers fan favorite and current Phoenix Coyote Scottie Upshall was suspended for a game in the IIHF World Championships for a hit to the head that would actually be considered a clean check in the NHL. Wyshynski breaks it down very eloquently as to why it wasn't necessarily dirty and why the NHL deems hits like this legal.



I wish Jeff Carter would take a cue from his former teammate and lay somebody out just once.
