Polack for OV?  Guess we'll take it.

I'm ok with a 2 minute clipping penalty. Although if Ovi hadn't jumped it may have been fine. Not sure why they called it tripping.

Clipping + injury = auto major + toss?

I just read any clipping penalty that caused an injury is a 5-minute major, so probably a good thing it was a "trip".

It wasn't clipping, tripping or anything, He got him on the hip well above the knee, it was a textbook perfect hockey hit, total BS call!!

As much as Don has been out to lunch at times he's 100% right on the Kadri hit.

Perhaps the refs saw it as a low hip check, but not deliberately targeting the knee. Ovechkin's dodge turned it into a knee strike, so perhaps they had to call something for game management's sake.

That looks like knee or lower to me. I dunno. At the very least, I'm ok with the refs going for the middle option (could have either been 0 minutes, 2 minutes, or a 5 minute major).

Absolutely, 100% with out question a perfect hockey hit and not even close to being a penalty, a complete embarrassment.

Wasn't below the knee so not clipping it was a legal hip check which I don't think they've eliminated from the game YET.

The one on CBC was much better, you can't see anything here, it was well above the knee, not even close. Perfect hockey hit.

Don Cherry and Mike Milbury both defended the hit pretty strongly. That's generally a pretty good indication something was wrong with it.

And, there he is BACK ON THE ICE!

That dirty hit was so bad he lay on the ice long enough to get a penalty call!

Ovechkin should be credited with the goal!

When he comes back to Turanna for game 6, someone should throw a parachute with a soccer shoe attached with a note saying "For you Ovie".
