00:00You rarely see a hit this violent and this deadly from a hockey standpoint
00:05that is allowed, that is not penalized.
00:08I was stunned it didn't result in a penalty.
00:10They initially called the penalty, but they reviewed them.
00:12And they watched, and they said, oh, he hit him in the chest.
00:16But it was just timed to the point that Cousins is looking down at the puck.
00:21That's not Chickren's fault.
00:22You're allowed to hit a guy looking down.
00:24You're responsible for keeping your head up.
00:26And he annihilates him.
00:28He ends up parallel to the ice, slams into the boards, laid out,
00:32and is going to miss at least a week.
00:35Sounds like maybe a couple weeks.
00:36So hopefully everything's okay with him.
00:38But this is how it sounded last night, one of the most vicious hits in hockey in years.
00:42One-handed jab that'll get it deep in the Ottawa zone.
00:44But the Senators are on it quickly.
00:46And then Chickren, oh my goodness, what a hit on Nick Cousins.
00:51Absolutely blasted him down ice.
00:53Cousins is still down.
00:54He dropped the shoulder into him as Cousins was trying to play the puck.
00:58And Cousins is struggling.
01:01Down on the ice, a thunderous hit on number 21, Ottawa.
01:06Amazing.
01:07I mean, it really was.
01:08You watch that play, and you go, oh, hockey's different.
01:13That was legal.
01:14That was allowed.
01:15That was within the rules.
01:15In fact, the NHL has looked at it today.
01:17The DOPS, the Department of Player Safety, and they said,
01:19there's nothing we can do here.
01:21He played within the rules.
01:22So I'm stunned by that result.
01:24So I'm stunned by that result.
