What a hit

I haven't really written about hockey lately because our season ended month ago. We are still playing for fun two times a week. Mainly I've focused on studying to get into medical school. The main reason I wanted to post about icehockey was this great hit Ville Varakas from Blues made in the finals of the finnish hockey league (SM-liiga). Eventhough Siim Liivik got a little damage there, HIFK has won all of the three matches and is now one win away from the championship. Next match is on Monday.

What do you think? Clean hit? Varakas got 5+20 mins for charging from that but didn't get suspended from the next game. In my opinion that was HARD but mostly clean hit and max. 2 mins for charging would've been more than enough.

  1. It was a hard hit, but I don't know anything about hockey so I wouldn't know what the appropriate punishment would be :)
