Connor Bedard would be in a body cast after a hit like that.

Made his skates flip up waist high that was some serious contact

Damn he launched himself in to that, how do you even do that without taking off the ice? 😂

Oh snap!

Wowa….his upper body stopped on contact and his legs whipped around from forward momentum…unreal hit

It’s rare to see open ish ice hits, and that one was nasty

Risto should have been called a penalty for scrumming after that hit according to new rules

He got hit so hard I wonder if he’ll be able to tell us what the 50’s were like when his brain stops bouncing around.

He did it from a stride getting caught up a bit on Poehling and then a bit is a push but not a huge one and then just destroying him

Clean hit. Guaranteed they both felt that one!

He’s thrown a few of those in his career. Good to see he learns what it feels like

Very glad Risto didn’t hit his head on the ice

Was at the game. That check was clean and killer. We all wanted a penalty of course.

Deletes is a fun word to use but Risto got up immediately, huge hit but far from a deletion

If that’s not charging, I don’t know what is.

Knocked his lid off!!

Looked dirty at full speed but that was clean.

Risto popped up immediately. So he wasn’t deleted in the slightest. Good hit though.

Looks like a bit of a charge, no?

I LOVE that Ristolainen got up unscathed and no one on the Flyers felt the need to start a fight over it. I do not love that the Flyers shit away a two goal lead in the third to a not so good Ottawa team.
