It's interesting. We all watched the same video, yet there are differing opinions on the hit.
I'm my opinion, the victim here should have done a better job protecting himself. You know that when you go into corners with speed, bodies are going to bump. The priority should be to protect yourself, then the puck. In my opinion, Vesey tried to make a cute play in tight quarters with a big player bearing down on him.
Gudas played that situation properly. Vesey should have tried to poke the puck in deep, and either prepare for the hit or try to avoid it.
