Clean hit and it’s hockey 101. Keep your head up and aware of your surroundings. Hard hits are a part of hockey and intimidation. Back in the day I would have never let up on someone in that position. Good hard hockey. The fight after is dumb, agreed, clean hits are a part of the game.

Even if it was a Flames player receiving the hit, I’d say keep your head up. Even if it is a predatory hit(Trouba or any player looking to line someone up), it was clean. Nothing wrong with assessing the play/player and looking for a big check.
