Disgusting crosscheck, Landeskog is a pretty dirty player so good to see the NHL take notice again.

He was previously suspended 2 for this:

Still can't believe they gave this kid captaincy.

Just a shame that the league missed Despres' check to Smid last year that nearly ended his career.

Cosmic balance?

Nasty crosscheck but I'd still take him on my team anytime. That's the type of player we need, a power forward with skill and nastiness.

I was watching the game at the time. They showed the replay and went to commercial, when they came back Colorado was on the powerplay. The ref called a penalty on Anaheim a second after this happened and missed the crosschek.

Yup, the kid is awesome.

I don't know why, but since watching Mr. Robot, all I think of when I hear his full name is "Gabehcuod"

Doesn't look like a cross-check to me. Shoulder/Elbow to the head, but not a cross-check. Still dirty though.

Think you watched the wrong video, AC's second post is in reference to a previous suspension Landeskog was given

He did it to the right guy though. Some kind of payback maybe?
