I don't know anything about hockey, but I understand violence. And this hit by Niklas Kronwell on Radek Bonk in last night's Stanley Cup playoffs game--only on Versus for the next four months!--is unrestrained, gleeful violence of the first rank.
Hockey is tough. How tough? As savage as the hit was, the Predators' coach thought the hit was clean. That's a clean hit in hockey. The dirty ones would make an Aussie Rules Football player cry like a scalded dog.
