«No,» said
@FlaPanthers
coach Paul Maurice today. «It was just a collision. In a perfect world, every team has everybody healthy. Nobody likes to see him get hurt.»
The hit on Marchand appears to be in a gray area, displaying elements of both a clean hit and undeniable intent. It's possible that the NHL's department of player safety may review the incident.
