Charlie Coyle Throws A Controversial Hit On Tampa Bay's Star Forward
During the first period, with the Boston Bruins on a penalty kill, anticipation heightened as they embarked on a rush.
Brad Marchand, lacking a play, opted to dump the puck into Tampa Bay's defensive zone.
The puck danced along the boards, finding its way to Brandon Hagel behind the net. Charlie Coyle, in hot pursuit, intensified the moment with a hit on Hagel that quickly became the focal point.
The hit, however, was not without controversy. As Coyle went for the check, Hagel turned, presenting his numbers to Coyle, resulting in a hit from behind.
Speculation looms over potential repercussions for Coyle, possibly in the form of a suspension.
