In a post-game statement, Chicago Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson didn't hold back in criticizing Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo for a hit on former Bruins player Taylor Hall that left Hall injured.
Richardson described the hit as a "blindside hit," emphasizing that it was a player crossing the ice. He also mentioned that such hits are what the game is striving to eliminate, highlighting the ongoing efforts to make the sport safer for all players.
