Dirty Hit To The Head Set To Lead To A Major Suspension
In the midst of a heated matchup between the Penguins and the Jets, forward Noel Acciari found himself on the receiving end of a bone-crushing hit from Jets defenseman Brendan Dillon.
The hit, delivered in the open ice of the neutral zone, has sparked intense debate online, with many labeling it as dirty. However, upon closer inspection, it appears Acciari was caught off guard with his head down as Dillon executed a textbook shoulder check with proper form.
Despite this, the looming question remains: will Dillon face disciplinary action from NHL Player Safety? The evolution of hockey's reaction to such hits is a topic of ongoing discussion.
