Pierre-Luc Dubois throws controversial hit against Calgary Flames
Early in the first period last night, with a must win-game for both the Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames, the game started to become extremely physical. When skating to retrieve a loose puck in the defensive zone, Flames' defender Rasmus Andersson turns his back, and goes hard into the boards after Dubois checks him.
Andersson ends up taking a nast fall into the boards, but luckily was able to get up and continue the game. A scrum ensued around the fallen Andersson as his teammates went after Dubois for what looked to be a dirty hit.
Upon looking at the play further, some fans are divided as to whether it was an illegal check or not. Dubois undoubtedly checks Andersson in a vulnerable spot, but did so as Andersson lost balance, potentially making the play appear worse than it truly was.
Dubois has a reputation for being one of the more dirty players in the league, especially in important games like the one last night. With a 3-1 win for Calgary however, they'll keep their playoff hopes alive, while the Jets' continue to crash at the worst time.
