Ugly moment unfolds regarding a former Blackhawks fan favorite that may lead to a suspension
Debating the Check: Coyle vs. Former Blackhawk Hagel
In the first period of the recent clash between the Boston Bruins and the Tampa Bay Lightning, all eyes were on the rink as the Bruins found themselves on a penalty kill. With limited options in the offensive zone, Brad Marchand opted for a strategic move, dumping the puck into Tampa Bay's defensive territory.
The puck smoothly glided along the boards, eventually finding its way to former Blackhawk Brandon Hagel positioned behind the net. The intensity escalated when Charlie Coyle, displaying determined pursuit, delivered a notable hit on Hagel, immediately grabbing the spotlight.
However, this hit didn't come without its fair share of controversy. As Coyle executed the check, Hagel made a quick turn, showing his numbers to Coyle and resulting in what appeared to be a hit from behind.
The aftermath of this collision has stirred speculation within the hockey community regarding potential consequences for Coyle, with the looming possibility of a suspension.
