‘Whitecloud left his feet to make hit, deserved 5-minute major’: Boudreau on hit to Knies
TSN Hockey analyst Bruce Boudreau joins SC with Jay Onrait to share his thoughts on Zach Whitecloud’s hit on Matthew Knies, which forced Knies to leave Wednesday night’s game against the Golden Knights, and explains why he thinks the hit is worthy of a suspension.

LOL. All of those people came from outside Ontario – talk to Trudeau
Too bad Bruce got it wrong because now leaf muppets have a guy that can lean on and say he's right.
Skates were still on the ice at the point of contact. Slo-mo doesn't lie. Clean hit in my book.
Dirtcloud strikes again…
NHL refs need accountability, bare minimum to at least be forced to explain such massively obvious biased officiating. Since betting has become a thing on these games, the pre-determined outcome as decided by the referees has made NHL hockey unwatchable.
Can’t wait until incorruptible cameras are used to make these calls instead of the current hamburglar losers taking up space on the ice.
Bruce has always been a beauty
Bruce, better get to Spec Savers. The skates were on the ice during contact. Clean hit.
Leafs player got tuned up to be sure…Vegas player had a Neanderthal adrenaline rush…
Looks clean to me. Sure, he might have left his foot, but the other one left the ice because of the hit.
From a diehard life long Leaf fan…His feet were on the ice when they initially connected. His elbow was down until after contact. Play the fkicing game and keep your head up.
I agree 100% what Bruce said here. He left his feet. That shows intention of him wanting to annihilate Knies. It wasn't a clean fair check.
Reaves threw the exact same hit and got a 5 game suspension. What do the leafs get when its a hit ion one of their's? An injured playeer, no major penalty against Whitecloud but the leafs do get a power play – which they need to kill off ! WTF
Just remember whitecloud…..next time we play you revo will be in the game…gl with that.😊
He didn't leave his feet. Boudreau is an asshat.
Clean hit. Leafs homers should watch basketball or soccer if hockey is too rough for them
Um.. his arm is tucked the whole way…. sorry Knies is so small…. What is he supposed to do? The right call.
Left his feet after the hit. Clean. Everyone who doesn’t think so is biased, soft, or both.
I mean, questionable hit, but the way leafs media is crying is really getting ridiculous.
TSN, left his feet? His feet only came off the ice after impact. If you understood kinetic energy, you would understand at impact momentum changes. That energy has to go somewhere before it stops. Leaving your feet to hit someone occurs BEFORE impact.
Good non call. They have to take hitting out of the game if thats a penalty
