Disaster in Dallas: Matt Dumba totally destroyed Joe Pavelski
Playoff hockey is all about toughness! We never like to see a player lying on the ice, but a good, hard-hitting check makes for a good show.
In the first matchup between the Minnesota Wild and the Dallas Stars, we had both scenarios on the same sequence. Matt Dumba gave Joe Pavelski a hard check, but he was left lying on the ice, completely stunned.
Pavelski had a hard time getting to the dressing room, losing his balance with each skate. As for Dumba, the defenseman got off with a two-minute roughing infraction.
