Golden Knights Rally in Defense of Captain Mark Stone After Dirty Hit
After a questionable hit on Mark Stone by the LA Kings, tensions escalated between them and the Vegas Golden Knights, intensifying their rivalry.
Rising Rivalry Between Kings and Knights After They Injured Captain Stone
Last night's game between the Vegas Golden Knights and the LA Kings took a heated turn when Kings forward Hayden Hodgson took a shot at Mark Stone in the middle of the second period, leading to a major scrum on the ice.
"Hayden Hodgson absolutely runs over Mark Stone and the #GoldenKnights take exception "
In the immediate aftermath of the hit, several Knights players confronted Hodgson.
Stone commented after the game:
"That's probably the last time I'll ever play against that guy. Not really much of a player, so I'll leave it at that." - Mark Stone
Ambiguous Hit on Stone: Clean or Not?
Debate rages on about the hit. While some argue it was a straightforward play, others see it as questionable. Interestingly, many non-Golden Knights supporters seem to lean towards the hit being above board.
Beautifully executed clean hit
That's a clean hit.
I don't like how this game is devolving. Clean hit, separated the man from the puck, and everyone loses their shit. How about you keep your head up, and play on!
Wasn't it a late hit? Puck was long gone.
Do you think it was a good hit?
