It looked like Slaf was expecting Luff to reverse hit him or post up. Slaf went full Frankenstein

It was boarding for sure, but I can’t see a suspension. It looked like he tried to let up when Luff turned his body. It was nowhere near as dangerous as the Anderson hit.

THAT’S MY BOY.
On a serious note: Bad hit, hope the guy is ok and got no injuries from the hit.

Slaf is a bit of a crazy lad. This is going to be a wild ride.

That’s a no-no

Oof… Face first, or something that might as well have been.
Slafkovsky’s probably gonna hear from George Parros for that one.

Slaf probably thought it was a clean hit when you look at the hit he received the other night. Refs really fuck the games up when they let one team get away with everything.

Was definitely not a dirty hit, but was definitely stupid and should never happen. I think Slaf just wasn’t thinking. Really unfortunate play and situation. Luff didn’t deserve that.

Bad play for sure, probably a suspension. But it kinda looks like an accident, like Slaf doesn’t understand how big and powerful he is. Poor Luff went flying. I heard he’s injured pretty badly, that sucks.
Never turn away from a hit, but also never hit from behind near the boards, I can hold both those ideas in my head at the same time. Ultimately Slaf’s at fault, I think he sits 1-2 games depending how the wheel spins.

Doesn’t even seem like he was trying to hit him. He was trying to ride him into the boards. Luff lost his balance last second when he fanned on the dump and ended up in a dangerous position. He was gliding into him at like 5kmh. It’s not a great play, but it’s not some brutal hit like /r/hockey is making it out to be.
If Slaf was trying to hit him he’d be on a stretcher.
