Jeff Skinner was cleared to return back to the Carolina Hurricanes’ lineup after missing 16 games due to a concussion suffered earlier in the season. However in his 2nd game back, midway through the 3rd period, Brooks Orpik of the Pittsburgh Penguins, delivered what looked to be a clean shoulder to shoulder bone crushing hit on Jeff Skinner. Orpik was assessed a 2 minute interference penalty on the play. Fortunately, Skinner was checked over by a physician away from the bench and returned back to the ice roughly 5 minutes later to finish the game for the Canes.

 

Here is that hit:

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
