Colorado Avalanche's Josh Manson Deliberately Lands Dirty Stick Hit on Connor Bedard

During the game last night between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Colorado Avalanche, Connor Bedard received a dirty stick hit on the arm from Josh Manson.


That's intent to injure. There is no other explanation. There will be no fine or suspension (lol), but Manson knows exactly what he's doing. The league should punish this stuff because it's clear what he's doing and there's no reason for it. That's not hockey.



Luke Richardson, the Blackhawks' coach, praised Bedard's toughness, a quality some think he lacks:

Connor will whack him back. He's not afraid to.


Bedard, as one of the youngest stars in the league, is bound to be targeted by his opponents. Do you think Manson should be punished by the NHL for his dirty play?
