Controversial announcement from the Maple Leafs regarding the player who caused the alarming scene during the intra-squad game
We were talking about it yesterday, we witnessed a very unusual scene during the latest intra-squad game of the Toronto Maple Leafs' prospects.
A scene that caused quite a stir.
One of the organization's top prospects, Roni Hirvonen, a second-round pick in 2020, was gratuitously demolished at center ice.
He was very stunned. Review the images:
In short, many fans and experts have severely criticized the prospect who caused this solid contact.
"There's no reason for Nolan Dillingham to do that in an intra-squad game, especially at the expense of one of the Leafs' top prospects. That's how you lose a contract, not how you earn one."
There is new information
The Maple Leafs have just announced that not only will there be no sanction for Nolan Dillingham, but they have also defended him by saying it was a perfectly "clean" hit.
Let's just say we were not expecting that.
Hayley Wickenheiser announces that Roni Hirvonen has suffered a concussion and will need time to recover. She called it a "clean hit."
