He was when the Leafs drafted, and therefore ruined him.

boarding is when you run a guy from behind into the boards.

when Kadri ran over Henrick Kyper and Elliot talked alot about what constitutes a legal hit... they agreed that blindside hits are perfectly legal...

No, Merrill. Jon Merrill #7. Merrill, not Kostka.

Rule 48. Checking from Behind
A check from behind is a check delivered on a player who is not aware of the impending hit, therefore UNABLE TO DEFEND HIMSELF, and contact is made on the back part of the body. When a player intentionally turns his body to create contact with his back, no penalty shall be assessed
(a) Any player who cross-checks, pushes or charges from behind an opponent who is unable to defend himself, shall be assessed a major and a game misconduct. This penalty applies anywhere on the playing surface.


Unreal that this needs to be posted.

Hit from behind and blindside hit aren't the Same thing. It's specifically in the rule book.

Yes, "boarding" is hitting from behind into the boards. When one says "hitting from behind" they are referring to boarding. Probably.

No they did not.

In fact leagues have stiffened penalties for it. Added the stop sign on jerseys.
