Everything seems to happen on the ice in the blink of an eye. Those split-second decisions, subtle moves and location all can come into play and result in some pretty disastrous results.At least part of the rapid nature of the game played a role in the hit that ended up sending forward to the hospital in excruciating pain.In the second Willie Henry Jersey period between the Stars and , McKenzie received a pa s in the neutral zone. His back was facing the direction he needed to go, so he attempted to spin his body around to get into the Lightnings zone. Before he could really even turn, he was met by Tampa defenseman Nikita Nesterov, who lowered his shoulder and plowed McKenzie into Christan Bullock Jersey the boards face-first.Here's the play:McKenzie immediately reacted in pain, while a large scrum formed around the Lightning blueliner. When the dust settled, McKenzie was helped off the ice, while Nesterov received a five-minute major and a game misconduct for checking from behind. He could also be subject to supplemental discipline.The Stars, who were leading 3-1 at the time of the hit, managed to score one goal on the ensuing power play to extend their lead. Tampa Bay made things interesting with back-to-back goals in the third period, but scored to help secure a 5-3 win for the Stars.After the game, head coach Lindy Ruff provided a McKenzie update to the media. It wasn't a good one. Lindy Ruff said Curtis McKenzie was taken to hospital. Didn't say what injury was, only Austin Davis Jersey said McKenzie was in "excruciating pain." Mark Stepneski (@StarsInsideEdge) Ruff also said that he believes Nesterov should be suspended, Nesterov could be suspended, especially considering there could be a serious injury on the play. The Lightning blue liner was undoubtedly anticipating McKenzie was going to try to make the turn to get around him and just buried him instead. Problem is, McKenzie is not eligible to be hit in this situation. Michael Schofield Jersey His back is still turned to Nesterov which means the Bolts defenseman has to find another way to stop him.That is what the Department of Player Safety is going to have to take a long look at. I learned the hard way last year that theres really no sense in gue sing whether there will be discipline or not. I do think, however, this is a play that warrants further scrutiny and po sibly a phone hearing.UPDATE: Nesterov does indeed have a hearing Michigan Wolverines Jersey with the NHL's Department of Player Safety: Tampa Bay's Nikita Nesterov will have a hearing today for boarding/checking from behind on Dallas's Curtis McKenzie.
