Big hit from Abdelkader sends Scandella airborne.

Just on a quick little side note, the fact that a player gets challenged nearly every time he delivers a solid clean hit continues to be one of the most annoying trends in the National Hockey League.

With that little rant out of the way, Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader delivered a beauty of hit on Friday night when he caught Minnesota Wild defenseman Marco Scandella trying to cut across the ice as he carried the puck out of his own end.

The hit sent Scandella airborne, and got the attention of both the crowd and the broadcast crew, but unfortunately it also resulted in a stoppage of play and an eventual 4 on 4 as a result of the aforementioned trend of a player getting challenged after a clean hit.
