Brad Marchand busts open Viktor Arvidsson on Saturday.
Brad Marchand goes up high on Viktor Arvidsson and leaves him a bloody mess on the bench.
Los Angeles Kings forward Viktor Arvidsson did not look very happy while he was getting repairs on the bench.
On Saturday, during a clash between the Los Angeles Kings and Boston Bruins, Arvidsson was busted open when he was caught up high with what looked like an errant elbow from Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand. Marchand appeared to have misjudged the angle of a potential hit on Arvidsson, catching him up high in the mouth with his arm/elbow as he tried to adjust and make the hit.
Arvidsson was cut open on the play and had to get some repairs on the bench after being struck by Marchand, but he seemed particularly unhappy about the fact that there had been no call. There were a pair of National Hockey League officials staring in the direction of Arvidsson when the hit was made, and clearly Arvidsson felt that one, if not both, of their arms should have gone up.
Despite that there was no call on the play so. unless the NHL's Department of Player Safety decides to step in, Marchand gets away scot-free for now.
