Breaking: Colton Parayko knocks Byron out with a vicious hit!

St.Louis Blues defenseman Colton Parayko delivered a dirty hit on Montreal Canadiens forward Paul Byron on Tuesday night. Byron was chasing the puck in St.Louis territory when Parayko pushed him in the numbers, and Byron fell awkwardly in the boards.

Parayko was assessed a five minutes major penalty for boarding on the play. Byron left and did not return. His shoulder took the worst of the hit, so we'll see if he'll miss some time.

The Blues won this game by a score of 3-1.

What's your call? Should Parayko be suspended for this hit? Or do you think he'll get at least a fine?
