Sportsnet’s Sid Seixeiro rips NHL and Tierney for ugly hit on Boeser

In case you missed the news last night, the Vancouver Canucks announced that star forward Brock Boeser is undergoing concussion protocol following an ugly hit from Ottawa Senators forward Chris Tierney.

Here is the hit in question:



Tierney was assessed a two minute boarding penalty on the hit and Boeser stayed in the game. Boeser looked to shake it off and was no worse for wear, but the Canucks announced that Boeser does have a concussion.

Earlier today Sportsnet analyst Sid Siexeiro from the Tim & Sid Show went on an absolute tirade against the Tierney for laying the hit and against the NHL for its lack of supplemental discipline.

Check it out:

This is as alarming as a pre-season can get, Sid began.[…] to have that kind of hit result in nothing but a two-minute penalty is disgusting in this league. This is what I hate the most about the National Hockey League , is how a hit like that in a nothing game from a player, and Chris Tierney, who quite frankly is life and death to make Top 12 among the lines on a roster that young, that should tell you something. To run Brock Boeser is sick to me and it’s the one thing about the National Hockey League I will never get over. In a nothing evening, a guy like Boeser, who by the way has broken a bone in his lower back before gets run from behind like this and nothing results from it, absolutely nothing except concussion protocol.
