(VIDEO): There are clean hits, then there are these.

Hockey is already one of the most dangerous sports to play on earth. The speed, the physicality, it all spells danger for the players. It is also why we love the game, as it makes for the greatest sport on the planet. Unfortunately, from time to time players augment the chances for injury by laying stupid checks like this one. Anaheim Ducks forward Pat Maroon absolutely took the feet out from under Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Brent Seabrook in Friday night's action. It is a blatant slew-foot as he forces Seabrook backwards, while simultaneously kicking his legs out from behind him. The NHL needs to get this right, as this definitely needs to be looked at. There ws absolutely no need for this.
