Scary scene in Buffalo after Brady Tkachuk lays a gutless hit from behind on Jason Zucker
Zucker was helped off the ice and is reportedly awake and will make a full recovery.
There are moments when I absolutely love Brady Tkachuk... and then there are moments like the one fans witnessed in Buffalo this evening.
Sometimes the Ottawa Senators' antics can be difficult to defend, even for the most ardent of Sens supporters.
Early in the 1st period of tonight's game between the Senators and Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo, the Sens' captain absolutely ran Sabres forward Jason Zucker from behind, hitting Zucker head and neck first into the glass and sideboards.
Check it out:
That's a textbook hit from behind delivered right on the numbers.
The penalty from veteran official Wes McCauley? Two minutes for charging.
Yeesh...
The thing of it is that the worst might actually still be to come. Currently the Sabres are running away with this game 4-0 and if history is any indication then you can bet that Tkachuk will be looking to take a pound of flesh by the time the final buzzer rings out.
