Zach Hyman viciously sends Quinn Hughes into the boards
The NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are very well known for their increase in emotions, intensity and physicality. When you mix these three factors with a good old Canadian rivalry, it can sometimes lead to plays crossing the line.
In the Canucks versus Oilers' very first period of play, the Oilers' forward Zach Hyman delivered a very questionable hit on the Canucks' captain Quinn Hughes. He came into the captain's dead angle and assaulted him in the back.
