Gotta See It: Orlov flips Duchene with huge hip check

Watch as Dmitry Orlov sends Mat Duchene head over heels with a huge hip check.

Best part is that the play continued and no scrums ensued, as it should be.

I can't believe we just saw the hit of the year and it's only October

[Zackary_]

This has to be one of the best hits we'll see all season

[aksuramax]

"Orlov" in Russian means "eagle" or "descendant of eagle".
So, mayby he cannot fly by himself, but he can teach how to do that:)

love how duchene is still fliping in the air when orlav goes "hold on let me fix my helmet"

[AKful]

DUCHENE - "I believe I can fly...".

Classy job by Colorado to keep that play going, as it should. Respect

How to people dislike this? its a clean classic hip check, is it dangerous? sure but that's hockey.

[Pureception]

Got to love ol' school hip checks. Wish we saw defenders throw them more! Amazing hit Orly, definitely changed the tempo of the game.

[bradhuygens]

And Duchene gets up like nothing even happened

[FRSUPRA]

I thought we only see this kind of stuff in video games! Dam, awesome hit!

[andycaines]

That's a great adjustment by Orlov. It looked like he was turning to chase Duchene to the outside but when Duchene cut back inside he instantly hit the brakes and took him out.

turn the 9 upside down it's a 6 now

[payclaw]

Thanks Orlov! You brought real hockey back! :)

[tokesalot]

Wow, one of the best hip checks i've ever seen.

[CO_Yeti]

Love Dutchy, but man that was a good old fashion hip check by Orlov

Hit of the year

[willnorton]

Amazing hit but a little disappointed, won't get any better than that all year!

[Olegstuff]
