Karlsson sends Leddy to the ice

Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson lays a big hit on Islanders defenseman Nick Leddy that sends him to the ice during the second period.

It's a thing of beauty, reminds me of Rob Blake's hip checks.

karlsson is the best defenseman in the league

[grvin]

Even as an islander fan, i must say that was a sick hit

[TjMinutillo]

That was beautiful coming from an islanders fan

Idk why so many people say don't give Karlsson the credit he deserves just because he "can't play defence". I'd take Karlsson over any other defenceman in the league. Give me a smooth skating, high hockey IQ d-man that puts up basically a point per game? Hell fuckin yeah.

Someone need to post Ek on Hayes great hit

[Blinsten]

haterz gonna hate. Karlsson is the best defenseman in the nhl

All karlsson had to do to send leddy flying was get a body on him, which he did. With someone coming up the ice like leddy was, a bump was all that was needed. Great play by Karlsson

Everybody needs to calm down. He lays a big hit on defense and now all of a sudden hes good defensively.

[chochfisher]

"Erik Karlsson sucks defensively. He's only good offensively"

[josht]

and they say he shouldnt win a norris..

No suspension??? Wtf clear hit to the head and the league let's it slide... If it were Subban or Webber he'd probably been ejected from the game
