Luke Schenn Completely Destroys Brady Tkachuk
Kyle Dubas made a big move by trading for Luke Schenn at the last trade deadline.
The defenseman brings the grit that was missing in the Leafs' lineup for playoff success.
He proved it yesterday during the 3-0 win against the Senators when he leveled Sens' captain Brady Tkachuk.
Schenn Accused of Dangerous Knee-on-knee Collision on Tkachuk
As you can see in this video, the hit appears to be dangerous:
Knee-on-knee collisions often result in injuries and suspensions, but after reviewing the replay, it is evident that Schenn's upward trajectory and follow-through to complete his check indicated that the hit was clean.
Brady Tkachuk was trying to brace himself for the impact but extended his leg which resulted in the unintentional knee contact.
Fortunately, Brady Tkachuk remained in the game and didn't miss a shift. Let's hope Schenn will bring the same energy when the playoffs come!
