Watch: Leafs’ Nazem Kadri nails Tommy Wingels with cheap shot
Toronto Maple Leafs center Nazem Kadri was issued a game misconduct after nailing Tommy Wingels with a cheap shot during the third period of Game 1 between his Leafs and the Boston Bruins on Thursday.
Wingels was on his knees up against the boards as he was fighting for a puck when Kadri came up against him in a vulnerable position and checked him into the boards.
Nazem Kadri back to the penalty box for this hit on Tommy Wingels. This one is definitely bad, possibly even supplemental bad. pic.twitter.com/tZ3HI1SBNY

That was nothing short of a dirty hit.
Kings defenseman Drew Doughty was suspended one game for a much more innocent check, so you can only imagine what kind of discipline the league will hand down on this one.
