During a recent hockey game, Matt Rempe of the New York Rangers delivered a significant hit on Ilya Lyubushkin, nicknamed the 'Russian Bear', of the Leafs. The incident was noted by several observers, with descriptions ranging from an 'earth-shattering hit' to Rempe 'crushing' Lyubushkin into the corner boards. The event occurred shortly after a controversial call against the Leafs, involving a play by Knies which was criticized as a 'soft call'.
