GIF: Blackhawks' Hossa takes hit from Kings' Brown, gives Brown the worst of it

In the third period of Sunday afternoon's Western Conference final game between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Los Angeles Kings, Marian Hossa was skating with the puck in his own end and, with the Blackhawks holding on to a one-goal lead, attempting to make a play that would lead to the puck being safely cleared out of Chicago's zone.

Kings captain Dustin Brown, meanwhile, was lining Hossa up for several feet and planned on delivering a knockout blow behind the Blackhawks net. As Brown braced for the hit, Hossa anticipated the contact; he caught Brown shoulder to shoulder, and ensured that the Kings' heavy-hitting captain got the worst of the collision:

The way Hossa stares Brown down post contact? Probably the best part.
