VIDEO: Capitals' Orpik delivers crushing hit on Rangers' Dan Boyle
Kim Klement / USA TODAY Sports
Hard-hitting Washington Capitals blue-liner Brooks Orpik sent Dan Boyle to the locker room for some cognitive testing late in the third period of Game 7.
Boyle struggled to his feet after the hit, slip-sliding on the ice before requiring assistance from the medical staff, but looked aware in conversation with the trainer.
Orpik's skates appeared to lift off the ice reactive to the collision, but he did make principal contact with the head of Boyle. He was not penalized on the play.
