Best part is that the play continued and no scrums ensued, as it should be.

@HJYTAPOUT

love how duchene is still fliping in the air when orlav goes "hold on let me fix my helmet"

@Zackary_

This has to be one of the best hits we'll see all season

@DaManGH

I can't believe we just saw the hit of the year and it's only October

@AK472ful

DUCHENE - "I believe I can fly...".

@aksuramax

"Orlov" in Russian means "eagle" or "descendant of eagle". So, mayby he cannot fly by himself, but he can teach how to do that:)

@GalaxyGal-

Classy job by Colorado to keep that play going, as it should. Respect

@bradhuygens

And Duchene gets up like nothing even happened

@fdannn6926

How to people dislike this? its a clean classic hip check, is it dangerous? sure but that's hockey.

@Pureception

Got to love ol' school hip checks. Wish we saw defenders throw them more! Amazing hit Orly, definitely changed the tempo of the game.

@andycaines3351

That's a great adjustment by Orlov. It looked like he was turning to chase Duchene to the outside but when Duchene cut back inside he instantly hit the brakes and took him out.

@SuperRavensfan101

lol Orly sent him FLYING

@drewdawg4203

NHL 15 Physics coming into play
