Warren Foegele’s ugly knee-on-knee hit against Eetu Luostarinen in Game 2 had NHL fans calling for a suspension

NHL fans were fuming after this knee-on-knee hit in Game 2.

The Edmonton Oilers might be without Warren Foegele for a few Stanley Cup Final games after this nasty hit.

On Monday, the Oilers took on the Florida Panthers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, with Edmonton looking to tie the series up before it heads back to Canada. Things were sloppy and uneven in the first period, but chaos broke out at about the midway point of the frame after Foegele landed a big hit on Panthers’ forward Eetu Luostarinen.

With the Panthers just having crossed into Oilers territory, Foegele collided with Luostarinen in the middle of the ice, causing an instant scrum. Luostarinen was down on the ice for awhile but was thankfully able to get off with some help, with Foegele delivering a clearly dangerous knee-on-knee hit.

Foegele received a five-minute major and a game misconduct for the ugly hit, earning him an ejection from the game as well. A deserved punishment, but one has to wonder if NHL Player Safety will step in to deliver a suspension on top, as knee-on-knee hits are incredibly dangerous in hockey.

NHL fans, at the very least, are clamoring for Foegele to get suspended after this really bad hit on Luostarinen.
