clownish hit?

“All I can tell you is my observations of the hit,” Gillis said. “I didn’t see the puck around him. I thought the Boston player used a can opener and drove him with enough force into the board to break his back.”

Raymond was on the first shift of Boston’s 5-2 victory, which forced a decisive Game 7 Wednesday night in Vancouver. He lay on the ice for several minutes before being helped off and taken to the hospital on a stretcher.

Gillis wasn’t sure why Raymond wasn’t taken off the ice on a stretcher, but pointed out that he moved his feet while still on the ice. And the Canucks’ general manager refused to comment on the fact no penalty was called, and no supplementary discipline is coming from the NHL.

“I’m not the right person to ask about that,” Gillis said.

Raymond got spun around with Boychuk’s stick between his legs as they went into the corner after the puck went by them. Raymond ended up with his head down between Boychuk’s legs as he delivered Raymond backward into the boards, leaving him face down on the ice as play went on.

Mike Murphy(notes), who is in charge of NHL discipline for the Stanley Cup finals because Colin Campbell’s son, Gregory, plays for the Bruins, confirmed in an email to The Associated Press that there would be no suspension.

“We do not feel this play requires discipline,” Murphy wrote. “It was an awkward collision that caused Raymond’s injury. Very unfortunate.”
