Vegas Golden Knights Captain takes major shot at young player after big hit

Instead, after being dealt a massive hit on the ice which resulted in a scuffle between several players, the captain of the Vegas Golden Knights, Mark Stone has instead taken a major shot at the young player that laid the hit on him.

While some would call it punching down, others would say it was a fair reaction after the big hit on the ice, and now, it may cause even further tension between two fantastic Pacific Division rivals.

The hit in question was laid down by Hayden Hodgson, and while it looks late, Stone is still handling the puck, but at this time of year, even fighting for a roster spot, this type of move just isn't necessary.

Both teams will now be on high alert the next time they meet, and whether or not Hodgson plays a regular season game in the NHL, you've got to admit it's a great shot from the captain.
