It might not be the hardest hit of the series, but its impact could be the greatest.
Matthew Tkachuk is a crucial part of the Florida Panthers' lineup. If they were to triumph in the Stanley Cup, Tkachuk would be a strong contender for the Conn Smythe trophy. However, a significant event occurred which put his participation into question.
Keegan Kolesar's severe hit on Tkachuk forced him off the ice, sending him into the locker room to undergo concussion protocol.
The repercussions of this event are yet to be seen. It remains to be seen if the Panthers will bounce back in the series and if Tkachuk will return to the game.
Remember, in hockey, it's not over until the final whistle.
