Video: Bruins’ Paille knocked out of game by Sabres’ McCabe

Chicago Blackhawks v Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins could be headed into the postseason a bit more banged up than they hoped.

Bruins forward Daniel Paille was knocked out of their 4-1 win against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon. Paille was put down on the ice after a big hit at the blue line by Sabres rookie defenseman Jake McCabe.

McCabe was given a five-minute major for interference and a game misconduct. Paille was led off the ice straight to the locker room where he did not return. Bruins coach Claude Julien did not offer an update on Paille after the game. Paille missed time with a concussion back in early March and suffered from concussion-like symptoms in December.

The debate here is if this hit was worthy of a major penalty. The better debate might be whether it was worth a penalty at all. Have a look:
