ERIC GRYBA OF Ottawa delivered a brutal hit on Lars Eller in game one of their opening round playoff series against the Canadiens last night.

Gryba’s shoulder connected with Eller’s face as he was receiving a pass from a teammate. The hit caused facial fractures and left Eller lying on the ice in a pool of his own blood. He was later carted off and taken to a hospital where he stayed overnight.

    Good question. Would it have sold-out here? Probably cheaper to fly there AND get tickets! Hahahaha

    €49.50 the cheapest available for the match in the Aviva.

    Pretty reasonable if you ask me.
