Flyers don't take kindly to Kronwall's big hit

As can be expected, the Philadelphia Flyers didn’t take kindly to the Niklas Kronwall hit on Jakub Voracek in Tuesday’s second period.
It was a hard collision along the boards, and Voracek didn’t return to the game after the hit.
“I wanted to puke,” Flyers forward Danny Briere said. “When you see someone lay on the ice like that. I haven’t seen the replay of the hit, I don’t know if the hit was targeted or if it was a clean check. It’s still not fun to see when you’re on the ice and you see someone laying there shaking. It was a bad feeling in everybody’s stomach.”
Flyers forward Max Talbot said the team did use the hit as motivation.
“Well, we answered back. It is always frustrating and until you see the replay, you don’t know how dirty it was,” Talbot said. “Dirty or not, it is frustrating for guys in this dressing room to see a hit like this happen. You never want to see a guy go down. Obviously a lot of guys wanted to see (Niklas) Kronwall and he didn’t want to answer for his act. It is something that he thought was a clean hit so you can’t blame the guy. At the same time it is frustrating for us.”
Said Flyers forward Claude Giroux: “I didn’t see it, just the replay. It was a good hit and I didn’t really see it either if it was a head shot or not but Kornwall is pretty good at those hits. Obviously we hope Jake is gonna be okay.”
Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said: “”It was a tough hit, he (Voracek) took it right in the head. It was frustrating because he’s having a terrific year, and he’s a terrific player for us and it’s substantial when you’re battling through a lot of injuries and you’re dealing with it and you take a hit like that. It’s tough and you hope he’s alright and you hope he bounces back quick
“The game happens so fast out there. It’s a defensemen stepping up on a forward. It was hard to tell, when you go back and look at it, it was clearly the head which is tough. That’s the area that’s supposed to be safer this year and he got popped right on it.”
