Will Cuylle’s thunderous hit epitomizes his physical play that’s become Rangers spark
NY Post
Will Cuylle’s hit could be felt in the stands, through the television screen, even through an iPhone.
It was that vicious.
The Rangers winger nailed Alex Pietrangelo during the third period of the team’s win over the Golden Knights on Sunday, sending him flying in the air with one of the best open-ice hits anyone will see all year.
It was legal, at least in the referees’ eyes, with no penalty being called.
Nicolas Hague immediately made a beeline to Cuylle and challenged him to a fight, and Cuylle quickly obliged.
It sent the Madison Square Garden crowd into a tizzy and fired up his teammates, and the Rangers scored just a few minutes later to extend their lead to 4-2.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
