Matt Hendricks’ Huge Open-Ice Hit on Ryan McDonagh

Matt Hendricks was in some kind of mood tonight. It’s already been the postseason of the grinders for the Washington Capitals, but Hendricks took that to a whole new level with 9 SOG and 10 hits, including one building-shaking crusher on Ryan McDonagh 4:20 into overtime. Video is below the jump.

It was the hit of the playoffs — and clean, too, though McDonagh was clearly shaken following the play.

Hendricks has not shown up on the scoreboard tonight yet, but anyone who watched the game knows that #26 was a dominating force.
