Nothing Like A Well-Executed Hip Check
What's better than a clean hip check, like this one by Senators defenseman Marc Methot on Coyotes winger Lucas Lessio Saturday night? A man flips upside down, falls on his ass, and doesn't get hurt. No one even tried to fight Methot after his hip check, because they knew it was flawless....
