It's just a rule of the sport that if someone throws a hit on your star player, someone has to answer the bell. This hit by Dryden Hunt wasn't predatory or anything, but it brought the home crowd in Denver to their feet.
Tomas Nosek rose to the occasion, but it didn't end well for him. Hunt landed a couple of doozies on him, knocking him to his stomach rather quickly.
