Bob Frid-Imagn Images Bob Frid-Imagn Images Plenty of Detroit Red Wings fans still wish that the club hadn’t traded defenseman Filip Hronek. He skated in the top defense pairing with the Vancouver Canucks again this season.
Hronek was anticipating doing the same for Czechia in the upcoming IIHF World Championship, but now that opportunity is looking to be tenuous at best. The video: pic. twitter.

Seppälä then proceeded to use his right hand to slam Hronek’s head down into the ice. Hronek was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Friday. As the team awaited results, there were conflicting reports on Hronek’s status.
