On Saturday night, the Detroit Red Wings took the ice against the New York Islanders and to say Niklas Kronwall was ready to play would be a HUGE understatement.
First, the Wings defenseman scored his first goal of the season to put give Detroit a 2-0 1st-period lead, but that is not what has Twitter going crazy.
Take a look as Kronwall absolutely destroys Anders Lee up against the boards.

Kronwall was not given a penalty for the hit, but you can bet the NHL will be taking a closer look to determine if a suspension is warranted.
