Video: Patrick Marleau lays huge blindside hit on Bryan Rust

Patrick Marleau waited a very long time to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals, and while scoring a goal was a nice treat, he made his mark in a completely different way.

I know many Penguins fans will disagree, but it didn’t look like Marleau’s hit was malicious. No extension of his arms at all and he barely even looked his way during the hit. If anything it came off like an accident. Rust was injured during the play and taken to the quiet room.

No additional discipline will be sent Marleau’s way by the league.
