Vote: Was Marc-Andre Bergeron’s Hit on David Krejci in Game 3 of the Bruins-Lightning Series Clean? (Video)

Dirty or clean — it's been the hot debate all season long in the hockey world.

On Thursday night in Tampa Bay, while the Bruins were on their way to taking a 2-1 series lead over the Lightning in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final, the Bolts' Marc-Andre Bergeron lit up David Krejci with a first period, blind-side hit, sending the center to the ice, where he struggled to get back to his feet.

Bergeron received a penalty for elbowing and Krejci, who had scored the game's first and only goal in the first period, played through any pain he may have sustained. While the hit was gruesome (for B's fans), was it legal? Krejci did have his head down, but was it a clean hit? Watch the video and vote below.
