Game 3 of the Penguins and Capitals series Monday night was memorable for one hit, the one that forced Sidney Crosby to leave the game.

After taking an ugly fall, Crosby got cross-checked in the head by Matt Niskanen.

Niskanen was thrown out of the game, and fans instantly gave their opinions on what they saw.

Fans weren't the only ones that had very different opinions on the hit, though.

After the game, players and coaches were asked about the hit, and their opinions differ, too.

On the other side of the spectrum, here are Chris Kunitz and Mike Sullivan's thoughts on the hit:

Finally, Jake Guentzel weighed on the hit and he perfectly sums how many fans are probably thinking:

You really never know in a situation like this, but at the end of the day, everyone just hopes Crosby is fine and will be back for Game 4.

As for Niskanen, it doesn't look like he'll be getting suspended for the hit.
