Alex Pietrangelo Continues His Dirty Ways With a Slew-foot

Alex Pietrangelo of the Vegas Golden Knights continues to showcase his aggressive style on the ice, leaving opponents reeling with his "dirty" tactics.

In the second round of the playoffs, Pietrangelo drew attention for his lumberjack-like slash on Leon Draisaitl, leaving the forward shaken.

Now, in round three against the Dallas Stars, Pietrangelo has taken his controversial play to a new level by slew-footing opponents. Unfortunately, one Stars forward fell victim to this dangerous maneuver, though luckily he landed on his back and not his head.

Slew-footing is a frowned-upon and risky play in hockey, often leading to severe head injuries. As Pietrangelo continues to push boundaries, it raises concerns about player safety and the need for stricter enforcement of such actions on the ice.
