Jakub Voracek sustained a heavy hit from Detroit Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall who was booed by the crowd at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday. The Flyers won the game 3-2 but Voracek became one of the players who've been "Kronwalled," with the bone-crushing hit.

"Guys have got to start being ready for it," Red Wings forward Johan Franzen said. "They've got to know when he's out there. He tries to keep it as clean as he can, but when a guy is skating with his head down and his head forward, it's hard to miss. He steps up. He keeps it clean. He's got his arm down. He's trying to hit with his whole body."

As Voracek was about the hit the puck, Kronwall hit him full body so it didn't result in a hearing.

"The way I felt about it at the time, he was coming up along the boards, and I took a stride forward," Kronwall said.

Flyers Claude Giroux called it a "good hit" saying, "I didn't really see it either, if it was a head shot or not, but Kronwall is pretty good at those hits."

"The game happens so fast out there," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. "It's a defensemen stepping up on a forward. It was hard to tell, when you go back and look at it, it was clearly the head, which is tough. That's the area that's supposed to be safer this year and he got popped right on it."
