NHL fans react to Dylan Strome's controversial moment

It was a night to forget for Washington Capitals fans.

According to House of Hockey, Thompson was hurt after accidentally being run into by teammate Dylan Strome immediately after Montreal's Juraj Slafkovský slipped the puck past him for a 5-3 Canadiens lead in the 3rd period.

Strome inadvertently cross-checked Logan Thompson up high as he was attempting to stop from running into him. He remained down on the ice for several moments before being tended to by a team trainer, and he required the assistance of his teammates to help get him off the ice.

Now, forward Dylan Strome has been the recipient of unfair criticisms from both Capitals and Canadiens fans as they take to social media to voice their frustration.

While Dylan Strome's controversial back-check was completely unintentional, it hasn't stopped fans from voicing their frustrations online.

The fact that people are personally attacking Dylan Strome for the incident is completely unfair and unacceptable.

Hockey is easily one of the fastest-paced sports in the world, and sometimes, unfortunate incidents like this are impossible to avoid.

As fans anxiously wait for updates on Logan Thompson, the focus now shifts to Dylan Strome, who will need to move past the situation and lock in for a pivotal Game 4.

In my opinion, Dylan Strome shouldn't be blamed for what happened.

Caps Nation should continue to stand firmly behind their star forward, offering full support for what is undoubtedly a tough moment for him.
