Ole-Kristian Tollefsen has been called “The Norwegian Nightmare” for his physical, and frequently injurious, play. You may remember him from the Olympics, playing defense for the NORGE. He also spent five years in the NHL with the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Philadelphia Flyers from 2005-10. He played 163 games. He earned 296 penalty minutes.

Now played for Färjestad BK in the SHL, Tollefsen showed he’s still got the touch in a recent game against HV71. The “touch” in this case being the ability to blindside a player with a head shot.

As former New Jersey Devils forward Mattias Tedenby was lunging for a pass near the Färjestad net, Tollefsen charged at him. Tedenby was eligible to be hit on the play; but as he bent down to reach for the puck, Tollefsen skated through him, connecting with his head. Tedenby hit the ice, but would continue to play in the game.

There was no penalty on the play. But the SHL decided to give Tollefsen supplemental discipline: eight games, two of which were “converted to fines” according to Sportsbladet. Tollefsen was a repeat offender, having been suspended last January for six games.

As Hockey Vilson notes, the SHL has a new “situation room” that looks at player safety incidents and recommends action to the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation’s Disciplinary Committee.

Now, what does this hit get in the NHL?
