From what I saw in the replay at the game, it looked like Lauzon kicked the legs out from under Hughes. I might have to watch I it again but it looked like a slew foot up against the boards
Yup. It was a slewfoot. Maybe not going to draw league attention, but certainly qualifies under their definitions.

Even Ruff said it was a clean hit. I think it looks like his feet got kicked out because he basically got body slammed by the force and they lifted out from under him. It's unfortunate and I won't argue anyone that wants to debate that the force was excessive and unnecessary, but a slew foot it was not.
He is the coach, he needs his guys to play on, its what coaches do.
But it was a slewfoot.

Here's a better look at it
Lauzon definitely kicks the left leg of Hughes however I don't think they'll consider it a slewfoot. It's more of Lauzon body slamming Hughes which caused the injury
Anytime you get your legs under another player, and pull back on the top of that player, it is a slewfoot.
To me, this is the classic definition of slewfoot. This angle confirms it.
Not sure it is worth a suspension or anything, but it is 100% slewfoot.
Hopefully it will be only a few weeks for Hughes.
