Editor’s note: NESN.com Bruins reporter Douglas Flynn will interview an NHL player each week to discuss the finer points of the game.
Johnny Boychuk knows how to deliver a good, clean body check. Just ask Steven Stamkos or Simon Gagne. Or Matt Stajan. Or any other players on a growing list of victims of Boychuk body checks.

See the video above to hear Boychuk explain that science.
