Montreal was in full-scale track meet mode that period, and Gryba should have allowed Eller to blow by him on the break? Any coach in the league would sanction that hit.

I agree with you, however I actually interpreted Dreger's tweet differently. Whether true or not, I thought he was saying the socially acceptable thing to do was to allow Eller to skate by
BUT that's not how the game is played at any level...meaning nobody playing competitive hockey should pass up that hit.
If not, then wow Dreger, you're an idiot.
Now that I think about it, I think you're right. Thanks for that as I actually thought I agreed with Dreger's comment but I definitely don't. Goof.
