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.

Your first opinion or Dreger's tweet was correct. Dreger was stating that letting the guy go free is simply not how the game of hockey is played at any level.
Dreger is saying that the "Socially acceptable" thing to do is never done, and never should be done. It would be "socially acceptable" in that a guy wouldn't have been injured on the play.
