Again, I never said that the retaliation was "CLEAN", I said it was "PROVOKED"...not to excuse it. In neither case (Sedin or Carter) was Keith the INITIATOR of the sequence of events, and my beef was the lack of sanction, i.e. penalty against that initiator, that could have defused the need for retaliation, under the neanderthal "code", that appears to be in play, even among NHL players beyond Keith.
I truly feel that, lacking provocation, Keith does not routinely play "dirty" hockey.
