Speaking of Wotherspoon I want to address this comment since it is about the only one about the hit, even though I am about a week late. I do not blame the poster since I am not sure what they said on the Heat radio broadcast as I only saw it on AHL live with the Barons feed.

This was
NOT a hit from behind. It was
NOT an illegal hit. The hit was a hard,
100% clean hit. Eager drove his shoulder into Wotherspoon's chest immediately after he released a pass, the back of his head hit the glass then he went down like a ton of bricks hitting his head/face on the ice. Eager stopped in his tracks after the hit and motioned for help.
