Listening to the comments from the Pens, and they keep referring to the Orpik hit as "clean". It doesn't justify what happened, but am I missing something? In what world was Orpik's hit clean? He levelled a player that never touched the puck, that's a dirty hit. (Although I do think Orpik thought he'd have the puck when he hit him, but still doesn't change the fact the hitter has to be responsible to assure that is so before you cream someone)
