I think there needs to be a distinction between guys of the Sean Avery rat school of ######baggery and guys from the Matt Cooke school of limiting careers. And I guess guys of the Brad Marchand school of both, but those seem to be few and far between.
Also the hit wasn't even that bad. Yeah, high hit, penalty, but it wasn't an elbow, it was pretty much just hands riding up and hitting McDonagh in the head area. I don't get the "wasn't even trying to play the puck"... it's called hockey guys, you're allowed to go for the hit and ignore the puck when the guy you're hitting has it.

Coming from the guy who jumped to Burrows defence when he got run over a few games ago....
