In Olympics everything is called, bigger surface, less stick work, less physical.
The most important fact is that those are the best players in the world, their game is to make amazing plays.
NHL is littered with knuckleheads of substandard skills, so they hack and slash and hit the talented players because everyone wants to make money.
According to Burke, star players these days are abused way more since the introduction of instigator penalty.
TV guys said that first game of the season Seabrook will have to answer.
However, Backes did hit Seabrook from behind and his head went into glass so perhaps they are even.
