Second, Sedin wasn't hurt on the play.
Byron needs to make that play every time. 99/100 times it doesn't lead to a guy even going down to the ice, let alone getting stretchered off.

Besides, he turned his back towards Byron right before the hit. I think a player also has a responsibility not to put himself in a vulnerable position when he knows he's about to get hit.
