Yah a slowed down replay makes it look malicious. But has anybody every just had their bell run? Vision is weak, he's trying to change and isn't focused. Sees body rapidly approaching and throws hands up in defense. Looks worse than it was, no way anybody who has played more than novice hockey would intentionally do that.
And I'm sick of guys here just sewering wides. 56 points last year, and battled his ass off in the playoffs, was essentially our "playoff captain" (maybe Russ too) while gio was injured. And now everyone just wants to run this guy out of town. I get its a salary cap world and he's a vet trending down, but hell I've seen cp defend sarichs plug play for half a decade because of one hit on marleau in 07 or whenever. Give me a break. He might be having a tough year (along with half the damn team...) but don't tell me he doesn't care or he's a completely worthless player.
