Just because he calls it "keying on," "finishing our checks" and "making it no fun," it doesn't mean he wasn't talking about slashing the hands.
"Johnny Gaudreau faced a few of those hacks tonight. Did you guys take exception to that? Were you disappointed to see it a little bit?"
"I mean... whenever you're a great player, you're going to get keyed on. We do it too. We talk about their top players, and making sure we finish our checks. Making sure we make it no fun for them. So, we have to respond and not let that happen. That being said, it is going to happen once in a while, and I do it to other teams' top players too, but we've also got to do a better job of making sure our presence is felt when something like that does happen."
