Or on the flip side, you get the Hathaway treatment after he tried to hit Ehlers 2 weeks ago. Thorburn went after him, then Chiarot came in after the whistle with this flying crosscheck to the throat.

No penalty by the way... I guess this is what teams are supposed to do in response? |
That crosscheck to the neck and the hit by Komarov are nothing alike. One is a hockey play the other is insane.
I do like how after the Flame is crosschecked in the neck the other Flame behind him is like "HEY!!!, come on!" No anger at all. In a situation like that I think it would be okay to jump the crosschecker.
