Crosby really is a dirty player. I agree in that the slash itself wasn't 'horrible', but this is exactly what can happen when you slash someone on the hands. NHL really needs to start addressing stickwork a bit better and more CONSISTENTLY. Slashing on the hands should be an automatic 2 minute penalty. Players will adjust.
Funny thing is that the NHL automatically gives a 2 minute penalty for slashing a stick and breaking it, but breaking Methot's finger results in nothing. That's not even the sad thing. The sad thing is that nobody is surprised.
