It really sucks. I have Crosby in my pool, and it sucks. But it wasn't dirty. A bang-bang unfortunate play. I hope for a speedy recovery is all you can really say.

Why wouldn't it be an intentional crosscheck?
It was 100% intentional. Not malicious, and clearly unfortunate in how it ended up.
But absolutely it was intentional. He could've just let Crosby slide by (as the puck was now going the other way), he could've absorbed the impact. But he chose to give him a pretty generic shot. He intended to hit him, and he succeeded.
