Niskanen had zero interest in Crosby on the play. He was sticking to his man who peels off behind the net which is the signal for Niskanen to stop. If you insist on watching in slow motion it is clear that Crosby runs into Niskanen more than Niskanen going for Crosby.
I hate seeing star players go down but some fans need to understand that with less than half a second to think, you too would stick your hands up to avoid contact at someone sliding towards you.

I admit the first thing that came to mind when I saw the hit:
Does that make me a bad person? P.S. I completely agree with Travis.
