Yes, I get it. A number of people here are trying to one-up each other on the hyperbole train. But that's immaterial. He's going to keep getting smeared into the boards if he keeps putting himself into position to get smeared into the boards. Maybe this was just the one time it happens. Either as a fluke, or because Pettersson adapts to avoid having it happen again. And in that event, it's all moot. If he doesn't, or if he feels he needs to take the chance of getting creamed to make a play, then that's the choice he makes.
