Thats it. I'm saying that he was headhunting or anything like that, but it wasnt a good hockey play.

These things happen when men are playing at full speed, against good players, sometimes several times a game. If Johnny was even average sized he probably bounces off that hit like nothing happened. If MacAvoy doesn't play physical in that situation he's likely not playing the next shift after getting burnt.
Burke was saying something to this effect today on the morning show too and I completely agree. We better all be careful about pumping tires on suspensions for things like this that are clearly not at all malicious. It leads down a road of zero contact in the game that I don't think any fan want's to see.
