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.

I can't say I agree with either of these. A 208 pound guy hits anyone while they are off balance, in the head, they get hurt. And while neither of us are in McAvoy's head, the presumption is that you intend to do what you did.
