Of course he is not a saint, that being said the on ice behaviour between teams seems to be self regulated because the refs do not seem to do it. I seem to remember the wild putting Johnny out with broken finger awhile ago.
Really if the other team is going to go after your stars then that means its open season on their stars. That being said I saw nothing wrong with the Gio hit(other then it was very effective), whereas the slash on JG was clearly illegal.
