Add the #### eating grin to the equation, and IMO he deserved everything he got.

I didn't see it as a cheap shot either. It was a gloved jab. Zadorov knew exactly who was engaging him and did exactly as you described, looked for the ref to intervene.
If you're going to board a smaller player you should realize the other team is not going to take it lightly.
Lucic didn't drop his gloves and rear back and smoke him out of sight. Not a cheap shot.
