Even if we want to tell ourselves it was clean and a hip check, if it was the other way around we wouldn’t be so forgiving. He does have a suspension for a similar hit so it’s not out of the realm of possibility. He’s a competitor and I’m sure it’s not malicious though.
Why do we call hockey pundits analysts? They're just media personalities trying to pump up interest in the game. Aside from say, Friedman, or McKenzie, do any of them actually analyze anything or have insider information? Using the term "analyst" makes them sound I don't know...objective...and intelligent as if they have more knowledge than your average fan.

Especially on an Oilers broadcast, they're paid shills for the team. Take their opinion for what it is. Opinion.
