The Eastern Media is eating it up, however. Not surprising as they were already calling for crosschecks to be greatly penalized in the first game of the season.

There is no "incident"...full stop.
When a player gets hit hard enough...they fall down.
When the only place to fall has a body lying in that spot, then that body is going to be landed on.
The guys in the player safety department all played the game, so they know how this stuff works in real time and not super slo-mo, frame by frame, living in the Matrix crap.
MT does a LOT of borderline stuff and its part of what makes him an effective player, but this is a "nothing burger" as the kids say.
