That little "victim blaming" comment during the intermission Saturday night really pissed me off. Hockey is a full-contact sport. You don't go into the boards bending over and turning your back to the play, period, never mind when you know a 6'4" 230lbs guy is coming in to finish his check.

This notion that people should never have to worry about being hit is going to cause way more injuries than anything else. Should you be allowed to step into traffic? Sure. Should you be allowed to step into traffic with your eyes closed, and a firm belief that anyone who hits you is gonna get a fine and not be allowed to drive the rest of the day? I guess, if that's the way you wanna play it, but they're gonna be driving again tomorrow and you're gonna be in the morgue. So, you know, there's that.
