I don't know why Blake stopped up the way he did, probably cause he's tired of getting hit, but the way it turned out was more on him than anything else.

Yeah....I dont like blaming the guy who got hit but...you're a defenceman. You've gotta ride that hit. Yeah, that'd still be likely 2 minutes for boarding because that was a hard hit, but you gotta ride it.
Hitting the brakes at the end is just going to make things worse. The forechecker thinks he's just going to finish his check and then you just try and stop? Thats not gonna go as well as you think it will.
Still a penalty all day long, and possibly even still 5, but in terms of getting hurt? You gotta ride that hit.
