This is a philosophical argument from an underground bunker; irrelevant to what actually happens in the observable world. Players aren't these psychotic maniacs who all of a sudden start beating on innocent people just because one guy didn't get suspended. Nobody will take transgressions on linesman just because. That's terribly pessimistic.
I didn't see any shove. I saw DeAng trying to pull his arm free, and by sheer force was the linesman moving from it. I saw no intention whatsoever of hurting or trying to hurt the linesman despite the current state of emotion.
Are you offering a diagnosis of the events from the comfort of your sofa?
Surprised it hasn't come up yet, but anyone noticed how angry Bennett was? It didn't look like he was just sticking up for Backlund. He seemed to really want DeAngelo there. Do they have some history? I haven't seen Bennett that 'angry' before.
