I don't think the hit was that big of a deal, certainly not intentional.
The hit on Savard was intentional.
Exactly!!! Montreal police are investigating come on give me a break. All I can think of is the woman in the crowd in the movie slap shot yelling out " French P*$$*"
On a side note: Matt Cooke (same guy that put Savard out) intentionally went to the head of Ryan McDonagh during Sunday’s Rangers Pens game. New Yorkers didn't call for Cooke to be arrested and they didn't threat to picket in front of Madison Square Garden at the Rangers’ next home game. Showes you what a pack of used tampons those Montreal fans are...........
"I know a taxidermy man back home. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him!"
These hits are more a function of the design of the facility then the intent of one player to injure (and the Habs have the WORST record for injuries related to their facility)
As the video shows these impact hits have been around for a while. I would just like to see the rinks modernized to fit today's game. After all they certainly make enough money off the fans to improve the rinks.
