I'm not a hockey fan so what made it a dirty hit? Was it b/c he led w/his shoulder, that he launched himself or just that the bruin didn't have the puck?
Was the suspension worse b/c the bruin got hurt?
Thanks

Cannot hit or interfere with a player who does not possess the puck. Cannot hit another player in the head with intent to injure- by launching himself he was intent on injuring. I think he would have gotten the same punishment even if the injury was less severe as the leauge is trying to eliminate hits like that from the game.
I gotta ask, have you watched any of the games and if so, does it make you appreciate hockey more or less so than other sports you are a fan of?

Thanks for the response.
My family all played basketball and baseball so other than screwing around a few times on ponds or playing street hockey, I didn't really grow up with hockey - my town's high school didn't have a team either.
I always watch the playoffs b/c I think its a much faster, cleaner, more exciting game than the regular season. I feel the it becomes similar to the Olympic game (I know they have different size rinks). I think the change from the hockey reg. season to the playoffs is more dramatic than any other sport. I think the refs. call it tighter so less fighting and the game seems faster. I don't think you see as dramatic of difference in the other sports b/t the reg. and playoff system.
Watched the game upstairs at "The Fours" last night and got to experience to insaneness of the Boston Celebration. I have never high-fived so many people at one event in my life. My hands are hiyrting, my voice is shot and despite the beers, my head is ultra-clear this morning.
Congrats to The Bruins and THANK YOU for bring The Cup back home!
The depth of the bruins prevails. Fourth line played like a second line and every player did more then just chip in.
Hats off to PC as I watched each player he acquired for the B's do what he expected. As much as I would hate to admit he has a eye for players that have potential that doesn't get recognized becaue they are stuck on a line that doesn't sync somewhere int he NHL. Peverly and Kelly being the latest additions along with Campbell and Horton and even Rechhi when he came with Morris and Montador.
Most players he sought out added to the core of what was there.
I always look forward to the CBC montage of the SC play-offs and I haven't seen it posted so here it is.
Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.
