The Official NHL Playoffs Thread

[g-bebe]

To say that McSorley didn't mean to hit Brash where he did is just insane. He went after him with one purpose, and that was to hit him in some way or form. He chose the stick to the head method, and it ended up being ugly. Just because this was a heat-of-the-moment thing, doesn't excuse the fact that he might have not necessarily meant to INJURE him on any other normal basis.

It's unfortunate the collision ended up leaving Hartnell unscathed and Cheechoo done for the season with a banged up knee. But get over it. This wasn't an intentional knee-on-knee.
