wow, are we talking about the same play? The play started by Riemsdyk trying to throw a check in the corner, there was no one even in the picture with him. Pominville stepped away from the check and that is when he spun and threw his leg out and caught Pominville. Again, I don’t think it was intentional but still it isn’t the most above the board play but after watching all of the brawling happening in most of the game what does anyone expect now I guess anyway, its not exactly hockey they are play out there sometimes.

He didn’t throw his leg out to try to make contact with Pominville. I think if you took another look at the video you would see Van Riemsdyk got checked and swung his leg to keep balance. It was a freak accident. You want a penalty next time a puck hits someone up high and injures them?

Where are all whiners claiming Buffalo is getting away with Murder now. Granted Riemsdyk is not a dirty player but take a look at the replay and tell me that he didn’t throw his leg out to try to make contact with Pominville. I am sure his intent wasn’t to cut him open but he did.
