Watched it live. Initial impression was that the head was the point of contact. No real way to say if that was the intent though. After seeing all the replays last night, and today again I’ve seen nothing to change my mind.

Yes so if someone injures someone lets hope he himself gets injured. That logic makes perfect sense.

For my money it looks like a legal hit. I’m sure my judgement is questionable, since Savard is still missing from the roster. I did not get the feeling that the head was the intended point of contact, or the primary point of contact, since Sarich kind of ran him over and hit him all over at the same time.

Personally, if Matt Cooke sees a few bluebirds circling his head I think it’s a good thing. He needs a little payback for the crap he pulled over the last few seasons. What better time to instill a true feeling of remorse than when he’s trying to make a change in his career? I’d be happy if he was “instilled” into retirement.
