I don’t think he hit him too hard. He certainly didn’t hit him as hard as he could. Not the smartest of hits, but it doesn’t seem that bad to me.

Eh, not impressed.

Also please do not suspend him before next Wed’s game against the Caps. They are planning a “Welcome to the Eastern Conference” party for him.

Habs acquire another cheapshot-then-turtle douche. Whee.
