Eric Nystrom's hit on Kris Letang 2/29

Head down, looking at puck...that's what happens.

Good call by Shanny.

Put a Bruins jersey on Nystrom and a Canucks jersey on Letang and it was a perfect textbook hit.

Because despite how stupid he can be, people watch and talk. It's the Don Cherry effect.
