It's about context. It also makes Tootoo's move a tad bit more incendiary. If in his first game back someone boarded Crosby do you think the offending player would be given a light sentence?Quote:

Look, all I'm gonna say that if Kesler missed some games because of a concussion and in his first game back was at the receiving end of a reckless hit by an opponent, I have a hard time buying that you'd be fine and dandy with it. Anyway...Quote:

Given Lucic got nothing for "not meaning to hit Miller" I do not understand how Tootoo then gets nailed. Shanahan is just a different pile of the same old stuff.Quote:
