If a Canuck goalie did that, three Boston Herald 'writers' would have posted a column about how dirty the Canucks are.
A goalie cannot initiate contact with an oposing player. Simple rule.
Then tonight a Canuck player gets pitchforked and driven back first into the boards. No penalty. He is in hospital.
But a Canuck gets the longest suspension in NHL playoff history for a clean hit that was delivered .433 seconds late, according to NHL rules.
To say nothing of the constant hacking of the wrists and back of the legs and ankles by the "big bad" Bruins.
