It’s been kind of slow on the interaction on this blog site lately (some of that is certainly because of me, and some from some of the changes we’ve made to the web site) but I hope this sparks some conversation. I want you to take a closer look at the hit Chris Neil put on Victor Hedman during Thursday’s game in Ottawa and tell me what you think. Take a fair and objectional view of the situation and take emotion out of the picture. Was this a clean hit? Was it dirty? Was it clean but unneccesary? Are we making too much of this?
Give me your take over the next couple of days because this will be a topic for my beat column that will run in Sunday’s paper, which will give you some of my thoughts on the matter.
