I would be the first in line. Though if Ruutu would have done it, it wouldn't be the first time, which would make me think it was intentional.
Lets say the same thing happend in the NHL and it where Brasher or Claude Lemiuxe who crosschecked someone they would take a ton of hear. If Jason Spezza does it the reactions would pretty much be the same, like "what da f%&¤ did he just do?".
Dark Metamorphosis said:i didn't see the tourny, but if it was anything like in the nhl, there was probably no player that got slashed, hooked, and held more than crosby too.
Have to agree on this, I've seen Forsberg play a ton for almost 15 years now. The first 8-9 years he never dived. Though when the injurys started piling up because nobody human could handle the beating he took he started taking some dives when the refs let everything go, still its not like he ever dived without a reason for it, like a hook, and I also doubt he dived more then anyone else. Tonight there where some dives for both teams, but people complain on Crosby because he is so damn good. On the other hand, its not something I have a big problem with. What superstar haven't been pressured by media and fans of other teams? Its comes with the proffession...

I kind of like him at times. But he seems to have big problems with his nerves. That hit just had braincramp written all over it.
SectionX said:I couldnt watch in the end, how did Backstrom play today? My nerves are so bad.
Mine too, almost unbeerable. I never had problems with them before, but now...
I almost wonder if I will be able to watch these kinds of games when I get older.
