How many times a year do fans rile themselves up for a grudge match game only for nothing to happen? Everyone outside Ottawa knows it was accidental, so I sincerely hope nobody embarrasses the organization trying to avenge an accident.

"To have him taken out by a goon is unconscionable," Melnyk began. "Whether it was accidental, or whether it was reckless, or whether it was intentional, to me it doesn't matter.
"It's something that never should have happened. This player should never be playing in this league. It's a league for elite players," said Melnyk.
Holy **** he doesn't know when to stop.
justice? It was an accident.
If it was an accident, why did he skate away?
If I accidentally stepped on someones achilles with my skate, I'd immediately wave the training staff over.

Why did Alfie skate away then?
Only Cooke and karlsson knew that an Achilles was stepped on.
Anderson, and the ref knew that there was a problem right away... I assume EK screamed as well...
Sure, but that doesn't change that Cooke skated away as if he didn't do anything, despite the fact he knew what had happened even if it were an accident.
That screams guilty, like a drunk driving hit and run.
If it was a genuine accident, you'd think he'd act like it.
