If I remember correctly, Hakstol made a simple comment on the difference between the two actions and the disrespect that was shown in the handshake line - one was visible and the other wasn't. He wasn't defending Blood or trying to justify it, just being realistic about the situation.
One thing I like about our coach is his emphasis on responsibility, especially when a mistake has been made. From what I hear, not sure that is needed in minny with how perfectly behaved their team is. Hope the teams meet up again before the year is over, it's always fun.
