It was a brutal, cheap, late hit. That is all that can be said, it cannot be defended in any manner. I was just as pissed at the puke Gwozdecky who sat the pukeovich a few shifts and then stuck him in when DU was going on a power play to see if someone was going to give him his ass-kicking then and put DU up 5 on 3. That was classless, but not surprising.
