Yeah well, Van Ryn turns his head twice, observes his surroundings, hears Kosto skating towards him, then, when he knows the routine corner hit is coming, goes and turns his back to him. Congratulations on having a broken finger and a concussion Van Ryn, that was ****ing retarded of you. As for that Newfie John or whatever, I doubt you skate the same speed as Kostopolous and know exactly just what kind of time you have to make that split decision. Hits from the back are wrong; but don't put yourself in a vulnerable position to get out of getting hit. Ever since I started playing contact hockey, you're told to keep a shoulder to him, not put your back to him, and don't get hit in that danger zone of 1-2 meters away from board. Tom's actual hit was dirty, but the intention isn't there, that was Mikes fault.
