I am not denying that he, at times, has been a little floppy. he sure isnt the only one. but that hit alone was bad on hamrlik.

Hamrlik's hit was another exemple of a player who turn his back at the last second... Hamrlik is in no way a dirty hitter! it deservd a boarding penalty!
but the fact that staal stayed on the ice for a good while like he was almost dead trying to sell to the refs that Hammer deserves a major, and then he is back on the ice not even 30 seconds later like nothing happened!
what about the dive on Tanguay's penalty (i dont know by who)... it was an "Avery level" dive...
