These guys play to win and are paid to win, not to make sure their opponent is in good health.
Sucks it happened and sucks it happened to Sauer who was quickly becoming a staple on our blue line, but things happen in contact sports. Doesn't make Phaneuf a "jackass" or a "dick", it makes him a guy doing his job for his team.
Were you up in arms when Staal laid Stajan the **** out a few seasons ago? I doubt it since it didn't adversely impact the Rangers. You, like most other Ranger fans, were most likely defending Staal for making a clean, enormous hit that - just unfortunately - sent Stajan back to the Middle Ages.
