He was right about the broader culture of hockey and how the league fails to protects its stars and players in general. But I don't know that it applies here. Not really an intentional or dirty play. If he wanted to hurt him, he could have really lit him up there. Ovechkin's initial play is a bit much but nothing unusual, Niskanen is looking at the puck and raises his stick to what would have been Sid's shoulder but he's dropping down.

Did you read what Rob Rossi wrote? Jesus. I can't believe they published that.
