Geddy: you're completely missing the part where i'm saying it's fine to hit him, just not
how Gryba hit him. there are plenty of legal checks in there, he did not find one of them imo. i guess we can disagree whether he missed on purpose or not. i still say not, have seen too many guys who have gone through their whole lives hitting high on purpose.

yeah for sure, but on a play like that, AA isn't skating by anyone. he's not even trying to. he's gliding while looking backwards for the puck. i suppose there's another difference from the Ference/Kassian one, where ZK is making a move to elude AF.
