nobody important
the pessimist returns
After looking at the replay several times, it looks like once Stuart pushed Doan, he became off balanced and decided to throw himself into Pavelec instead of crashing into the boards.
Thoughts?
My thought is that everything looks premeditated when viewed on slow motion replay. Perhaps his line was a bit reckless to start with, but at game speed, I think this is just one of those unfortunate occurrences that happen. Wheeler plays the same way, and if he happens to crash into a goalie on one of his net drives, would we be making the same comments? Doan plays the game hard, and if Jets 1.0 had never left, I'll bet everyone here would have been happy to have had him for the past couple of decades.
