I like what Myers did just because I like to see Myers be a mean SOB.
But... what is people's problem with Frattin's hit?

You're not crazy. They played well.
In the first period, every line was flying. We looked like a totally different team.
And though Myers wasn't perfect tonight, the confidence meter is rising by the game, and I thought he was the most - for lack of a better word - "prominent" that he has been all year. Thrilled with that. He can dominate.
Pysyk was solid again. Risto is going to be a player.
Sucks that Ehrhoff is hurt. I hope it means ruhwedel or McNabb come up and Zadorov goes to London.
I'm happy right now.

Just seems like the NHL has been removing these hits, I think that is a hockey hit and has a place in the game.
Myers gained the respect of his teammates although he should have started throwing right away
G:
According to Rob Ray, the Sabres were never dominated
B:
I''m not sure he knows what "dominated" means

It's very late
...which would make the head the principle point of contact and the check illegal.I guess it's hard to tell, but it seems his shoulder hit's Cody's shoulder first, although only very slight, before hitting the hit, thus not making the head the principle point of contact.

He's a great supporter of his partner. He plays with natural aggression and a willingness to play bodies. I'd much rather have to rein him in and tone it down than try to instill aggression into him. Same with Zads. Good gap control, which means he's confident in himself and his skating ability and positioning/angling. He's smart with his shot choices, he's smart with deciding whether to go tape to tape, off the glass, or take it himself on the breakout. He doesnt get caught looking down at the puck on the one on ones (something a guy like Myers is still guilty of after a couple seasons).. And though tonight isn't exactly a perfect example or testament, most often when he is on the ice we break out of our zone, which is so so so valuable. It's so clear to me that he is going to grow into a solid asset.
Right now he looks like a rookie. But all I said was that he will definitely be a player. The signs are so obviously there - and he will continue to grow. He belongs in the NHL already, which is awesome.
