I find the uproar a little bit over the top. Certainly a dirty, unsportsmanlike play. But almost every legal hit is more dangerous than this cup tap, without even mentioning the illegal ones.
A lot of people were saying Martin "did nothing wrong" on this play:
What did he do wrong? The overall consensus on this board, including many Wild fans, was that Ballard turned away from the hit and put himself in a dangerous position. That was a clean hit that went wrong.
