Sakic running over Stevens was my first thought too. Here's Messier running him over too.
Interesting how Stevens blasted players with their heads down, but got run over by Joe Sakic of all players when he had his head up. Messier I can understand, but Sakic was surprising.
It happens. Come to think of it, when did Sakic ever get drilled in his career? We talk about Gretzky always eluding hits in his time but when did Sakic get hit either? Almost never. I guess he just always had his head up and saw things coming, and we know he was strong on his skates to begin with because of that strong skating ability. Stevens underestimated it.
