This is what people are saying about the legal hit and Jack Johnson.
From the MiamiHawk Talk.
redhawkforlife said; People will say it was a clean hit. I agree. But Jack knew exactly what he was doing at that exact area of the ice. We've seen it over and over from him from jr's on up.
Bonk said; Who would've guessed? Hack checks someone cleanly for the first time in his adult life, and the guy loses consciousness. I'll bet he won't try that again.
Josh D who put the video said;jack johnson nearly kills ryan smyth
Joe Sakic added: "It wasn't a dirty hit. (Johnson) hit him hard and (Smyth) hit the corner of the glass. It was just unfortunate as to where it happened."
Johnson said, "that he felt bad about the check that sent Smyth sprawling to the ice."
However, he knew what was coming next. Clean hit or not, a fight had to happen. It's part of hockey's code.
But there's honor among fighters, and Laperriere extended Johnson the courtesy of deciding when the brawl would occur.
"He came up to me and said, 'Do you want to get it over with?"' Johnson said. "I said, 'Sure."'
The fight never took place as Rob Blake stepped in and played the role of peacemaker, quickly breaking up the fracas. He didn't want to see his young defenseman get hurt by the fists of Laperriere. Not for what he thought was a clean hit.
UMicers said; JJ is a disgrace to himself, Michigan and LA. He's always done that crap. Us Michigan fans don't count him as a Wolverine. He stayed here 2 years then went pro. I hate the Avs, but I like Ryan Smith - He's an Oiler to me.
It looks like Smyth got his head run into the column that connects each glass pane. Almost as if it was protruded out from the glass. Or was that the angle and it was really just JJ's elbow he threw?
I've seen a LOT dirtier hits. Still, JJ is an IDIOT of the highest order.
