Flyers' Awesomeness Cont'd

Adding to my post from a little while ago, I found this quote on the Flyers' webpage that sums up my feelings exactly. Kunitz's hit was dirty, he should get absolutely no respect,

Timonen downplayed Kunitz's hit, but Stevens said he thought the Penguins forward was trying to put his top defenseman out.

"It was a hard, hard hit," Stevens said. "He's not just trying to get the puck there, he's trying to hit him to hurt him. I'm not saying it's a good hit. Your team should be able to respond. That's hockey, that's playoff hockey. That's the way it happens. Emotions run. That's why I feel the game has a way of policing itself."

After seeing the replay, Timonen said he's surprised he didn't sustain a concussion.

"It's not really my job to judge if that's a penalty or not," he said. "It was a hard hit, obviously, and I have to move on. If you let that affect your game, and I know they're going to try to hit me, if you start thinking about that before the game, you're going to kind of let your own game down."
