So the Leafs have been saying for days that they were not looking for revenge against Cam Janssen for his late cheap-shot hit against Tomas Kaberle a couple of weeks ago. I heard interviews with numerous players, including Kaberle (who got a concussion on the hit and hasn't played since), and they all said the same thing - they're not thinking about revenge at all, they just want to worry about winning — the two points are more important than getting back at Cam Janssen. So what happens? Less than ten minutes into the game, Wade Belak goes after Janssen and fights him, and then all the players congratulate him after the fight, and after the game, they talk about what a great thing he did. What happened to "we're not thinking about revenge?"
And they wonder why people who don't follow hockey all that closely think that hockey players are a bunch of thugs, and that hockey is a violent game.
