He made that comment? Wow. That was as clean a hit as there was. Marleau had the puck, his head was done, and Sarich just came in and leveled him. He didn't raise his shoulders, lift an elbow, leave his feet or anything. That's hockey, Mr. Wilson.
Did anyone catch the clip on CBC they showed of Sarich making a similar hit in juniors. That was even better. An open ice hit, very similar, but the other guy was moving forward and did a complete flip, head over heels, in the air before landing on the ice.
