Yeah as far as Umberger goes, it was obvious he looked up, and I couldn't tell you why he put his head back down. I think you're right though HB, he felt he had more time then he did, and I also don't think he thought it'd be a hip check, because the way he went towards Stuart looked like he was trying to squirt through the hit and get an odd man rush up ice. Stuart hitting him with the hip was the worst possible thing that could've happened on that play for RJ.
