Way after the play, a vicious blindside cheap shot to the head, and then Kaberle's head hit the boards and he was wheeled off on a stretcher.

And no penalty on the play. This is getting ridiculous.

Yeah, now that it is a Toronto player, I wonder if the league office will do something about it.

Now, objectively, this hit was much later than the hit on Drury. Plus, Kaberle DID have his head down a bit and the hit came at him from the front, not the back like Neil's hit. Like Drury though, I think Kaberle got most of the damage from the boards when his head hit them. His helmet stayed on though.

That was just as bad as the Drury hit. This joke of a league needs to do something about this.

I actually believe it's worse than the hit on Drury

yeah it is and thats why the league will most likely fine him or suspend him. To me, it looked like his feet left the ice before the hit.

Except for the timing issue, I think it's less of a cheap shot than the hit laid on Drury. Wasn't from behind, and Kaberle could see it coming to a certain point.

Golisano should write another letter. I'm being serious, not sarcastic.

Well, he got a three game suspension. After the Sabres broadcast they said Campbell issued a short statement that went something like this, "he has been given a three game suspension due to the lateness of the hit". It WAS a lot later than Neil's hit on Drury, but whatever.
