A couple of things about the Svechnikov hit.
While not brutal, it was after the goal was scored and he had time to not hit him.
If the puck was still in play, it would've been called interference so not sure why it wasn't called that way, even after the whistle was blown.
Why have "gritty" players on the roster if they're not going to go after a guy who does that to one of their own? Most likely, Svechnikov isn't going to drop the mitts. At the same time, every time he touched the puck last night after that hit, he should've felt the pain. And if you can't hit him, you go after their other skill guys. We played like that for a little bit but then ramped it down. I'm of the sort if someone takes an unnecessary run at one of yours, you do the same back to them, especially if you're down in the game and need to switch the momentum.
