Kronwall deserved it?

[Hack & Whack Rule! 160]

Even if he had taken a few liberties with his hits, neither Kronwall nor any other player, deserves a knee on knee. You got a problem with someone, it's go time, you challenge him and drop the gloves. I've rarely seen a guy get up and just shake off a cheap shot like that. Taking someone out at the knee can have implications on an entire career, with recurring issues later on. Laracque knew he was going to be outplayed, so he did the only thing he could...play hockey like a retarded monkey. And, for the record, Kronwall's hits, while devastating and fun to watch, are not dirty. At best, he's had a couple that were a little high.

Anyone who states that any hockey player deserves a knee on knee, doesn't know, watch, or play hockey. They don't know the people, and have no clue what's going on.

i think we need to be a little more honest with ourselves here guys... this "he might have slightly left his feet this one time when he accidentally hit someone slightly too hard" stuff is not being honest. while i don't think he is a dirty player by any means, he has left his feet to hit several times. a couple of them may have even merited short suspensions. honestly, its things like that that cause fans of pretty much every other team to think that the wings get favorable calls.

however, i think there is a big difference between kronwalls hits and what laraque did. with hitting, things happen so fast, that often you catch a guy the wrong way and a clean hit becomes a penalized hit in milliseconds. however, what laraque did is dirty no matter how you slice it.

Do us all a favor... dig up an example of Kronwall leaving his feet BEFORE the hit and not getting called for it. It rarely/never happens.

You are no different than these so called "fans of pretty much every other team"... you don't know what you are talking about.

You tool...You mean the Wings who have trouble getting their goals to be counted as goals?
