The thing that makes this even worse is that the knee-on-knee rule is one of the ones the league has specifically said they are going to strictly enforce this year, along with the throat slashing type gestures as demonstrated by a quick suspension of Boynton. None of the media outlets even had that "infraction" on their radar until the suspension happened. EVERY media outlet is reporting the Orpik cheapshot yet we hear nothing from the league about it. Not even that they are looking into it or anything. This is how the bias for Pittsburgh s*** gets started.
Also, I just watched the Downey fight. It doesnt look like he got beat THAT bad, after trading blow for blow he took a few shots and lost balance. Stupid pens announcers.
He sent him off the ice on a stretcher after a nasty hit from behind back in 2007, I believe.
It was a head on hit behind the net where Drake had a lot of steam and just leveled Lebda. I do believe he visited him in the hospital though that night. Just goes to show, Drake is awesome.
