[QUOTE="Hopingfor500, post: 1517432, member: 746590"] Christian Laetner has been vilified for almost 30 years for that same play. If that's another player we're playing against, we'd be raising hell. This isn't hockey. If it was, it's within the context of the game. What he did would be an ejection in pretty much every other sport. Don't rationalize it. Let's be happy with the win, realize that was incredibly stupid not only because it was a cheap shot, but it put his team and that game in jeopardy at the time. Momentum flipped when that happened. If we would have lost, you'd be singing a different tune. Again, it'll be handled internally. I'm guessing BU suspending him for a game is definitely in the cards. That play is a reflection on the coach, just like when we were kids....when we did something stupid, our parents got called into the fray and we got grounded....even if just for a day. No other player lost their cool last night but him. Is this a tear down of AG? No. Is it a teaching point.... absolutely. [/QUOTE]
