Another cheapshot from a scrub, beer league jerk. And the league will fine him 25 cents because it REALLY cares about player safety.
I appreciate you including Pacioretty's uncalled boarding in there as well. Grzelcyk absolutely shouldn't have done what he did, but it allows us to see why he's doing it (unlike the TV broadcast, which seemed to want to paint it as a random act of violence). If Pacioretty wanted to hit Grzelcyk there, he should use the shoulder – it would've rubbed him out just the same (maybe worse in terms of ability to play the puck) while not being as dangerous to the head.
Bruins hockey at its best
