You appear to have stumbled onto the point. On the ice UNH looks like many
other teams. ON THE ICE. But Patrick took the hit off the ice from a player
twice his age, in a game in which he was not involved--other than being a
spectator. Was Patrick out of line? Perhaps. Was Joubert out of line? It
should be obvious.
Am I partial? No doubt. But it was a great hockey game. BU won. Joubert
shook hands with the team and left the ice. Why was there a need to take a
shot at a kid with an out-of-line mouth? That's the point.
