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.
