In the first period of today's game against the Flyers, Patrice Bergeron was hit from behind headfirst into the boards by Flyers' defenseman Randy Jones. Bergeron had his back to Jones getting the puck and Jones did not let up and checked Bergeron into the boards. That to me is cheap and should not happen in hockey. Bergeron went down and looked to be motionless. We can only pray that it is nothing serious like a spinal cord injury. We'll have to wait to hear what the exact injury is.
The past week there have been other hits from behind, such as Senators' Volchenkov checking Panthers' David Booth from behind into the boards. This hitting from behind needs to be taken out of the game and if someone does it, they should be suspended. You got no guts/balls if you hit someone from behind.
Of course stupid Flyers' fans will probably say it wasn't cheap and not dirty.
