NHL

Poffa: Går spelaren mot axeln så är det ok, siktar han på huvudet så är det inte ok. Tacklar någon med avsikt mot en motspelares huvud så är det per definition en regelvidrighet. Richards vet vad han gör.

Wayne Gresky: Ingen extra avstängning för Richards.

"According to NHL Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations Mike Murphy, who was in charge of making the final ruling, there were a number of reasons that led to the decision not to suspend Richards: he did not target Booth's head; he did not leave his feet to deliver the blow; he did not hit an unsuspecting player; he is not a repeat offender; and he did not hit Booth late, as it was determined the blow was delivered less than a half-second after Booth passed the puck."
