Does Pavelski get that MVP for that game?
That was a brutal injury, looked like the whole top of his melon split open.
I'm NOT a VGK fan, except that they were playing the sharkies. Eakin deserves the cross-check penalty, but that's about it. Stastny was more "get off me" and then gravity took over. Brutal that there was blood on the ice, but not sure if it warranted the major/ejection. IF the x-check had occurred in a vacuum without that odd brush-off by Statsny, I don't think we would have seen blood.
What we don't know is if Eakin said something to indicate some higher level of animosity/taunting that combined with the x-check warranted the major.
