After seeing the replay um-teen times I have to agree...it was a viscious hit, but it was a legal hit (IMO)...Havlat has to be aware of who is around him, he didn't even have control of the puck yet...I think the call came because, like you said, the hit knocked him out ...I don't think that any further action is needed, hell, he was ejected out of the game, I think that's more than enough already...what I hadn't realized was the Wings scored all three of their goals with only 5:22 left in the 2nd...they really are a good team!!!
