- Daigle didn't slash anyone... he cross checked Kenny Jonsson.
- Take a steady grip with two hands on the stick and cross check
- someone's neck against the boards... I don't know how that could
- be seen as accidental.
- Naslund intended a slash... but it was accidental that it hit
- Wright's face.
- Anyhow, both Daigle's and Naslund's actions had nothing to do with
- hockey... they got well-deserved penalties and were rightfully ejected
- from the game.

- Well, well... turns out that Forsberg never said that the Canadians
- "couldn't skate", as you first stated. Instead, he said that the Swedes
- are better skaters than the Canadians. There is quite a difference...
