What it caused Avery to do is inconsequential and thank goodness it didn't end up with the back of his head smashing off the ice.  The bottom line is that Feds meant to push the back of Avery's skate. Avery is a goon. He took a run at Sid prior to this and likely this was Karmic payback on the ice, it doesn't make it any less wrong nor does it justify him trying to sucker Feds, but Feds was wrong for doing it. @AJ

If you watch a few seconds before and after what's actually shown in the GIF, you'll see that Fedotenko didn't intentionally touch Avery at all. Their skates bump, but Avery barely even flinches and doesn't fall down or anything. Fedotenko is simply trying to square-up to the guy with the puck who's getting ready to pull the trigger on a shot so he can block it. It's just a typical hockey play where two guys come together during a typical hockey play. It sure didn't warrant a sucker punch from behind! As far as Cooke goes....from what I have seen, it looks like a cheapshot, but I haven't been able to locate any video where I can see his skates leaving the ice. Regardless of that, he did hit him in the face. The animated GIF doesn’t show enough before and after.

It's nice to see such a refreshing outlook on what happened from your side. Didn't see the hit or the slew as I'd already left. I want Cooke in for tomorrow to face the music. Great post.
