There is no doubt in my mind there was intent to injure. Reminded me of the Steckel hit on Crosby years ago except this was a lot more vicious. He wants it to look innocent but it isn't.The history between the players and the fact Niskanen knowing he could possibly concuss Sid and possibly put him out a few games or even the series is the clincher. If the Caps somehow get past this series and win it all Niskanen should win the Conn Smythe Trophy. He will have been the Caps MVP.
