Where you stand . . .

. . . depends on where you sit. Today, B. Thomas Golisano, owner of the Buffalo Sabres, sent a letter to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman denouncing this hit in the Buffalo Sabres - Ottawa Senators game last Thursday:



It was a hard hit, a vicious one, in fact. Dirty? Guess that depends on whether you root for the Sabres or the Senators.

But this letter . . . such concern for others expressed . . . It leads off as follows:

I am deeply concerned with the standard the NHL has adopted that seems to allow violent hits to the head.

In light of the most recent injury to our captain Chris Drury, I am calling on you to address this issue immediately before another player is seriously injured or worse.

Gee, Tom, are you just as concerned about hits like these? . . .



Or is it just the color of uniform taking the hit that concerns you? Spare us the sanctimony, big guy.
