I actually watched the full game (a first for me this Stanley cup finals) and it was a good game I thought. Now I was a little out of it because I was still hungover Saturday night from going out Friday (I cannot drink like I used to), but it looked clean to me. A little late, maybe, but split second late. And isn't the rule that you still have possession (and still fair game) even if you have got rid of the puck so long as no one else has touched it? I didn't think he led with the elbow either.*
*I still hate Scott Stevens and am so pleased that Kariya scored later on (and got up and walked off the ice after the hit), I just think the call was the correct one.
