There is a spot there where it could've gotten "under" the pads, by the arm-pit. QUOTE]
no there is isnt, we catch pucks between our arm and body all the time, but your right the motion of the swinging of the stick is what will get him a suspension. Osgood did catch him with the butt end of the stick as he skated by chasing for the puck but he would have been better off punching Osgood over using his stick in that manner, thats a big no no in the league. Osgood actually grabbed for the side of his body when on the ground not his chest, or arm pit area, he was embelishing was my point.
