They showed the replay from several angles last night again on TSN, he actually does leave his feet. As I said it was very slightly done though, and definitely unintentional. It wasn't like he took a leap like some guys have done in the past.
He totally ran the guy, but tons of guys do it, including Mark Stewart on the Jets who is known for levelling guys at the blueline. To me it's a hockey hit. If not for that arm coming up it would have been deemed a clean hit I'm sure.
Is Babcock staying in Detroit?
